SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We, the Class of 1960, were initiated into Walnut High School in 1956, as green Freshmen, with an enrollment of approximately 40 members. Our advisors during that crucial period were Mr. Baxter and Mrs. Yonk. Our elected officers were: president, Mario Brown; vice-president, Fred Perrizo; secretary-treasurer Bruce Page. As Freshmen, our various activities during the year seemed very important to us. GBH Way sponsored a trip to Chicago for us, which was one of the high lights of the year, such as serving refreshments at the Homecoming Dance and selling popcorn at football games. During our first year, our Student Council senator was Deanie Hochstatter, and our representatives were Anita Buzard, Gary Eckberg, Arlene Jacobs, Linda Keleher, and Fred Perrizo. Under the direction of our advisors for the Sophomore year, (Miss Matson and Mr. Baxter), we elected as our officers: president, Bruce Page; vice-president, Fred Perrizo; secretary-treasurer, Anita Buzard. Our Student Council members for this second year were: senator, Roger James and representatives Mario Brown, Gary Eckberg, and Arnold Von Holten. Our big money-making project was the magazine sale. One of the most active years of W.C. H. S. was our Junior year. To guide us, we elected as our officers: president, Phil LaRussa; vice-president, Bryce Page; treasurer, Arnold Von Holten; and secretary, Nick Pasqual. Our advisors again were Miss Matson and Mr. Baxter. To raise money, we sold refreshments at athletic events. We put out bi-monthly school paper, Campus Chatter. Our Junior play, Shy Guy, was a big success. We worked long and hard to produce a good prom, using the theme April in Paris. 28
