There were long hours of planning and writing by the large group of Designers from the senior class. The editors were determined to put the whole class to work, too; remember voting for the dedication, hunting through old dust-covered albums for baby pictures, rushing in to give your signatures for the cover and trying to fit in an appointment for your Senior Pictures? Little by little, the parts of the Yearbook were assembled in much the same way as the parts of a car are put together on the assembly line. We have added accessories to our Yearbook, too. There the juniors and sophomores, the sports and activities, and the faculty section. Just as the driver has to plan out his gasoline budget, our business staff had a tight budget to meet, too, providing plenty of headaches. Each year brings revolutionary new styles in automobiles; we’re afraid this book may not be quite revolutionizing, but some thing have been tried this year that have never been done before. Remember the down payment you had to pay when you gave your order? The whole arrangement of the book is changed around, so that just as in the new Studebaker of a few years ago, you may not know whether you’re coming or going. Our publisher this year has been a local man, and our photographer has been right in the school, so you see we didn’t have far to go to refuel.” We might have had a few flat tirei on the way, but now that we’ve reached the end of our trip, we hope that what you have in your hands is an adequate and enjoyable account of the most memorable year at Wellesley High School . . . your senior year. :-[ 27 ]-:

The Senior Council As the man behind the wheel of hi car guides the vehicle to its destination, so the driving force behind our senior clai-s is the Senior Council. The class president is council president, with the other class officers serving as officer i of the council, too. The other parts” are the senior members of the Student Council. Its function is to keep under control the many problems which arise in the student council but which are of concern only to the senior class. With Mr. Spang at the wheel, the council usually rolls along in low gear for the first part of the year when about the only real problem is selecting a clais ring. Later on, however, it has to hift into second to take care of the Senior Play, whereas, at the end of the year, we find them whizzing by in high, with the many, many senior activities to take care of. The Senior Prom comes first, followed by the cla picnic, the all-important selection of a clas fc gift (that’s really a rough time for the treasurer!), and, after the graduation assembly, graduation itself, for which time the speaker must be engaged — another task for the council. But after graduation the council’! work is done — and well done, too. Everything is put in the garage till next year’s seniors refill the tanks and take the wonderful journey through their senior year! :-[ 26 ]-:
