CLASS HISTORY of 1963 On September the first, 1951, we walked into the school building for the first time as stu- dents. Some of us were terrified and crying for our parents, while others were happy and eager to learn what school was all about. Our first years of school were spent learning the three R’s: reading, writing, and arith- metic. Each year offered us a new and rewarding experience. When we started changing classes in the seventh grade, we thought we were really grown up. But now as we look back we realize it was only a stepping stone to becoming Seniors. In 1958, our class was fortunate to acquire a teacher, Mr. Wiley, who has been to us a sponsor and friend. We have grown to love and respect him over the past five years. In the tenth grade we were allowed some choice of subjects, which made a more interest- ing and easier schedule. Our Junior Play, The Sky’s the Limit , and our Junior-Senior banquet were two of the highlights of our Junior year. Another was when we ordered our class rings. It was all fun, but work went along with it. On August 29, 1962 we entered the Senior Class Room as the Seniors of 63- We received our class rings on the third day. Our most remarkable activity was our Senior Play. This and other activities contributed to our bank-roll, making it possible for our class trip. We have looked forward to graduating ever since we entered school. But now as the time draws near, we look back on the memorable events of our school years and wish we could relive part of our experiences. All 34 of the Senior Class, which includes: Connie Aldridge, Joan Bennett, Jimmy Brooks, Wanda Carter, W'iley Carter, Diane Colvin, Phillip Dowling, Sara Jane Dryden, Jerry Fowler, Peggy Griffin, Ronnie Griffin, Tony Griffin, Wayne Griffin, Donald Hale, Rosslyn Herrin, Junafae Hickox, Richard Hickox, Ronnie Hurst, Deloris Hutchison, Elaine Jacobs, Sammy Jones, Shirley Jones, Faye King, Sandra Lee, Truman McClain, Robert Melton, Dorothy Milton, Pete Milton, Jimmy Monk, Ray Shumans, W'inton Stevens, Dewayne Thomas, Caroll Walker, and Dennis Woods are sad at heart to think that this will be the last year we will spend at Hoboken High School. Now we come to the close of the most wonderful years of our lives. As we come to the end we wish to express our gratitude to our teachers, who were also our leaders, friends, and at many times, our backbones; to our parents, who have steadfastly guided us; and to the underclassmen, who have stood behind us and given us encouragement when the road was rough and the way was dark and weary. We, the Seniors of 1963» go into the world to search for success and most of all happiness. May our future lives reflect in them the environment of Hoboken High School.
