HAPPV OAVS It seemed only yesterday but it was really four years ago when we, the seniors, first stumbled over the doorstep of Dorchester High School. There were twenty-one of us then—shy and unsure of ourselves, and com- pletely awed by the upper classmen. We overcame most of this awkward- ness after we were initiated and overcame all of it after we initiated the freshmen the next year. We won the magazine campaign that year too. We came out on top all four years with the aid of our never-fail- ing salesman A1 Braun, who sold all of $310 worth of magazines during this time. We also accomplished much as juniors-in March giving our success- ful class play Too Many Relatives. On April 21, everyone of us spent a Dreamer's Holiday at our Junior Prom, with Bill Hennlich and Arlene Bedroske reigning. The king and his queen were crowned by Mb. Schwierske, who was our class advisor every year, and his wife. Every- one enjoyed the evening by dancing to the music of Emil and his band. As seniors, we again featured a big dance, the Snow Ball on December 27; the royalty being Don Springer and Agnes Sedlack. Our theme, Winter 'Wonderland provided the setting for the affair. The music was furnished by Howie Sturtz and nis Orchestra. Because of the fine acting ability our junior play brought to light, we again pre- sented a senior play entitled Saved By The Bell. Everything was so successful and enjoyable that it was with sadness that twelve seniors held their diplomas on May 17. Yes, we were both sad and happy stand- ing miast dear friends and waite carnations--------we, who came stumbling into the door four years ago were now walking out with poise and know- ledge .
