Class History THE CLASS OF 1959 was formed in the fall of 1957 with twenty-three members. Officers elected at the first meeting were, President, Anne Wallis, Vice-president, Jack Salisbury, Secretary, Virginia Wauson, and Treasurer, Shirley Hill. Beginning in March, 1958, we undertook to raise money for our class fund. Candy was sold daily io the students and lhe faculty at several places on the campus. Hoi' dogs, cold drinks, coffee were sold at our home athletic games. We washed cars one Saturday each month. During April and May we did much work on plans for the Junior-Senior dance which was held on May 31. The theme was By the Sea. We decorated for lhe commencement exercises and also served as ushers. Returning 'io CSDR in Seplember, 1958, we were full-fledged seniors and received our class rings. Three members of our Junior class did not return and one became a member, so this made twenty-one seniors. Anne Wallis was re-elected class president and Jack Salisbury was retained as vice-president. Virginia Fallin continued as class secretary, into which place she had stepped during her Junior year because of the departure of the first secretary. Henry Barnes became treasurer. T'hose on the SCARLET AND GRAY staff were: Shirley Hill, editor, Molly Merritt, Karen Roach, Fred Sweetland and Pat Zvada. We had class meetings every Tuesday afternoon. It was our good fortune to help sell concessions at Riverside City Colleges four home football games. Our share of the profits swelled the class treas- ury considerably. We also sold Kathryn Beich candy and Christmas cards. By December we had reached our goal and this permitted the Junior Class to take over when school resumed in January. From January through May, work on the SCARLET AND GRAY progressed in earnest. On Sunday, March 21, Mr. and Mrs. Zvada invited us to a surprise birthday party for Pat. A buffet style dinner consisting of baked ham and fried chicken with all the trimmings was served. We enioyed the food and had fun playing croquet, horseshoes, badminton and throwing darts. We were at Catalina Island on May 1 and 2. The holiday outing was thoroughly enjoyed by all. After this came the Junior-Senior dance, class night and the senior banquet. It is with mixed feeling that we view the approach of graduation. We will go our separate ways with many pleasant memories of CSDR, accented by the events of our senior year.
