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. By - ELAINE JACOBS and DELORIS HUTCHISON

CLASS PROPHECY of 1963 At the International Space Supper, Richard Hickox, a specialist on space matters, gave his speech pertaining to Race for Space. There was much discussion on the subject of taking a trip to the moon. Ronnie Griffin, being a master at building rockets, and Winton Stevens and Robert Melton, falling close behind in aircrafts, combined their mechanical know-how to construct a huge, moon-rocket, by the name of Red Streak. Upon completion, Donald Hale and Jimmy Hrooks, two experts on painting, painted the rocket red-and-white, remaining loyal to Hoboken High. At last the ship was completed. Mr. Eugene Wiley and Mr. Jack Moore, being janitors for the trip, arrived first to be sure that everything was neat and in order. Joan Dennett, stewardess of the moon-rocket, arrived to keep down the confusion of the seating arrangement, but when Elaine Jacobs arrived with her two sets of twins, Joan decided to leave the seating arrangement up to each individual. Wayne Griffin didn’t feel at ease enough to take the trip until he had expressed his grati- tude to Rosslyn Herrin, his defense attorney, for proving him innocent of first degree murder. He also commended Caroll Walker, Deloris Hutchison, and Wanda Carter for being accurate Secre- taries of the Court. Dewayne Thomas and Phillip Dowling were helpers to the chefs, and Jerry Fowler had killed a six-point deer to aid in the planning of the menu. The Big Three, consisting of Dennis Woods, Truman McClain, and Ronnie Hurst, decided to take their lunches with them, as they had presampled the chefs’ cooking. Tony Griffin and Peggy Griffin arrived immediately before blast-off, due to Tony’s hot-rod driving. Blast-off occured on Julember 52, 2025. On Julember 55, 2025, Sammy Jones and Shirley Jones decided to make history by having a moon-rocket wedding. Sara Dryden was maid of honor while Wiley Carter acted as best man. After the ceremony was over, they informed the bride and groom that they were in the wedding only to get their names in history, too. Pete Milton, pilot of the Red Streak, fell asleep when he grew tired working the con- trols. Jimmy Monk, assistant pilot, didn’t realize the pilot was asleep, as he is a very good fake. After monkeying with the controls, he decided to leave them alone, because he hadn’t reviewed as he had planned. The pilot’s little three year-old daughter, Dorothy Milton, started crying tor her daddy and went to him. Upon realizing he was asleep, she finally did what she had wanted to do all during the trip — play with the controls.
