The Top Fifteen Seniors and the Class of 1960's Last Will and Testament were the main features of the Commencement issue, the final edition of the year. The 'Spark staff not only published an excel- lent paper but also sponsored many school ac- tivities. Included in these were the Mr. and Miss Myers Park Contest, the Miss Hi-Miss Award, and the election of Daisy Mae and L'il Abner to reign at the Sadie Hawkins Dance. In February the group held a dance for the students, featuring a fashion show at inter- mission.

Wurfag Jamey' df exeelefzae, Each new Mustang staff has as its slogan, This annual will be the best one yet! When the 1959 book won three first-place awards, the 1960 staff set their sights on a repeat per- formance and began working on their book last May. After many long sessions, they decided on their theme- Moods of Myers Park. There were several innovations in this year's Mustang. The features section was included under activities and the class section. Editor Harry Shinn kept the beauty finalists a secret. Extra-curricular groups were handled in two sections-organizations, edited by Linda Willis, and clubs, edited by Tish Smith. To relieve the layout monotony in the class section, Ann Cros- son added informals to the senior pages. Sports coverage remained the same, edited by Bob Allen. Staff photographers spent untold hours taking and printing the many pictures which each editor needed. Dick Ranson and his business staff made a concerted effort to raise advertising and sub- scription revenue to meet the budget require- ments. Through promotion contests and ad sales, this group reached their quota by the end of December. Martha Hackney filled the new posi- tion of treasurer. REPRESENTATIVES MAKE annual sales soar.
