This semester Bobo a toy stuffed dog joined us as class mascot We, as juniors could easily be distinguished with our green and white beanies Then on a fine night in May we had our junior Prom. Stardust was our theme. Keith Witter provided the music while the couples glided across the gym floor amidst the glittering stars that adorned the curtains and hung from the ceiling. Thus ended a glorious year that will ever live in our memories. At last we came to the final stage in our journey as we took our place as the dignified Seniors. This time Mrs. Lillian Orsini and Mr. Gordon Mason were our advisers. At our first class meeting we elected Barbara Traver, Carole Wielt, Violet Filkins, and Dorothy Pitcher as president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer. We started our Senior year with our Senior Harvest Dance. The gym was decorated with the colorful symbols of au- tumn and Ed Bedell's orchestra played. Our next activity was our Senior play Let Me Grow Up which the audience liked very well. Now at last we have reached the end of our journey and have discovered our ultimate gold. With our teachers and advisers to guide us we have followed the course of our map along the pathway which led us to our treasure-graduation. Sometimes we have strayed away from the pathway and have become confused over the boulders standing in our way, but with the aid of our understanding guides we found our way back. Like the miners of long ago we did not rely on pure luck alone, but on our own strength and ability to get us through. Now that graduation is ours, we know that our treasure, our pure gold, lies in the education that we have received at Berne-Knox. Dorir jobanmn 1 X I15I +f1f ,lS to Ill li .
