Holten High School - Onion Yearbook (Danvers, MA)

Page 25 text:

1960-1961 The Holten was now approaching the final part of the journey. It seemed unbelievable that we were now Seniors. Since this was to be the busiest and most important year of our voyage, after much deliberation we chose as our officers, Robert Ililtonen, Charles DeVoe, Marsha Yetman, and Janice Sayward. Because of our seniority many of us were officers in various groups and activities on board ship. It was easy to see that this would be an extremely busy year for all. To secure financial status, we sponsored a very inspiring Jazz Concert on October 21 and a Senior Hop on November 11. Many of us took part in the Sweater Benefit too, and before we realized it, the good ship, The Holten, had sailed right into 1861. The final months of our voyage were highlighted by the Senior Prom in January, the Senior Day in April, and the class picnic in June. At last on June 15, the ship reached its destination and we, the class of 1961, held our commencement. The following evening the beautifully decorated Senior Reception was held, and with this climax, the voyage was over. Now we say our final farewells. The four years on board The Holten have ended. Now we must go on to mightier ships, rougher seas, and to more exciting adventures, but we shall never forget the four years we spent on board the good ship, The Holten. SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS FRONT ROW: Evelyn Watson, and Joyce Whipple. BACK ROW: Lawrence Duffy, and Barry Robertson. Page Twenty-one
