Senior Officers Treasurer Walker, Social Chairman Ely, President Kimball, Secretary Miller, (Absent) Vice-President Cooper. Walking across the stage toward our purple tied objective, we'll recall the thrill of our “Junior Prom;’’ Ely’s art and Sally's decorations; Albright’s literary ability; our then newly acquired rings and pins; and the wide-eyed sincerity of President Mary Ann Albert. With a hand on our diploma we'll not forget our glorious senior year; the versatility of President Kimball; the ever-ready guidance of Mrs. Van Arnam and ‘‘Deke;’’ the brains of LaCagnina and DeBanico; and the endless dues-collecting of Treasurer Walker. We'll think of Donald DeBanico, Standerd Bearer Yolanda LaCagnina, Guardian of the Flag 18

As we step up to the stage, we'll be recalling the highlights of those four memorable years. We'll re- member the success of the ‘Sophomore Spring Swing; the capability of President Dolores Ander- son; the patience of advisors Miss Rowley and Mr. Roller; and the speed of De Brine, the ‘Soph Flash.”

the basketball of Mancini, Masino, Legumsky, Baker, and Schuber; the modesty of Senior Play stars Flor- ence Becker and Mary Shoemaker; the Ohio-Wisconsin track meet of February 8th and 9th; and the Cross Country cup that is still ours. We'll remember the ill-fated “Roscoe” at the Turkey Trot; the “ballroom” dances; the anxiety of June exams; the anticipation of the Orient ban- quet; and the glamour of that night of nights—the Senior Ball. We'll remember all these things and realize, as we walk off the stage, that no other four years could give us more perfect memories than these. 19
