GlcuU ottiAtosuf. As the first year of high school ended, our freshman class had a total of fifty-nine students. We were very well represented in Glee Club that year. Several girls were on the tumbling team, the volleyball team and also the speedball and basketball teams. The boys of our freshman class were greatly interested in basketball. Our Junior High Team came through in second place in the Snohomish County B-League. Class officers for the year were-Pres. Harry Chick; Vice Pres. Don Stribling; Sec. Sara Yonlik and Student Coun- cil Representative, Mary Ellen Hallam. We started our second year in high school with fifty eight students, but by the end of the year this number had dwindled to fifty-three. As usual, at our first class meeting we elected class officers. Pres., Harry Chick; Vice Pres.,James Larsen; Sec- retary, Wayne Rodland; Treas., Connie Johnson and Student Council Representative, Rex Taylor. We were big hearted and we wanted to uphold tradition, so we gave the freshmen a light initiation. Audrey Nichols, Rex Taylor, Joanne Quarnstrom, Don Pardee, Joyce Lundberg, Charles Lindgren and Don Stribling-as a committee-worked hard to promote this party, which everyone enjoyed. Our next project was to put on an assembly for the stu- dent body. Three short plays were given - Shave and a Perm- anent, Pyramus and Thisbe, and Slightly Exaggerated. Joanne Quarnstrom gave a monologue entitled His First Date, and Don Pardee ended the program with his rendition of The Cremation of Sam McGee. Next in the chain of events was a dance we sponsored, called The Turkey Hop, to raise funds for our Junior Prom. Two members of our class-Harry Chick, tackle, and Wayne Rodland, guard, won their letters in football. During the year, six sophomore girls earned their let- ter in athletics and were initiated into the Letter-Girls' Vi-Queen organization. As there were only fourteen Let- ter-girls in high school we felt quite proud that six of them were from our class. On the scholastic side of the picture, we had ten mem- bers who were in the Torch Honor Society. When we were juniors, our class was composed of forty- three students, and of these we had ten members in the Torch Honor Society-four Lettermen and ten Letter-Girls. During our junior year we provided much entertainment for the student body, including a Halloween Barn Dance, which was a huge success and our junior program which included a play called Ghost by Request ; a skit called A Jazz Wed- ding ; two songs by Don Stribling, and a Spanish Dance by Geana Landert. To raise money for our Junior Prom we sold candy bars at athletic games.

GIgAA tJfiltosuf. Our Junior Prom, which was given April 22, was built around the theme, Walt Disney Fantasy. The General Chair man was Harry Chick, and our advisor was Mr. Branner. The success of our prom was due, largely to Mr. Branner s help- ful assistance. Class officers were-Pres, Charles Lindgren; Vice Pres, Rex Taylor; Sec. Don Stribling; Trees., James Larsen; Stu- dent Council Representative, Betty Brown, and the advisor was Mr. Branner. We have finally reached our goal. At long last, we are seniors. At the beginning of our senior year we num- bered forty-four. Senior class officers were-Pres., Rex Taylor; Vice Pres.,Orville Anderson; Sec., Margery Meyers; Treasurer, Janet Brotten; Student Council Representative, Bob Byers and the advisor was Mrs. Lundeen. The first event of our very eventful year was the apt- itude tests, given to us by Mr. Baldwin. Next came that eagerly-awaited projecfc-the Senior Play. A committee of seniors working with Mrs. Godfrey chose a play called Janu ary Thaw. The play was produced November 17th and 18th. At the coronation dance for the king and queen of foot ball, Wayne Rodland was crowned king and Janet Brotten, queen. The seniors were guests of Snohomish High School to see the stage production of William Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew. With the ever present need for funds to support the annual, Connie Johnson and Mary Brodie conceived the idea of having a carnival, or as it was later named, the Senior Skylark. This was put on with enthusiasm by the class and was a great success. Over 250 people attended on the very stormy night of March 17 and $187.00 was realized for the senior treasury. The Skylark was made up of Bingo Games, Trip Around the World and a Kissing Booth. Hot dogs, cof- fee, home made candy and pop were sold. On March 28, we were guests of the Everett Junior College for a college conference. April 5, the seniors put on an assembly for the stu- dent body, presenting a play entitled Shock of His Life. Our last week in school was a thrilling one with the Senior Banquet, Senior Picnic, Baccalaureate and on Thurs- day, June 1st, Commencement, so long awaited.
