SENIOR CLASS officers Judy Jackson, Treasurer; Dennis Prisk, Vice-President; Sandy Aanes, Secretary; and John Barker, President; led the Senior class of 1960 through a successful year. Class of 1960 ESCALATOR TICKETS to the second floor? Come now! Isn’t that a bit far-fetched? Neverthe- less, it’s a tried and true fact that sophomores will buy anything, and seniors are more than willing to sell it to them! Surely seniors aren’t that sneaky! Why, one would think that they would be serious and mature, looking always toward their futures. Seniors are supposed to be known for their diligent studying and the manner in which they lead the school. One visualizes them at the Senior Tea, being measured for caps and gowns, engrossed in placement exams. But, after all, seniors are human beings, too. Perhaps their odd behavior is due to their reluc- tance to leave a part of their lives behind them, for as the year ends, .one notices them lingering a little longer at their familiar meeting places as if they might not see them again. At last comes graduation, and the class of 1960 faces the world. THE SENIOR CLASS is very grateful to Mr. Alfonse, Mrs. Shekmar, and Mr. Spaulding, who are just a few of the many senior advisors who have helped the class of ’60 this year.

The End of a High School Career THE CLIMAX TO an eventful three years at Lauderdale High has come at last. Soon you will no longer be students, but alumni. It’s too late to do the things that were missed before. Standing on the threshold of a new world, you realize that now you must take your place in the community that has provided the education that will mean so much in future years. Scattered throughout this nation and, perhaps, others, the class of nineteen sixty will always be bound together by their unending Flying L spirit. HAPPY SATISFACTION seems to be the pre- dominant thought at the Senior Tea. Held at the Governor’s Club, it was the first of the long- awaited senior activities. Seniors SECOND LUNCH HOUR is seldom called by its rightful name these days. Senior lunch has replaced it at least in the mind of every senior. With a few exceptions, seniors have a lunch period all their own. Gail Mc- Donald, Kitty Page, and Marie Shinnick are enjoying a leisurely lunch. It seems that lunch hour comes in handy when Kitty needs to do some undone homework. 159
