s i: i o k $ SENlOll III STO II V As we are about to become alumni of Willkie High School, let us look back over our four years here. What will be most vivid in our memories of high school when we are no longer a part of it? We will remember when, as we first became a part of this group, we feared that its society was based upon the caste system as we took our place as inferior freshmen. But soon we discovered that we automatically gain in prestige after serving one year in this low station. And so we were elevated to the grand position of sophomores! We were priv iieged to have class officers who were President, John Snyder; Vice-President, Patty Landrum; Secretary, Patty Van-Buskirk; and Treasurer, JoAnn Sizelove. That year we really entered high school life and contributed to it. In our junior year we considered ourselves extremely important. We had three junior yell leaders, a Junior Homecoming Queen, several juniors on the Varsity basketball team, two junior majorettes; in fact, we were everywhere. Also, our Prom was one of which we could be justly proud. Our class officers were President, John Dehner; Vice-President, Cecil Deckard; Secretary. Nancy Sigler; and Treasurer, Barbara Major. Finally we were seniors. We appeared confidently on that first September day in our yellow cords; actually we kept saying to ourselves, “This can’t be possible. I just don’t feel like a senior.’’ But time does not wait, so we regained our composure and carried on in the honorable post as seniors. We elected Jack Hinshaw, President; Robert Phillips. Vice-President; Barbara Major, Secretary; and Nancy Sigler, Treasurer. Now at the close of this, our last year, we look around us to see what we should remember about our high school days. There is no doubt that the school has been bettered during our stay here. When we came, there was no cafeteria, no inter communication system, no Booster Club, and no CIC trophy in our trophy case. We were partly responsible for some of these improvements and accomplishments. But greater than any of these responsibilities, we have a new one facing us. It faces not only us, but also young people everywhere. It is that of bettering the world in which we are about to become an active part. CLASS OH M E1IS Jack L.
