JUNIOR YEAR In the Spring, cheerleaders were again chosen, and Derna Grenga and C arolyn Ferreira became co-cap- tains. Nancy Burrough was selected as a regular, while Betsy McGilvray automatically assumed that position. Sandy Morris and Judy Conley were chosen as alter- nates. The last activity which we, as Juniors, sponsored was the annual Junior-Senior Prom. Its theme was “Ver- vain,” and it was probably the most beautifully dec- orated dance ever held in Lawrence High. Fresh flowers covering the gym realistically depicted a gar- den. In the center were two ponds joined by a bridge and surrounded by lovely floral arrangements. In one corner was an old fashioned well draped with flowers; in another, a fountain. We worked like slaves to get everything perfect and were justifiably proud of the spectacular results. Cindy Moss was chosen to reign over the unforgettable affair which culminated our Junior social activities. 28

Suddenly We Were Juniors Our Junior Year started out profitably when we put on a successful candy sale through which we raised a large amount of money. The annual Snow- ball was the next event which we sponsored. The formal was held in the Marshall Gymnasium, beau- tifully decorated in blue and silver. The theme of the dance was “Palais de Glace,” and Nancy Pease was chosen Queen. Her court consisted of Beth Fling, Sandy Morris, Lois Smith, and Mauralee Williams. Our next money-making project was the selling of decals which sported the Clipper ship emblem. Unfortunately, this plan was not too successful ; five thousand were ordered, and we had a difficult time trying to get rid of them. Early in the year, President Brad Moses made an innovation in class government by initiating the the practice of having a cabinet. One person was chosen from each homeroom to assist in collecting money, distributing tickets, and planning social functions. These people, who considerably relieved the burden placed on the class officers, were Dick Broadbent, Ann Gifford, John Knispel, Judy Par- ker, Bob Robbins, and John Winslow. Paul Olenick served as Vice President that year, and Beth Fling was Secretary. Diane Smith re- newed her post of Treasurer, while Derna Grenga and John Martin were Social Chairmen. Lee Bur- well had moved up to the Vice Presidency of the Student Council. Judy Conley and Bob Robbins served as Representatives, and Ed Mello, re-elected to another two-year term, continued as Senator. 27
