Now, we were really upperclassmen when we received our junior class rings and started flashing those brilliant looking rings around. The peak of the year was reached when the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom was given. With all the decoration and planning the big date finally arrived on April 28, with the theme Hawaiian Harbor. The Banas Brothers was the orchestra chosen to play for this big event. The days following soon flew and we were ready for another vacation. Coming back our last year we were saddened by the absence of Anita Hansen. C1353 officers elected were: President, Marilyn Ulbrichg Vice President, Tom Perkins: Secretary, Bette Lou Gaddog and Treasurer, Karl Lutz. Student Council members elected were: Tom Perkins, Bette Lou Gaddo, Karl Lutz, Marilyn Ulbrich, Richard Holm, Mary Lou Bally, and Norman Sauerwein. Mr. Black and Mr. Wilhelm were our class sponsors for our last year. In our senior year the tables turned and it was our turn to initiate the poor little, helpless freshies. Everyone was scared bu! in the end it turned out to be a lot of fun. This being our last year we had to put out the Annual. First we had to choose the Annual staff who were: Mary Lou Compasso, Elaine Hakey, Mary Lou Bally, Noreen Ferrari, Bette Lou Gaddo, Marilyn Ulbrich, Betty Wren, Rich- ard Wilson, Wanda Reader and Nadine Burklow. After that we all put our heads togeth- er and started to gather the material needed for it. Our next high light was the senior pictures. The senior girls were seen running around with mirrors in one hand and comb in the other, while the boys were itching their neck from their white shirts and tie. After the pictures were taken we sat back to relax and wait for the outcome. We then started to plan for the senior play, under the direction of Miss Fox. On May 3rd, we were honored at the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom given by the juniors. Right after graduation we plan to take a trip. We sold Christmas cards and magazines, had bake sales, skating parties, paper drives and other such activities to raise money for this expense. We plan to go to Washington, D. C. and maybe New York, but this is yet to foresee. At last our goal was reached as our school years together were reviewed Class Day on May 16. We became serious on the night of the 25th for Baccalaureate as the ad- dress was given. We accepted our diplomas on May 28 and had finally closed our school days and reached our goal. ,And Sa Goodbye
