The Senior class of '59 will leave sadly, but sweet will he their memories. Their activities have been a fitting climax for four of the best years of their lives. Dancing to the music of Walt Tolleson's band, the Seniors had an enjoyf able evening at BalifH'ai. Earlier in the year, they presented the play, Arsenic and Old Lace. The events of the Senior Week were trips to Jones Gulch and Searsville, an evening of ice skating, and the Senior breakfast. The year was ended with the graduation exercises and grad night.

SENIGR HISTORY 'fl .5-9 fi X X 2 A With the passing of time, the echoes of our school life will grow fainter and fainter, and then die away. Gone forever will be the routine of school life, the fun we had, and the friends we made, but the memories will still be with us. Remember the beginning of our high school career? Cur Hrst big project came in the fall when we painted' garbage cans for the school. Our first money making project was a White Elephant sale. Ever since, we have been a prosperous class. In order to get acquainted we had a frosh getftogether, where we danced and played volleyball. Remember our Sophomore year? We were good at putting on social events and our dance, Stardust Swirl, was enjoyed by many people. Then came time for making money and having more fun. Our sophomore movies were Phantom of Rue Morgue and Mister Roberts. Many of our boys represented our class as SPAL Champions this year. Mostly Martha, Mostly Martha! What a skit and fun time we had at our Junior rec night. This came as a reward to the hardworkers who sold Christmas wreaths for a fund raising project. Mostly Menlo won for us the cup for the best rally in class competitions. Receiving our class rings brought us one step nearer to our eventual goal, being seniors and leaders of the school. Nobody could forget the eventful night of May 23, when we had our Junior Prom at the San Mateo Elks Club. At l'Southern Enchantment we danced to the music of Ernie Hecksher. After the Class of 1958 graduated, remember how many of us didn't feel like seniors at the beginning of the year? We still searched for someone to look up to. Then as fall progressed and it was time for the Senior Play, Arsenic and Old Lace, we realized that we really were seniors and loved every minute of it. After a disapf pointing disaster, many of our class helped to rebuild and defend our homecoming float. Then, on January 31, one of the biggest events of our high school years came. After many weeks of excitement it was Bali Ha'i, our Senior Ball. There were many parties enjoyed, before and after the dance which was held at the California Golf and Country Club. All too soon, one of the greatest nights was over. Looking for excitement on a rainy February day, the Seniors decided to overhaul the library, One of our last traditional getftogethers, a rec night, was held in March. Then all of a sudden Senior Week was here. We all went ice skating, to the beach and on a picnic. Wasn't it fun being together at our Senior Breakfast and graduation practice, while the underclassmen were slaving over the books? We were all together for the last'tirne as a class at the beautiful graduation on June 12 and the allfnight graduation party which followed. Parting farewells and good wishes were sad, for they meant an end to the happiest four years of our lives. Now we look on to a new life, whether it be at college or in business, we will always have the memories of high school . . .
