Class Colors SENIORS Class Flower Blue and Eold Yellow Rose Class Motto nwith the cords of the Past, we will ring the bells of the Futuren The Senior Class started off this year by electing class officers. 'Iris McCarley was elected President, and under her leadership, we had a successful Senior year. Our first special event was a party given to the Juniors on Halloween night. This party ended with a bang, some danced and others were on a jamboree. Some of us have had parts in school plays directed by Mr. Grove. These plays were very successful. We have attended school dances sponsored by Mrs. Moore as Student Body Fac- ulty Sponsor. For Easter Sunday, the Seniors went to the Grand Canyon and witnessed a Sunrise Ceremony of a religious nature. Some of the Seniors visited Flagstaff and took a peek at the San Francisco Peaks. They went around the State College campus and were shown the different buildings and grounds. At the Canyon, we stayed at the beautiful WBright- Angel Lodge.H A Then came the Senior Ditch Day which was held early in the Spring. The Seniors went off for the day and had a very en- joyable time. We were accompanied by Mr. Grove, our sponsor. The Junior-Senior Banquet was one of the high lights of our Senior Year. It was sponsored by the Juniors. The WSenior Hopn was held the same night. Friends and relatives of the Seniors and Juniors were invited, and a grand time was had. Baccalaureate Services were held in the Community Church. Reverend Penoyer presided. Then came Graduation Night--the greatest of all nights for the Senior Class. Various Seniors spoke on the program. Songs were afterwards sung. Out of eighteen graduates from the Eighth Grade, only four remain to graduate from High School. Our Freshman year was one of our best. Most of us took part in school activities. Our Sophomore and Junior years were about the same, except that activities were more advanced and there were fewer pupils in the class. Our Junior Prom was a success, as was the Junior-Senior Banquet. One of our classmates, Pete Dominguez, joined the Navy before completing his Junior year. Our Senior year was the best in McNary High School. Class Officers ' A T President Iris McCarley J Vice-Pres. Abelardo Duran , Secretary Fela Padilla Treasurer Virginia Benitez Sponsor Thomas P.
