DURING OUR GOLDEN YEAR Again City High aimed for the top, when eleven Merit Scholarship semi-finalists reached the distin- guished final number. The rapid growth of the Honor Society bears well the quality of City's academic curriculum. When college applications and scholarship forms come into prominence, the Voca- tional Forum aids students in making choices for later scholastic goals. City High got her face lifted with plaster and paint. Just as the final touches were being applied, over three hundred delegates from throughout Ten- nessee descended upon CHS for the State Student Council Convention. As a result of long hours of careful planning and preparation, in addition to wonderful co-operation by the faculty and students, this undertaking was a grand success. City also received the honor of electing a President for next year's convention from our student body. Following April Fools Day, that iolly .lunior Class presented One Foot in Heaven as their dramatic en- deavor for the year. This was iust a beginning of many tasks in store for the Juniors as they slowly take over the responsibility now held by Senior members. Days fly faster, and faster as another year draws to a close. May Day, numerous houseparties, the Armed Forces Day Parade, Junior-Senior Prom and many more gay activities round out another Golden Year at City. Class night, after the speakers had come and gone, the 1960 Dynamo was presented as a final touch to preserve a host of glowing memories. Gradu- ation marks the climax of the year for underclassmen, but for the solemn Seniors clad in white, walking with measured tread to receive a coveted diploma, this is iust the beginning. Precious knowledge kindles the golden flame of truth as the memories grow dim. In our hearts we know that Our Golden Year will live forever. PARLEZ-VOUS FRANCAIS? Many students choose to take a foreign language as a part of their curriculum while at City. Miss Brown, the French teacher, points out a poster showing an historical spot in France. DOODLING GIRLS? Art students display their talents in all phases of school life. Greer Moore helps Mary Ellen Roach improve her picture while Montez Miller, Shirley Clark, and Helen Ruth Akers work hard to learn the best techniques of art and drawing. ACCURACY PLEASE Miss Smith points out the best way to use the machines in the business department to Linda Byrd.

GLOW OF ACHIEVEMENT GLEAMS IN GALA SCHOOL ACTIVITIES Our Golden Year has been gilded with excitement, achievement, laughter, and love, but slightly tarnished too, with disappointments, sorrow, and regretted mistakes. All of these are necessary along the road to maturity, for these three years form a foundation for later life. This year saw many changes come to our school. The band and drill squad looked forward with eager anticipation to a glimpse of their new director, Mr. Tilson, Although he had a difficult position to fill, we're proud of him and the way he's fitted into the faculty group. Also in the list' of new faculty members comes coach Rudy Rohdanz and with him a staff of new coaches. This, together with the natural explosive enthusiasm of the student body boosted school spirit to an all-time high. To start off the year, a new sophomore cheerleader, Linda Rich, was chosen to be an adorable addition to our vivacious squad. During the football season, the new student activity cards were printed and put into use for the first time. By the time the Get Acquainted Party rolled around the Senior boys were beginning to become aware of some cute sophomore girls, so the date list was long and the party a roaring success. Another highlight of the year was Parents' Night when all moms and dads of Dynas and Moes came over to enioy a gala display of R.O.T.C. precision, band and drill squad performances and pre- sentation of proudly beaming sponsors, as well as to check on the first six weeks gracles. Not long after the horrible grade news was revealed, new members who were still in clubs were informed of initia- tion. Weird characters roamed the halls that fateful Thursday and everyone who has ever been through an initiation has gory memories of these ritual ordeals. With the presence of fall, came the Harvest Festival when everyone donned overalls and stepped into a countrified atmosphere. ln marked contrast, the Senior Class presented the dramatic spec- tacular, Our Town, for their play. Many long hours were spent in polishing up the finishing touches which made the play such a success. During the Thanksgiving season the sophomore class presented their traditional program in chapel, and gave a skit on the first observance of a national holiday. Christmas spirit rang through the halls with the fun and frolic of the Senior Christmas Program, given for orphans, as well as in the awe-inspiring musical contata of yuletide music by the choir. Following the long-awaited vacation, came Pre-Vues practices and semester exams. Everyone was always in a hurry and aspiring performers were often seen in off-moments with noses iammed into dusty textbooks. Snow graced our fair city with a frosty blanket of white which eliminated' four full days of school and made possible a bus trip to the Smoky Mountains for a day of sledding and snow fun. Nevertheless Stunt Nite rehearsals continued in the mighty conflict of man versus weather. ln a glittering display of beauty and talent, Stunt Nite of Sixty proved victorious. BUT WHY?
