The first senior social function was the Halloween Dance, which proved as suc cessful as all the class's other undertakings. In November everyone was kept busy with the Home coming celebrations. The Hrst semester was concluded with the annual Christmas Party. Ditch Day in April really lived up to everyones expectations and will remain as a cherished memory in the minds of all seniors. In this same category as a cherished memory remains the Junior Senior Prom. In addition to these numerous activities, many new clubs were started this last year and to the seniors fell the job of leading these organizations. Thus, four years of timeg an unfoi gettable, carefree period came to an end. A year which had seen the largest and most. active senior class in Amphi history drive through all obstacles which it faced and emerge quiet and confident on Graduation day, ended leaving the young men and women standing upon the , i -A 1 .li 7 V threshold of new hoiizons 'Q' arf 12 At left senior homeroom presidents left to right Jim Tolkan Gerald Wester Mar vin Gibbons Burt Povters
