SENIOR ADVISORS MR. GUENGERICH MRS. CARLTON MR. PRICE SENIOR DIARY FRESHMAN YEAR: The Senior Class of 1954, starting off its first year as a member of the high school student body, was boisterously initiated by the Sophomore Class when they cleaned the Following this the Fresh had a wiener roast at Santa Rosa Park. In November the Sophs gave a party for us at Miguelito Canyon. Later on in the year the Class Assembly was held. Many members of the class con- tributed their time and effort. Class sponsors assisting the group this year were Mrs. Beavers, Mr. Belanger, and Mr. Smith. SOPHOMORE YEAR: Many new faces appeared on campus who were members of this class. Class officers were elected with Francis Beattie as President for the first semester. The Class Assem- bly was presented early in December with many acts providing excellent entertainment. The Sophomotes were very active in sports and ended a successful year by winning the inter-class track meet by a wide margin of points. JUNOR YEAR: The Junior Class, in an activity-filled year, started off by sponsoring the Football Homecoming Dance. Following this in january, the Class Assembly took place in the form of a Minstrel Show. Complete with the black-faced minstrels, interlocutor, show boat and all, the cast realized much success in their venture. In addition to an afternoon performance for the student body, an evening show was given as part of the 4-H March of Dimes Talent Show. Highlight of the year was the presentation of the junior Play in March, You Can't Take It With You. Directed by class sponsor, Mr. Ton, the play, cast, and audience alike became a much-discussed topic of conversation when, due to power failure in the city, the show went on opening night with the capable assistance of the local fire depart- ment and its power generators. That same month on March 6, the Relay Queen, Eleanor Escarzega, was crowned at the Letterman's Spring Ball. The Queen, who was then a junior, presided over the track meet activities. Closing out the year was the junior Senior Prom. The theme was Top Hat and offered an opportunity for many of us to display our talents in the art of decorations. Sponsors Miss Banick, Mr. Krause, and Mr. Ton helped to make our junior year a year to remember. SENIOR YEAR: Class officers were elected in a meeting at the beginning of the school year. jack Hodges was our first president and sponsors set for the year were Mrs. Carlton, Mr. Guengerich, and Mr. Price. We started off outlast year's activities with Denise Lundberg being crowned Home- coming Queen. Her attendant from the Senior Class was Beverly Eckert. There were many Senior boys playing their final season with varsity teams. Next came the Senior Play, Take Care Of My Little Girl . It was a comedy about college life and was well-received when it played November 19 and 20. The new school Superintendent, Dr. Lantz, offered the Seniors an idea for approval in the form of a two-week trip to be taken in May. Full of ambition the class raised nearly one thousand five hundred dollars by March 1, thanks to the boundless generosity of the local merchants and citizens of Lompoc. With the end of the year came the Junior-Senior Prom at which we were honored guests. Baccalaureate and the graduation excerise drew to a close out high school days.
