£znio% In 1953, as quiet but alert freshmen, we began our high school career by electing class officers. Eldon Morgan became our first president; on his cabinet we found, Glen Jones as vice president; Marcia Williams, secretary; Kay Skinner, treasurer; Loretta Wilkerson, historian, and Jack Cramer, sergeant-at-arms. The most outstanding event of our first year was the freshman talent assembly. As sophomores and leaders of school spirit we set a new tradition for Bell- flower High. This being Sophomore Week. For our class this included a sale, our 'Caesar'’ assembly and ended with a sock-hop in the school gym. During that year our officers were Antionette Olivera, Wilba Adcock, Jack Cramer, Jim Byers, Fred Childers and Marcia Williams. Our junior year was truly an unforgettable one. Gary Smith, as president, led the class in choosing our class sweaters. We chose “California Sunset, a coral, with charcoal grey to set ourselves off from the rest of the school. We cele- brated the arrival of these sweaters with the Junior Sweater Swing held in December of that year. Gary Smith, Wilba Adcock, Jerri Olson and Bob Crane, as class officers, helped make successful the Junior-Senior Prom, “Moonlight Melodies, held at the Lakewood Country Club. Of course, we can not overlook our senior year which was the most suc- cessful of all. Many changes came over Bellflower High this year, including a new tree purchased and planted on the Senior Square at the beginning of the year. Our class rings were received in October and our senior pictures were taken during October and November. We sponsored the very successful Sweet- hearts Ball in February and, of course, the unforgettable All Night Party. As each of us goes our separate way, our high school experiences will re- main in our album of memories forever.
