cross country did their share of notable work in that sport. All in all, the sports depart- ment had many seniors to its credit. We found more of our class members in such other important activities as Student Council, where president jack McGregor supervised their important work. The senior members of Activity Board readily helped to handle all our financial cares. And of course, the Activity Board underwrites all expenses for our senior prom-just in case we find we need funds. We had such hard- working club presidents as Nancy Pounds, Leaders' Club, Earl Sidler, French Club, Chuck West, Varsity Club, and Miriam Fay, Junior-Senior Y-Teens to mention only a few. When it came to fine entertainment, the seniors in the Fall Play, Barretts of Wim- pole Street, did their share back stage as well as on stage. Dean Ewart took the male lead. Other senior members of the cast, Ali- son Young, Bill Terrell, Ronnie Hoechstet- ter, and members of the make-up commit- Refreshment stand at the tee-all did a fine job. We are also coming up with some of the leads in the spring play, The Curious Savage. Commencement on the site of our home football games, Graham Field, is something every senior looks forward to. The blue caps and gowns, the treasured roll of parchment that is the long-awaited high school diploma, the ushers in their fresh blue and red uni- forms, the white programs with the long columns of names inside, the loving friends and relatives proudly watching in the stands . . . this is Commencement. And as we stand together on the Hill, we realize the tears and laughter have all been very worthwhile. This last year was hard work, but it had its share of fun and sentimental memories. Yes, it has all been For You, High. And as we sing our class song together on Class Day, our last day of Chapel, we can look back with pride and whisper, Thanks, High . . . Thanks for the Memoriesf' Rae Prudente, Senior Class Historian Sock Hopf' Boys like milk for lunch. Nancy makes a Sale .-.17-

Prudente. cThanlQA ton the CWlemoni3 This is our last page in the book of mem- ories for three wonderful years. There are so many things that we can honestly point to with traditional senior pride. Our Prom, Stairway to the Stars, the days we read the Bible in chapel, those literary masterpieces- our autobiographies, the accurate number of days left that we kept track of so religiously on the blackboard, the day we practiced for commencement on Graham Field-all these assorted memories and many more are ones we shall recall when we think of our senior year. To begin our year, we elected our class officers. Bob Rohm, our president for the sec- ond consecutive year, led the class with the able assistance of Joan McAlister, Vice Presi- dent, Norma jean Lindgren, Treasuterg Nan- -15- cy Schalles, Secretary, and Rae Prudente, Historian. On the gridiron we cheered a predomin- antly senior squad. Although the season was not spectacular, it still felt good to be a Wil- kinsburg fan after such games as Penn and Mt. Lebanon. Many senior gym shoes pound- ed the basketball court during that exciting season. We finished in third place, after be- ing nosed out of first place by a slight margin. But after that last home game with Scott, anyone could be proud of the Wilkinsburg Five. Baseball had its outstanding seniors too. The boys certainly held their own on the diamond. Practicing daily at Graham Field benefited our track stars, as one can see from sorne of the new records established by sen- iors. And of course, the representatives in
