Senior Class History Perhaps the biggest and most enjoyable event of the year was the decorating of the school gym for the prom. On Prom evening, we received many compliments on our good work. But we must honestly say that most of the credit should go to Mr. Wright. Two days after the prom, Commencement came. There were many tears for the friends, whom we were losing, but we found ourselves realizing that we, too, would soon be leaving. So it was with this feeling of loss and antic- ipation that our Junior year ended. Summertime passed quickly and we re- turned to the halls of Morton to begin our Senior year. We regret that not all of our classmates made it back to graduate with us. The class now only had fifteen students. We wish to thank Miss Pipher and Mr. Elliott for being such fine sponsor teachers to us, and we appreciate all of their help. Being Seniors, we began to think ser- iously of the vocations that would govern our future lives. Each member of the class worked hard at everything he did. The elected class offi- cers were: Donald Buckley, Presidentg Joyce Craft, Vice-President, Frank Riggs, Secre- tary, and Daniel Beard, Treasurer. Our class play, like the Christmas play. went over successfully. We wish to express our thanks to Mr. Craig for helping us make it a success. Among the most enjoyable and out- standing events of the year were the Senior Trip, Baccalaureate, the Senior Banquet, and the Junior and Senior Prom. Saturday, May 23, brought Commence- ment. As we sat on the stage, many thoughts rushed through our minds. We remembered things that we would have done differently, if we had a chance to do them again. We remembered the many friends we had made throughout our years and how they had stood by us through our joys and sorrows. We hope that you have enjoyed reading our brief high school history. Now, from the warmth of our hearts, we wish to say thank you, one and all, and May God bless you always.
