SENIORS HEAD SCHOOL ACTIVITIES CLASS FLOWER: Magnolia CLASS COLOR: Green and White This large class of '63 has always worked together harmoniously, striving to make their class the excellent one that it is. From the bewildering days of the eighth grade, highlighted by Rat Day, they have faced the problems and joys of high school life together. They took their place in sports, dramatics, and clubs where they have made many im- portant contributions to the school program. They have also been leaders scholastically, maintaining the largest number of students on the honor roll each six weeks. The high sales in the magazine campaign and the eighth grade dance gave them an excellent start on their Junior-Se nior money-making projects which they continued through their junior year. After months of planning, secret activities, and hard work the Class beautifully carried out their theme ''Alice in Wonderland with elaborate and color- ful decorations. The senior year with the applications for college, college boards, the Senior Play, THE PEN IS DEADLIER, the Christmas Dance, final exams, and graduation has been filled with problems, hard work, and triumphs. With the advent of graduation the Class of '63 bade a fond farewell to the Halls of Ivy and set forth into the future, taking with them the memories of their high school days. 14
