The hours of planning, pracTicing, and preparing for Those imporT- anT few minuTes when The 90 Senior girls in Their im- pressive gray uniforms occupied The cenTer of aTTenTion, were hours of diligenT work, carefree fun, and nervous apprehension.

Neishi w 'P' ,ven'Y k The Senior Prom was a Heavenly Holiday tor Karren Olson, Richard Balderston, Jim Clark, Linda Keddington, Vicky Edwards, Stephen Butters, Madelyn Derr, and John Vazulik. Sherrie Lish, Kathy and Karolyn Gale and Bonnie Jorgensen enjoyed cooling refresh- ments at the senior class party. Many activities constituted a senior year 8T Bountiful High. Two weH-planned parties received greater support than is usually given to a class function. Plenty of pizza, refreshing drinks, BHd informal dancing were featured at their first party. A second successful party began in the lunch room where a buffet supper was held. Each senior English class had previously been assigned paper plates, casseroles, or other items for the occasion. Following the supper, about two hundred weIl-ted seniors, who had reserved seats at the Playbox on the University of Utah campus, loaded buses for Pygmalion. As the 1961 year drew to a close, the seniors were occupied with honor, award, and senior banquets; discussing class proiects; preparing for Senior Slutt; signing yearbooks; taking college entrance exams; apply- ing for scholarships; renting caps and gowns; ordering announcements; and practicing for Ves- per and Commencement services. Aloha was the theme chosen for the senior banquet which was held at the Prudential Lite Building. The yearbooks were distributed at the senior breakfast on Senior Slutf Day, pre- ceding an all-day trip to Saratoga Resort. Grad- uation was paramount in importance to the Up- perclassmen. The caps, gowns, and announce- ments were symbolic of this memorable occasion. On graduation evening, May 26, the procession seemed endless; yet, it was a night with memoa ries', disappointments, fun, laughter, victories, dances, teachers, studies, and friends. Twelve un- forgettable years were climaxed when someone warmly shook the graduate's hand, wished him success in life, and gave him that priceless docu- ment. 2t
