Gracs Practice The January Seniors rehearse dili¬ gently for graduation—their final ap¬ pearance as a class must be made with dignity. Mr. Towler gives last-minute instructions to the solemn group pre¬ paring to leave forever the carefree days of high school. i n January Senior Class Although they were troubled for the first part of their term by a lack of class spirit, after the Senior picnic, held on October 5 at Chapman Point, they united into one strong unit. From their play, Black Gold, on October 27, to the graduation exercises, on February 18, they were known for a fun loving class. Besides possessing some of the school ' s outstanding schol¬ ars, they were also favored with a goodly smattering of athletes. Led by the class president, Don Foote, they decided on the weighty issue that confronts every graduation class To cap and gown or not to cap and gown. After debates lasting weeks and after numerous private feuds, they decided not to wear them by the close vote of 1 9 to 23. However, all survived, and they graduated 48 strong.
