The Senior Class History Three years ago a group of 110 boys and girls came strolling into the halls of good old H.H.S. Yes, you guessed it, we were the class of '60. Out of our brilliant students we chose Jim Griner to be our president; Jerry Cox, vice-president; Cassie Dahlquist, secretary, and Kristie Kell, treasurer. Mrs. Keith Vines and Mr. William Whitehouse were selected as our class sponsors. Homecoming time came around and our sophomore class brought home honors by winning first place in the float contest. Sandy Hawthorne and Mickey McCullum took individual honors by being elected Home- coming attendants. Frank Young and Donna Fer- rell were our candidates for the Valentine Dance. All in all we had a wonderful year and oh the memories we shall never forget. Our junior year had even more exciting events in store. We elected Mike Frazier president; Wayne Carter, vice-president; Jerry Cox, secretary, and Ronnie Longest, treasurer. Our sponsors were Mrs. Malady and Mr. Jim Galloway. We had some bad luck with our Homecoming float because we only received a third, but we were very proud of our attendants Joyce Jordan and Donna Ferrell. We were delighted when all five cheerleaders were elected from our class. They were Barb Catron, Cassie Dahlquist, Janie Brockway, Kay Longfellow, and Lindy Marshall. Barb, Cassie, and Janie were re-elected for the next year. As the Valentine Dance rolled around again we selected Marilyn Harth and Melvyn Lockart as our candidates for King and Queen. Elaine Fliesser, Betty Nelson, Susie Smith, Joyce Jordan and Mike Frazier were honored by being elected to the National Honor Society. Our class was very proud to have the first American Abroad. Elaine Goss had a won- derful time in Germany. At last came the day we were the Sophisti- cated Seniors of '59-'60. We chose Ross Fetters as president; Barb Garmon, vice-president; Karen Beaver, secretary, and Kelsie Scott, treasurer. Our sponsors were Mr. Jim Galloway and Miss Helen James. The Senior class float took first place in the Homecoming parade. Barb Catron, Janie Brock- way, and Shirley Simpson were our nominees for Homecoming Queen with Barb Catron reigning as our queen. Our candidates for the Valentine dance this year were Karen Beaver and Jerry Cox and we were delighted to see them reign as King and Queen. Elected to the National Honor Society this year were Barb Catron, Cassie Dahlquist, Kristie Kell, Karen Emory, Bob Welty, Joe Hoskins, Ross Fetters and Jim Griner. Our Prom King Jim Griner and Queen Sandy Greene reigned over our Prom with their court Bob Welty and Kristie Kell, and Ken Poison and Sandy Hawthorne. We must not forget the students who served the school on the Student Council and of course not the ones who worked in and on the many wonderful plays. We, the seniors of '60, will truly miss our high school years but many memories will remain with us. It has been a long road sometimes not so easy, but the fun has out weighed the hardships. We went through our baccalaureate and commence- ment ceremonies with mixed emotions, most of us regretful and others happy to be leaving. We all walked slowly to the stage to get that wonderful piece of paper that means so much, Our Diploma. But that didn't mean the end of the 67 graduated Seniors of 1960. We were just beginning to climb the high, high ladder of success. 8
