SENIOR SPONSORS, OFFICERS Mr. Francis, Miss Campbell, Dave Branson, vice-pres.; Mr. Thedinga, Tom Farrell, pres.; Carol Wolfing, secy.; Miss Doherty, Miss Robertson. Sponsors and officers deserve a special “moment of remembrance” for the numberless activities they have planned—and executed—all with the aim of making pleasanter, more meaningful, and attractive the years the seniors have spent in Renton’s classrooms. Certainly the class of ’56 will remember with gratitude and affection this cheerfully energetic group. SENIORS JERKY AO EE Earth being so good would heaven seem better?
