“Now you see, it’s this way ... “says President Ronnie Bowhall to Ruth Singleton (vy. pres.), Anna Kleles (treas.), and Maggie Moore (sec'y) as they discuss the senior finances for one day in New York. 50 OSSCS CE a Fe The year 1960 has been a special year in many ways, which will serve as a crazy, happy, mixed-up, but treasured memory of being seniors and preparing for adulthood at Dover High. February 25 was a big day for sixteen seniors and seven juniors as they proudly posed before the assem- bled student body for their induction into the National Honor Society. This was the first time members had been chosen from the junior class. Students are elected to the society on the basis of scholarship, leadership, character, and service. These were further explained in the assembly by four student speakers, John Kast, Penny Layton, Mary Lou Lobaccaro, and Gerry Wall. Reverend Raymond Best of St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church was the guest speaker. On College Night the Honor Society members served as guides to hundreds of students from all over the state seek- ing facts about the colleges they were interested in attend- ing next year. On April 7, they served as hosts at a tea given for Delaware AFS students at Penny Layton’s home. On May 6, they again hosted the AFS’ers on Old Dover Days, guiding them through the historic homes of Dover with a luncheon at Jean Crossley’s home. Time was grow- ing short. The month began to dwindle down to weeks, the weeks to a few precious days .. . and, finally, graduation came. Some laughing, some crying, they bade farewell to Dover High. John Kast, Francis Steele, Norman Magee, and Pauline Marker smiled proudly as they posed around the podium from which they would later give their commencement speeches.
