FLOATS OF FANCY IN FALL FESTIVAL About September 9 every class and organization began scouring the country side for hayracks, tractors, and drivers. During the next five days, the big job of transforming these old racks with clever ideas and crepe paper into beautiful scenes was begun. On Friday the Job was complete. The beautiful rainbow scene built by the F.H.A. received first prize. The freshmen captured second with their Sputnik theme while the Sophomores turned to the fairytale Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs for third place. The Juniors and the Seniors got honorable mention awards with Building America's Future and So Rare.

CLASS MOTTO: Advancement our aim; success our hope. CLASS COLORS: Blue and White CLASS FLOWER: White Carnation SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS PRESIDENT.................. Wilbur Reid SPONSOR.................Mr. McCullough VICE-PRESIDENT.............. Floyd Harris SECRETARY-TREASURER.......... Rita Parks Although the Senior class is the smallest in the school, they have done quite a lot this year. We began by building a float for the homecoming parade. The Senior's float this year was based on the title of the popular song So Rare . It was a display of things that are very rarely seen. After homecoming came the event we had been waiting for since we were freshmen—initiation. Then we organized the yearbook staff and planned the yearbook. March 28 the seniors sponsored a school party with a Mickey Mouse theme. The last of March the senior play cast was chosen. This brought springtime into the picture with thoughts of graduation and the end of our daze at A.C.H.S.
