Swot 6lm Hutouj When we seniors started in Junior High School, it was as if a whole new world had just begun. We were constantly getting lost and, to make matters worse, everyone called us Greenies By the time we were in the eighth grade, we thought we were really big shots. Now we could laugh at the new Greenies , never thinking that we could have possibly been that bad. About halfway through this year, every member of the class was given the Eighth Grade Test, in which the upper 10% of the students were given certificates. Then all at once we were Freshmen in high school. We could now join clubs and be in many other extra-curricular activities. We will never forget the initiation into some of these clubs. This year also marked the beginning of the scholarship tests. By the time we were sophomores, we began to think of ways in which to make money for our senior trip. We sold light bulbs and took our turn running the concession stand at the home basketball games. Also, some of us went to the Junior-Senior Prom for the first time. We started off our junior year by showing everyone our new class rings, which we had ordered the year before. Our ways of making money this year included dances, a car wash, and a bake sale. The outstanding events of our junior year were the Junior Play, The Brain Storm , and the decorating for the Junior-Senior Prom. Our senior year was a very busy one. It began with the election of class officers and the choosing of the annual staff, which includes nine people elected by the class and approved by the principal. The school paper was published by the seniors who took journalism. Sources of income in our senior year included dances, the senior work day, a day in which the members of the class volunteered to do any odd job, and the Senior Play. Other highlights of our senior year were the Junior-Senior Prom, and of course, graduation. We, the seniors of ’63, will long remember all the happy times we have had these past few years, and we would like to thank the teachers and all others who helped us. 28
