SENIOR CLASS From Wednesday, September 4, through June 23, the class of ’61 made innumer- able accomplishments as a class and as individual class members. Their years were marked by successes in slave day and sock-hops. Their booster day floats won second, first, and third prizes consecutively, and their fair bocrths brought in record sums. The cake auction and The Loud Red Patrick as well as paper drives and the senior prom. Sayonara, punctuated their junior year. The senior year proved the busiest since they started off with the Booster Week- end sponsorship. From there they sponsored sock-hops and a pre-Christmas bake sale. The basketball season provided after-basketball dances and the refreshment booth for senior work and profit. A novel idea of a dance for parents was put into action in March with ’61’ers as chaperones. June 1961 w r as the busiest month, with preparations for graduation week and for the future. The final week was marked by the senior assembly, finals, class night, picnic, graduation, all-night party, and the senior prom, all which required months of planning. Again a class leaves ARHS with many pleasant memories of studies, athletics and other extracurricular activities, all adding up to a firm foundation for a prosperous future. Left to Ri”Iit: R. Owen, V. Ward, Mr. Freism, C. O ' Rouke, N. Cook. 26
