Sen can, iatanxf In September of 1957, we, the Class of 1961, marched into our high school career to the tune of Honeycomb,” under the supervision of the Class of 1958. Later in the year at Homecoming, we entered the float, Future Longhorns.” In the spring of 1958, the Class of 1959, escorted us to the painting of the ”B, followed by a water fight and soaked sandwiches in the Old Fort Park. In the fall we started off the year with Dale Nottingham as class president and Mr. Stensland as sponsor. We presented the float, ’’King of the Hill,” at Homecoming that fall. Our representatives of royalty as sophomores were Georgia Davison, Homecoming Queen; Lynda Bramlette, F.F.A. Sweetheart; and Anita Booth Hardy, sophomore prom princess. The highlight of our sophomore year was our last class picnic in the alfalfa field. In 1959 we began our junior year by electing Jon Meredith as class president and Mr. Lepley as class sponsor. We took first place in the Homecoming parade with the float ’’Destination Championship, and Lynda Bramlette was our Homecoming Queen candidate. Our first big production was the Junior class play, ’’Operation Ice Cube. Jon Meredith, Dale Nottingham, Lynda Bramlette and Karen Aznoe were elected to attend Boys' and Girls’ State respectively. Our fascinating prom, entitled, naturally, Fascination” was the big event of the school year with Cathy Olson as junior prom princess. At our class night, the theme of which was the Academy Awards, we presented each senior of 1960 with an oscar. At long last we reached our senior year. We elected Charles Hardy as president and Mr. Hoynes as sponsor. Again we took first place at Homecoming with our Homecoming float, ”Eat ’em Up and Karen Aznoe as Homecoming Queen. We presented our senior class play, a hillbilly farce, Headin’ for a Weddin’ in November. The highlight of the spring was the junior prom in our honor, over which Linda Kelly pre- sided as Queen and Lynda Bramlette was chosen senior princess. The next big event was class night which the juniors presented, using our motto, Sailing, Not Drifting.” We left high school after commencement on May 24th, having thoroughly enjoyed our high school career. 28

Indeed, the year was not a loss although nearly. Following their float they held a very successful Silver Sands Night Club Dance. Everyone was very busy during the rest of the year with the junior class play entitled The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis followed by the junior prom, Bali Hai and finally Class Night with a rather mixed up title Drifting, Not Sailing. 30 President Earl Cooke asks PromC ueen Linda Kelly for the next dance.
