After stumbling down the numerous steps of the Library of Congress, the seniors headed toward the Capitol Building. P. Kellett, R. Hoeflick, R. Thompson, and R. Singleton strolled through a small park on their way to the waiting buses. How Jeff Reed’s picture turned out we'll never know, but it probably would have been better if he hadn’t had his shades. AROUND MANHATTAN ISLAND YACHT The solemn guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier impressed the seniors. Our sponsor, Mrs. Cubbage, froze with us while we awaited the sightseeing boat.

The expressions on these faces definitely seem to indicate that they thoroughly enjoyed being roped and tied at the Sadie Hawkins dance. Wut Why Cant We Spend the ® ‘ + ee a 2 It was the night of that gay occasion which took place in the cafeteria February 27 when all the Daisy Maes brought their L‘il Abners. ight UA Dover High Seniors celebrated leap year in high gear with a Sadie Howkins gambol. Garbed in patches, jeans and straw hats, the guys and gals turned the social hall into “Dogpatch”. December 12 they rose at the crack of dawn for their first one-day trip to New York City. After touring the U.N., they boarded the boat for a merry trip around Manhattan with buttoned coats, scarves, and hot chocolate fighting off the biting wind. They gazed in wonder at the towering skyline and at the Statue of Liberty, standing serene and majestic in the harbor. Radio City Music Hall entertained them with ballet, Rockettes, and the movie, “A Summer Place.” Then again on March 25, the seniors loaded into three buses and rolled toward Washington— until one bus broke down. They finally arrived in the Capital where they marveled at the beauty and distinction of rows of federal buildings, visited Lee’s Mansion, watched the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and had time left over for the Washington Air Port! Dinner at the Casino Royal, a stage show of jazz and then, dancing to the lively music of Turk Murphy climaxed a wonderful day. With the old bus repaired, it joined the others and brought the sleepy seniors safely back home. One feature of the Sadie Hawkins dance was that the girl bought her date refreshments. Here some gals loaded up for their hungry beaux.

Junior class officers began early to plan their Prom. Here in a quiet corner on the library balcony Joan Irwin (treasurer), Tyrone Baines (sec- retary), Judie Davidson (president) and Bill Scotton (vice-president) dis- cuss the kind of dance program they plan to have as mementoes. uUnwors Merde ae ings with, iZ Hele For ten years they had been waiting! At last the juniors had their rings of handsome rectangular design in Decem- ber. Giving the Prom meant money! They filled their treasury by selling blue and white shakers, sponsoring a hop after the Elkton football game and running a bake. The Junior Prom in honor of the Class of ‘60 wafted the guests to lovely Bali land of golden sunshine, where a background of terraced mountains and lush palm trees created an atmosphere of carefree delight. Queen Claire and King Wally reigned graciously throughout the gay evening. Couples often gathered about the grass-thatched hut for punch and danced the hours away “in Bali.” B. Abbott Cc. Adams V.
