Mr. Vincent Spinnato was elected to the position of class leader while pretty Miss Carolyn Weimann was chosen to represent the class of '60 at the annual Mardi Gras celebration. The Class's literary geniuses published The Gem, a newspaper dealing ex- clusively with the diligent freshmen and their activities. In addition to the various selling campaigns throughout the year, the class treasury was increased by the success of our social events, which were The Skating Party and The Welcome Home Dance. The bright blue and white banner of the atom, a symbol representing progress through education, took its respective position in the auditorium of the school. The second plateau of high school in C.H.S. began with the re-election of Mr. Vincent Spinnato as class president. Lovely Miss Nina Doughty captured the title of Miss Clayton High as the class con- centrated on the Cupids Capers and April Showers dances, the outstanding money- making projects of our sophomore year. junior year proved to be an extremely successful one for the Class of 1960. Mr. Dan Ferrell assumed leadership while the self-esteemed juniors received their class rings officially raising their rank to upperclassmen of the school. Independence Hall was the next venture encountered during our industrious third year journey, as the United States History I classes participated in a pleasant and most educational trip to Philadelphia's historical shrines. The class monopolized the most important of the competitive prizes bestowed at the thirty-first of October celebration with the winning of the most outstanding class float and the crowning of our pretty Queen of Hearts, Miss Patricia Silver as Miss Clayton High School. At the conclusion of a successful football season, the students congregated in the gym- nasium for the enjoyable Harvest Hop. At last the Class of 1959 journeyed to Washington, leaving behind them the grati- fied psuedo-seniors, who immediately scampered to the glorious steps for the beginning of an unforgettable three days. At the conclusion of our junior year, the class directed its efforts toward a final tribute to the seniors at their Class Night ceremony. September 1959 found the stately seniors exhuberant over their newly attained status. The long-awaited senior year had become a reality. Mr. Wayne Streitz secured the office of president to lead us through our remaining year in the portals of C.H.S. Vivacious Miss Doris Blakeslee and the winning class float, The Jewel of the School were the class's final contribution to the Halloween festivities. As is traditional the Kick-Off Dance was held by the Senior Class on the eve of the most thrilling foot- ball season of our four years of high school. As a prelude to Washington, the entire Senior Class journeyed to the U.N. building and cut capers for a day of carefree fun-. Washington became the destination of the senior class as refrains of joyous emotions burst from the throats of the students arriving at the Capital. Reading the class will and prophecy at Class Night and attentively listening to the philosophy of the sagacious speaker standing before us at the baccalaureate service, we felt a pang of regret in our hearts. As we stood together for the last time as a class at graduation, we realized that a new world of greater responsibilities and opportunities was about to open before us. Thus it stands before us-four years of toil, fun, laughter, and tears, which we will share and remember throughout the rest of our days.
