SENIOR ACTIVITIES What a busy year the third one was. Don Falkenberg and Evelyn Lockard led off to a good start with the Junior-Freshman reception; a Pay Program in November; and the religious pageant at Easter. Then came the Gold Room of the Lafayette Hotel with a Junior-Senior banquet that spoke volumes for Evelyn’s ability. And last, your fleeting Senior year. A fall get-together, a Christmas party in the parlor, Dickens’ Christmas Carol,” Valentine party, Winter Carnival, May Day Festival, Senior Day, COMMENCEMENT—they sped by. Though the passing of many years may serve to dim some memories, blending them into one pleasant whole, others stand out, unfading. On the march . . . just resting a bit . . . posing . . . around the Maypole . . . crowning the quoon . . . train-bcarors . . . remombor the gold room . . . final march
