SENIOR HISTORY It’s hardly believable! Why it seems like only yesterday that there were 83 “doomed” freshmen suffering the consequences of a hilarious initiation by pushing peanuts up and down the halls and carrying books for upper classmen. Those were the days when Bob Kraft, the class president, saw to it that all had loads of fun at the Freshman Party with Joyce Neff and Bob Reichanadter elected to he king and queen. Our sophomore year was one we shall always remember. What would we have done without Corinne MacLaverty to preside over us and see us through such good times as the “Sophomore Swing!” We were just getting over that proud feeling of wearing a new class ring when Ray Clements, our Junior Class president, ordered our sweaters according to our class colors, green and white. It is so easy to remember the dance on the marble floor of the Marquette Pavilion when Pat Blaze and Jim Lennertz were the Junior Prom queen and king. This year just couldn’t be over already. We’ve accomplished much this year through the efforts of our president, John Shuttleworth. The first semester was highlighted with the annual Senior Dance with music by the “Starlighters.” Our senior play, which was the comedy, “Keep Moving,” kept the audience in a laughing suspense. We celebrated our successful year by taking a trip to Washington, D. C., for one week. Is it really all over? It’s hardly believable! — 22 —
