SENIOR OFFICERS discuss plans for the senior trip and various money-making proiects to raise the needed money. They are Jim Hogan, president, Larry Arrick, vice-president, Nancy Kling, secretary, and Linda Riley, treasurer Graduation highlights year Raising money for the senior trip is a huge task for any senior class. This year's class was no exception. During the first semester they presented the senior class play which was entitled Our Hearts Were Young And Gay. They sold Christmas cards to raise funds. During the last semester they had a fish and shrimp fry, sold booster bars, had a bake sale and a car wash, and sponsored a record hop and a work day. However, all ended happily for them, and they all enjoyed a six-day trip to Washington and New York. During the year a number of seniors received special recognition. Ernest Thode established him- self as one of the leading young English pupils in the state by winning a certificate and a silver medal in state-wide English competition, Larry Arrick was ranked among the top ten basketball players in the northern half of the state. The hearts of every member of the senior class were in their throats during the latter part of April when the senior graduation announcements arrived with the wrong date on them. However, the an- nouncement company rushed them some more an- nouncements, and everything occurred as scheduled. Their baccalaureate was held at the Christian Church on Sunday, May 17. Beverly Lee was val- edictorian of the class, and Ernest Thode was saluta- torian. The class wore citation blue caps and gowns with white tassels. The class flower was the Ameri- can Beauty rose, and the class motto was The door to success is labelled push. Commencement was held on May 22, and the 1959 graduates left the following day on their class trip.
