What climaxed the Junior year were our very successful Junior Play, A Ready-Made Family”, and our Junior Prom, Evening in Paris. At the end of that Junior year, our class had decreased to 36 students. But of course, our Senior year was the most exciting and the one that went the fastest. In this final year, Colonel” White and Bill Smith still led our class as president and vice-president, respectively. While again, our secretary was Barbara; and treasurer was Gary Peyton , and our class advisor was Mrs. Howard. In this year we gained Howard Kalk, Molly Brown, and Gail Brown, and lost Toni O Dette.
