SENIOR CLASS HISTORY As we think back over the twelve years which have slipped by so quickly we remember the incidents and activities in our school lives which seem important. In this history we hope to recapture some of these memories. In our Senior class of thirty-seven there are nine who have gone to Blaine from the first grade throught the twelfth. These students are Russel Thomas, Glen Eastman, Francis Sheedy, Shirley Wilder, Theo Gudmundson, .Toe Hallson, Richard Radonski, Wayne Oertel, and Denis Durnan. Among the highlights of our grade school years was our first grade Rhythrn Band with the tambourines, rhythm sticks, cymbals, and triangles all banging at once. The effect was really something, or at least we thought so. Since our grade school years were also war years, our class participated in buying defense bonds and stamps. The Army brought a jeep to school one day and several of our class were lucky enough to be chosen to ride in it. Another highlight of grade school was when our annual picnic was held at Birch Bay during the third grade. This was quite an exciting event for most of us. In the latter part of Grade School our interests turned to drama. We studied many of the Grand Operas and put on the play Robin Hood. As our class advanced into Junior High School our interest and activities broadened. Many of the boys engaged in athletics and in the eighth grade the girls formed a Junior G.A.A. Also in the eighth grade Bernice Anderson and Theo Gudmundson werelunior High Candidates for Carnival Queen and, Doloris Gullickson and Bernice Ander- son were cheerleaders.

Our Freshman year proved to be one of our busiest and most successful years. The Junior High Athletic teams had very successful seasons with the Basketball team placing second in Whatcom County. The Highlight of the year was the Class Day and Graduation of our Class. As Sophomores we sponsored a Spring Fever dance which proved to be very successful. Other activities were also sponsored. In our Junior year we again returned to dramatics. Our class presented the very successful play Our Miss Brooks with June Vlasman, Denis Durnan, and Joe Hallson in the leads. Three members of the Junior class were sent to Boy and Girl's State. Denis Durnan was the Boy's State Representative and Jill Sabourin and Evelyn Baldwin attended Girl's State. In the Spring the class held the Junior Prom. The Hall was beautifully decorated to match the theme Dance- ing in the Dark . Elaine Englert was crowned Queen of the Jr. Prom by the class president Joe Hallson. Everyone enjoyed the music of Mel McKee's band and had a wonderful time. As Seniors we were busier than ever. Evelyn Baldwin was crowned Basket- ball Queen with Theo Gudmundson and Bernice Anderson as her Princesses. Our Senior cruise proved to be a lot of fun and the Junior Prom was one of the nicest that we have attended. With the graduation exercises, we close the cur- tain on our school day at Blaine, but certainly we can never close them on the memories of our lives. :gf F0f0R5 .QQ -Z.. f rs. H X egbl A of aw: m CLASS PROPHECY by Lois Hough The other day, June 1, 1963, I paid a visit to my former chum Sharon I-laws. Sharon is the new editor of a movie magazine, and she has a beautiful home in Beverly Hills. We got to talking about our graduation class. I asked her what Doloris Gul- lickson was doing and she said that she is a candy tester for Mars Incorporated. She had a letter from Doloris the other day and Doloris told her that Esther Karber is secretary to the governor of the state of Washington. Also that Richard Radonski is employed by the New York Times as an ace sports writer. Mel Moffit is a photographer for the same paper. While Iwas at Sharon's, Shirley Wilder phoned. I talked to her for a few min- utes and she told me that she owns a shoe factory and they manufacture shoes for people with size one and a half feet. She said that Florence Pownall is living in Montana and she was recently chosen as outstanding farm wife of the nation. I complimented Sharon on her dress and she told me it was designed by the famous fashion designer Evelyn Baldwin. Evelyn is employed by a noted dress firm in New York which is owned by Glen Eastman, I left Sharon's house and drove over to the Boursaw Floral Shop which is owned by Jackie Boursaw. Among those on her capable staff are June Vlasman, who is half time employee. When she isn't working she cares for her fifteen children, Also employed by Jackie is Bob Bruland. Upon his graduation from high school, Bob became a jockey but gave it up a year ago.
