The Class of LXIII's float, Roma Antiqua ' captured third place in the Peach Days float contest. The float was portrayed in brilliant shades of chartreuse and silver. Plans for the float were designed by Phil Nelson with Carolyn Hansen helping as co-chairman. Work began in Barbara Bott's garage, but the fin- ished product, illustrating Roman gallantry with a chariot led by two brilliant horses made of paper-mache emerged from under the wings of Box Elder High. The work was supervised by the class parents, Mrs. Rosamond Sleigh and Jordan Larsen. We all worked together to produce another outstanding float for the Class of '63. A contrast to the abstract designing of the junior class float was Judi Oss, adding a touch of earthliness to an otherwise Out of this World, as the float was called, creation. Those who worked on it still refer to it as the horseshoe, boomerang, box, and flow- ers. It was done in shades of blue and pink. Originality and free-siyle expression were used in its planning. Kim Butze was chairman and Susan Valentine was co-chairman. After many headaches, thrills, and cokes, the float was finished and came from its hid- ing place behind the Capitol theater. Class parents. Miss Fern Gardner and Tom Davis, supervised the work. The juniors will never forget the time they spent working on their original creation. Behind the closed doors of the high school shop a magnificent creation was in the mak- ing. Piece by piece the materials were as- sembled. The sophomores watched proudly as their float took shape. Although they did- n't have any class parents as yet, Mr. Grant Moser supervised their construction. Later Mrs. Marion Hicks became class mother. As work continued on the float, shades of lavender and pink came into view. Class of- ficers, Louis Christensen, Diane Shelton, and Karen Bush acted as chairmen. At last the float blossomed forth under the title of Stairways to Success, portraying steps leading to a book of knowledge. 7
