Continental History Our years at Eagle Rock all began when we Hrst entered school in September, 1948, to be dazzled by the unfamiliarity of the school and its teachers. After just being the top ones from our respective grammar schools, the lowliness of becoming f'scrubs was much different, but we soon got used to it. These next two years passed pretty fast, and our officers we chose to lead us through the ninth grade were: Tommy Averill, President, Sharon Richards, Girls' Vice-President, Stephen Stout, Boys' Vice-President, Dixie Bailey, Secretary, Linda Willis, Girls' Treasurer, Robin Walker, Boys' Treasurer. Before we knew it, we found ourselves preparing for our next big step-Junior High Graduation, which was held at the Sylvan Theater, June 13, 1951. That night we all went to Hollywood to have dinner at the Tick Tock , and then to Boo Line's house for a party. When we returned to school the next September, we found ourselves being very active in high school activities, for we were now Sophomores, Others joined us from nearby schools, which meant a bigger class, and new friends. In the A-ll our class became quite an organized body, and we were led by our President Glenn Graham and sponsor Mr. Van Patten. This Was the semester when we chose our name, colors, song, and were awaiting anxiously Sweater Day , when we could reveal ourselves as Contincntals . Finally the summer was over, September returned, and we were ofiicially Seniors. Those ofiicers we chose to lead us through our Senior B semester were as follows: Gary Holland, President, Gail Grieve, Girls' Vice-President, Bob Kerrebrock, Boys' Vice-President, Connie Oxley, Secretary, Phyllis Barba, Girls' Treasurer, Gary Cooper, Boys' Treasurer, and Jacque Kolar, Historian. Wle were granted such privileges as the Senior Case, a column in the Eagle's Scream, and we could now legally eat our lunch out on the Senior Lawn. On Friday. October 2, 1953, we proclaimed our grandeur as f'Continentals , and displayed that beautiful monaco blue and white. Sweater Day was a day none of us will ever forget in our high school memories. VVe topped off this day by a class dinner at the Carolina Pines and a wonderful party at Dee Dingman's house following the dinner. Then came the beautiful prom we gave in honor of the Phoenicians on January 8. 1954, 'fVisions of Venice , followed by our Senior Breakfast, 'fShip Ahoy on January 13. After twenty-four girls from our class had been chosen as Rope Girls, and graduation was over, then it came at last-Your Senior Aye semester! It's funny, this is some- thing you wish for, but when it comes, you wish it wasn't here yet, because it goes so fast! In this, our last semester, we chose our final ofiicers: Don Bowman, President, Dixie Bailey, Girls' Vice-President, Robin VValker, 'Boys' Vice-President, Marilyn Moore, Secretary, Shirley Brennan. Girls' Treasurerg Cary Cooper, Boys' Treasurer, and Jacque Kolar, Historian. The first activity to start us off was our Senior Reception, given in honor of our parents, held in the auditorium on March 4, 1954, with refreshments in the cafeteria following. Also in this semester the Bank of America Award Finalists were announced Pat Magee, Jacque Kolar, Gretchen Rupp, and Carolyn Thomas. Our Pin Day finally came on April 2. This day was another one full of excite- ment, which endcd with a class party at Milt Morris' house. Ephebians chosen around this time were Bob Kerrebrock, John Power, Robin VValker, Carolyn Thomas, and Larry Allmon. Our Senior Picnic came on May 25 g the beautiful Prom, Hlnvitation to a Dream was given to us by the Polynesians on Mag 28, and our Senior Breakfast came on June 15. When 'Baccalaureate came the Sunday before graduation, it really made us realize that our days were but few in number till we would be leaving our Alma Mater. The dav of davs finally came on June 17, 1954, in the Oxy Hillside Theater. when all our efforts of learning at Eagle Rock High School were brought to a close. VVe leave now with happiness in our accomplishments, but sad to leave the things and people we loved, and who helped us in our many problems. Our sponsor, Mr, Van Patten, will especially Lang be rernembered for his help to our class. The lessons we learned here at Eagle Rock will never be forgotten.
