Seutors Prepare for Graduattou Close to 240 seniors of the class of 1961 received their di- plomas in an impressive outdoor ceremony in June. Upon their arrival five years ago the class had 410 members. As juniors they elected Clarence Grant, president; Sandra Russell, vice president; Joyce Bowser, secretary; Sampson Robinson, treasurer; and Catherine Brooks, chaplain. Lillian Jones was runner-up for Miss Homecoming. A look at their five years at Huntington High School during the weeks before graduation brought many memories of tri- umphs, joys, and shared experiences, as well as some sadness at the thought that carefree high school days were over. Ralph Christian and Verdell Williams can hardly believe the big day has arrived. Another big thrill occurs on the day class rings arrive. Mr. Calloway, class sponsor, checks Jeannette Hamlin's finger for size. Awaiting their turns are Leola Flemming, Mack Owens, Paul Owens, and Ellistine Jacobs.
