Erma Louise Funk Ranking eleventh in the class of 1964 is Erma Funk. A warm smile, quick efficiency, a good student and a friend --perhaps the best way to describe Erma. She has that rare ability to listen, give an answer, and really mean it. She pays attention to everyone and everything. She likes people and they like her. Guy Linda Packman Vivacious Guy Linda Packman has taken over twelfth place in her class. A bundle of energy, just bubbling over, is Guy Linda. She lives life to the full -- church, choir, band, and studies. (Guy is never one to shirk a duty and never one to go about doing something in an ordinary fashion.) Grafton's loss will be Wesleyan's gain. James Henry Poling Ranking thirteenth among his classmates is James Poling. Quiet, happy, unassuming, the executive type -- that's our Jim. Someday in the New York Times we'll read of his accomplishments in science?, business? What ever field he chooses we know he'll succeed. April Lee Poling Soft-spoken April Poling possesses scholastic ability along with a willingness to work. Always cheerful with a warm greeting and friendly smile, April deserves her rank as fourteenth in the class of 1964. Dottie Lou Watts In 15th place is Dottie Lou Watts. An identical twin to Donna, she is distinguished by her classmates as the twin without the dot of identity on her eyebrow. A quiet unassuming gal, she will take her place in the world and do her share. 13

Rita Sharon Mendleson Rita Mendelson has placed seventh in her class. Here's a girl whose mind ranges over many subjects. First in fashion -- first in studies is Rita's slogan. Maybe she'll be a designer. Harvey DeBoy Thorp Hard working Harvey Thorp has taken over eighth place. A student who is very likely to succeed; (we'd be shocked if he didn't). Besides being a top student, Harvey has worked, before and after school, for four years and has become a trusted and efficient employee of a local firm. When Harvey says, May I have your attention, please?, we're sure he'll get it. Roy Edwin Knight Grafton High School's Music Man has placed ninth in his class. If it's piano, bass clarinet, organ, or just good singing you're after, Butch can provide it. He takes music lessons at W. V. U. and studies besides. Butch is one of our most versatile students. Margaret Ann Squires Donna Sue Watts Hard studying has placed Margaret Squires in tenth place. She too is one who has the determination to do much with her life. Besides her studies she is active in church. A sweet person, a good student, a nice girl --that's our Margaret. Donna Watts has also achieved tenth place. One of the twins who've graced our halls for four years. Donna's dark brown eyes sparkle and her smile glows. She's a good student and an active participant. 12

The Grafton chapter of the National Honor Society was established in 1931. Its objectives are to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, stimulate a desire to serve, promote worthy leadership, and encourage the development of character. The society is composed of fifteen per cent of the senior class and five per cent of the junior class. To be chosen as a member of the National Honor Society is a great honor to any high school student. To show worthiness of being a member it is necessary to work earnestly helping classmates to understand difficult situations or problems which may confront them. With this help each member may gain self-confidence, respect, and pride to know he has been chosen a member of this organization. 14
