P' SE I0ll As we began this year, we were quite con- scious of the fact that after twelve years of climbing we had finally reached the summit of the mountain -- we were seniors. We as a class remembered all the fun we had shared at football games, dances, parties, and in classes. No longer were we the downtrodden sophomores or the mediocre juniors, but the privileged seniors! The football season went as quickly as it came. Sore throats from yelling ourselves hoarse were quickly forgotten, but the vision of the glamorous homecoming queen and her beautiful court lingered on only to be dispelled Dy the realization that soon one of our well loved fall activities would come to an abrupt close. Soon we were busily engaged ordering invitations and name cards and being meas- ured for our caps and gowns. Lovely young ladies proudly circled in front of the audience at the Angebilt Skyroom leav- ing them breathless - the annual senior fash- ion show was in progress. The beautiful rriusic of the Gay Ninety Show, and the suspense of High Window, the play produced by the Thespians, also were memories which we can cherish for a lifetime. Before we knew it, Fair Week was upon us with all the usual excitement, noise, and fun, Much of our spare time and energy was put into working at the senior booth selling cold drinks and hamburgers. Dragging cases of soda pop and frying hamburgers were all part of the fun we had at the Central Florida Expo- sition. Spring arrived sooner than we wanted. The spring sports - baseball, track, golf, and swimming - each had its stars as we cheered the boys to victory. Skiing, swimming, picnics, and similar activities gave us plenty to do in the warm, sunny, spring days. Many of us came back to school with sore muscles, blis- tered backs, and other tales of what took place over the weekend. An event that everyone probably remem- bered better than any other school activity was the Junior-Senior Prom held in the beaut- ifully decorated gym. Young men and young women dressed in formal attire danced dream- ily beneath the gold and silver of the starlit llSkyAll Baccalaureate, held at the First Presbyter- ian Church, and the climactic night of gradu- ation brought a pang of regret to our hearts. As we thought of all the fun, sadness, and love we had shared, our hearts were full of the sadness of leaving. But we, as seniors, looked toward the horizon now where another peak was to be climbed - where a new world challenged us. Mrs. Mary Holbrook, Senior Class Spon- sor, assists the class officers, Barbara Fischer, vice president, Bunny Sunday, treasurer, Buz Ausley, president, and Lola Bleam, secretary, to adjust caps and gowns.
