We look back upon our four years of high school with a feeling of both nostalgia and accomplishment. We are taking a great deal away with us, but we also feel that we have left something of ourselves behind. Our freshman year was largely a matter of orientating ourselves to high school methods. To lead us we elected Judy Bennicn president, Dale Fullington vice president, Sally Stockholm secretary, and Jim DuPont treasurer. Filled with confidence after having survived our freshman year, we once again elected Judy Bennion class president. we became slightly more active that year and held a very successful dance. As we entered our junior year, we suffered the sobering effects of becoming upper classmen. As the year advanced, however, we dropped our aura of dignity and developed a nwell,where do we go from here?' attitude. To represent us during our most active year yet, we elected Jack Gerard president, Dick Petherick vice president, Sally Stockholm secretary, Pat Richter treasurer, Mary Alice Ruff girl representative, and Jack James boy representative. In our junior year we presented a good play and an exceptionally beautiful, very successful prom. We looked with awe at the rapidly approaching senior yearl Then, suddenly, it was upon us. We were struck by the whirlwind of activity which accompanies senior years. The Class of '59 broke all records with their magazine sale, netting over 83,000. We joined the Junior Class and presented a very successful play, and began to concentrate on the Senior Ball. To lead us through this maze of activity we elected Dick Petherick president, Jack Gerard vice president, Karen Hathaway secretary, and Pat Richter treasurer. The Senior Ball equalled the prom in both beauty and successfulness. The seniors then looked forward to the trip to Washington. They became typical sightseers, trying to see everything and go everywhere at once. We came home tired but filled with information and tall tales. We then faced graduation and the 'parting of ways.' We look back upon our years in high school with gratitude to the faculty and stud t h h helped us so much. Mr. Kirchner and Mrs. Cox, as advisors, accepted the responsibilitsnog :ll 02:6 projects and to them we are especially grateful. We now look forward to fulfilling our own dreams and because of the background given us by our parents and teachers, we indeed feel that we have the world in our hands. 14
