Class History Next to prepare for was the Prom. We chose a “Wishing Well” theme and worked night and day to prepare for the big day which was May 17. Johnny Harrison's orchestra furnished the music for the dancing after the banquet. During January of our Junior year our long awaited for class rings arrived. We were very proud of them and displayed them every chance we got. Robert Wunderlich and Willard Herzog dropped out of our class during this year. This year was ended as the first two with an outing at Sparta. Seventeen honorable and worthy students were ready to enter into their Senior and last year in high school. Near the beginning of the year we placed an order for cards and announcements with a representative of Josten's. Our class colors are maroon and white and our motto is “Out of the Quiet Harbor into the Billowy Sea”. The white rose was selected for our class flower. Mr. Spieth of Centralia was given a contract to print our annual which everyone worked on constantly. We decided to give another play entitled “The Campbells are Coming” and under the excellent coaching of Mr. Walker, our class sponsor, it was quite a success. This year we lost but one pupil, Delmar Freeh. Some of us plan to go to college, while others have chosen to go to work. No matter what we endeavor, our high school education will come in mighty handy.
