Our last paper was distributed April 22. We sent several stories into the Journalism Weekend contest with high hopes of winning several prizes. Each staff member is supposed to have Journalism I before he is allowed to write for the paper. Our staff was small, but we managed to put a paper out about once a month until our funds were exhausted. 24

ti The scene of the students' daily coffee- breek. April I—The Junior High Pep Club wanted a Spring dance and they got it but not the way they expected. As an April-fool, members of the decorating committee decided to decorate the Girls' Gym with real springs. Sr. Class spon- sored a bermuda hop at the Moose for ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. April 2—Latin banquet had John Hanks as Nero, fiddling on his guitar. Enter- tainment consisted of skits and individual performances by Osea Nelson, Jake Vigil, and Evora Williams. April 22 and 23—State Speech Festival in Laramie. All of the speech squad who went to Wheatland qualified for State and we did very well. April 26—The Orchestra and vocal groups gave their concert in the Audi- torium. The senio? ensembles sang se- lections from South Pacific , all of the ensembles sang festival numbers. The chorus sang songs divided into three groups: serious, old favorites, and pa- triotic. April 29 and 30— District Music Festival was held in Torrington. The band and chorus entered solos, and small ensem- bles. May 6 and 7—Those who qualified from district music festival in Torrington went to Casper. May 13 and 14—District track meet in Torrington. Everyone hurried back so they could make it to the last high school prom for the Class of '60. May 17—Mr. Wheeler directed his last Sr. High Band Concert and it was his best. May 22—Baccalaureate for the Seniors. Reverend McConnell gave the sermon. May 26—The Class of '60 graduated and left only five classes in the school build- ing. June 3—Another school year has passed. It has been a year of lasts for the Sen- iors, but one they will never forget, and a memorable one for the rest of the classes. Many students brought honor and recognition to the school, and the Seniors will never be able to think of it as a Junior High in the coming years as we were the last class to go to Laramie High for six years. The court of the LHS building shows part of the old building and the autographing techniques of several generations of seniors. 23 In order to get waited on first in the Washington School lunchroom, Jim Cra- ven and Ken Foreman decide to leave the shop room a little early and by a differ- ent exit.
