3 SENIOR HISTORY As we look back over our three successful years in high school we can feel more than proud that our class has proven to be one of the most outstanding ever to leave the halls of C.R.H.S. Each year con- tributed greatly to the school's history and left an imprint in its record. We began our Sophomore year with determination to win a place of recognition among our upperclassmen. We proved our ability by winning the 350 combined booster ticket and carnival contests, which gave our class a much needed financial start. Carrying over from the championship team we had our freshman year, we placed five of our able Sophomores on the basketball A squad, an equal number in football, and many more in other athletic fields. One of our most cherished memories will always be our wonderful Sophomore Hop, Far Away Places , with the beautiful drawings by artistic members of the class. Our own school Swing.Band provided the music. We also managed to cause a little antagonism by some of our classmates finding out the secret type of music the Seniors were having for their ball. Our junior year proved to be an even bigger success than the one before. The first big occasion was selecting and ordering our' class rings, and the big moment when they arrived. We again showed our ability and salesmanship by winning both the carnival and booster prizes for the second consecu- tive year. As usual we had our line-up of juniors back on the first string in the various athletic fields. Along with this we had four of our Junior girls as yell leaders, and we always had a good turnout of juniors at all the games. We'll never forget the fun we had practicing for The Brainstorm , our Junior play, and the thrill of our first performance. For building up our finances, we again showed our sales- manship by selling food at all the football and basketball games. We remember the way we sold everything, right down to, and including, the coffee grounds.

Amid much laughter, fun and blue paint, we turned the old gym into a world of magic for our prom, Blue Moon . We will always remember it as being the prom that no other one has or ever will compare to. We will always remember the big laugh we had when the Seniors usneaked off without their potato salad, and the signs we made up and spread around to let them know how peaceful and nice it was to have them gone. As our junior year drew to a close we felt certain that nothing could ever surpass our accomplishments attained amid the fun and laughter of our junior year. . Then came our third and final year which was really wonderful. Looking back it may even look like the best of all. We were back to our old spot of ruling the roost ftryingj to run the school. We'll always remember how the Senior girls instigated the Beat Kalama Week , one of the biggest and most successful projects of the year. Our football season was one of the most outstanding for some time, with Castle Rock beating Kalama for the first time in years. It will always be a thrill to remember our last game of the season when just Senior boys started in the line-up and stood holding their helmets while the Star Spangled Banner played. Then there was the unforgettable Christmas Ball held at Leo's Chicken Inn, where there was an ex- tremely large turnout. It was beautifully decorated to the theme of Silver Bells , which carried out so well the spirit of the Christmas season. It was also more enjoyable because there was no clean-up or fixing refreshments to worry about. With the coming of basketball season the Seniors achieved their Freshmen year dream by winning a berth in the State B Tournament. The exciting trip to Tacoma and being in the Tournament will be a never to be forgotten memory to the members of the team as well as nine senior girls and three senior boys who were the only ones fortunate enough to get to go, in spite of the weather. fCont. on next page,

One of the most sentimental memories of our Senior Year, for many of us, was our last Prom, given by the juniors in our honor. The last really big time our class spent together was the Senior Excursion at Point Defiance. We'll always remember with much laughter, the sore imuscles, fallen arches, and aching backs that we all took home as souvenirs. We got an early start with everyone in high spirits and in a carefree mood. Not only the Seniors but many of the lower classmen and rfaculty will remember the little tricks we pulled and the things we did to remind them we were gone Qas iif they caredj. Something more to add to our list of memories was the wonderful Banquet which our parents gave us. The Cute decorations, wonderful dinner, and the inspiring thoughts will never be forgotten by any of us. At last came the thrilling but long awaited eventsg Baccalaureate and Commencement. The Sophomores did a wonderful job of decorating the gym for Baccalaureate. Then came the night of Graduation with all of Els excitement, and perhaps a little sadness, as we arched in to the beautiful organ music. Again the gym was beautifully decorated, this time by the Jun- 'ors. We were a little surprised afterwards at how moothly everything went off after some of the arching practices We had. We were proud when e stood to sing our own Alma Mater, which was written especially for our class by Mr. Potter. We shall always remember the thrill of receiving our diplomas, realizing that the long awaited moment ad finally arrived. We shall remember too, the any good wishes from our friends, and the fare- ells we shared with our classmates. As we each go on into the future we shall always carry with us the many cherished memories of our high school years. We shall always feel assured that they could not have held more pleasures, satisfaction, excitement or more good-times, and although we must each move on to new goals in life, the true friends and wonder- ful memories of High School will always be with us.
