Strengthened by long hours of preparation and study and filled with happy memories of high school days, they turn their eager young faces toward the years ahead. These seniors are the same students who as sophomores went up the Jim 11 stairs, fearfully waited for their first exams, and marvelled at the ability of upperclassmen to arrive at the right class at the right time. Nvhen final report cards came out, the sophomores proudly assumed their titles of juniors. Now was a time of anticipation: the Junior-Senior Prom, the symbolic class rings, the Junior class play. Now was a time of some serious reflections on the future and possible voca- tions. Then the junior year is over, and they are finally seniors. So begins a memorable year made more precious by the intruding thought that soon these carefree days will end. The Senior class play, Superlatives, May Queen, ROTC sponsors and ofli- cers-the list of important events goes on and on. That treasured walk up the senior steps, the feel- ing of pride when they take their places in Brog- den Hall: the memories of that last year will fill many a reminiscent evening. Too soon, the senior year draws to a close, and final cap and gown measurements mark those last days. Finally the night arrives: the wait in line, the Baccalaureate, the diplomas: and the star shines at its brightest. XVhat do the five points of the star represent? Together they are a student with each point Al vital part of .1 happy existence. Each is in its brilliance a quality to be desired and cherished. The first must be integrity, a guidepost against the dimness of temptations that plague one in the modern world. The second symbolizes knowledge, a steady and reliable friend always ready to point the way to what is right. The third point is friendship-friendship to carry one through the darkest days: the fourth, humility, is to keep one free from conceit. And the fifth is perserverance, the ability to try and try again until success is achieved. XY'ith the sunshine and shadows of their high school days behind them, the seniors go to estab- lish their places in life.

H ovegy fo looL al' . . . XVhen the curtain has lifted and the radiant face of this year's May Queen has come to light, it can be seen that Frances Le Neave, a striking blond, reigns as New Han0ver's Queen of the May. Although this is her debut in the May Court, her charming manner and pretty countenance helped win her a place in the Valentine Court dur- ing her sophomore year. This was only the begin- ning of Frances's many honors. In her junior year she was selected to serve as a social marshal. Her gracious smile and friendly personality has en- abled her during her senior year to win the covet- ed titles of Varsity Sweetheart, Battalion Sponsor of the ROTC, and Senior Superlative Best Look- ing , before she was chosen May Queen by the student body. The May Court of 1960 has a beau- tiful and gracious sovereign. egDekgAflfnl fo Arrow. n As the Maid of Honor of 1960 is presented, the attention focuses on a charming brunette, Rose Potter. No newcomer to the May Court, this pret- ty lass has graciously served in the Court during her sophomore and junior years. Rose, having served as homeroom chairman and in the student government and now working in two secretarial capacities-secretary of the FBLA and the Senior Class-does not lack for activities to keep her busy. This dark-haired lovely is well-known around school, for her ever-ready smile and winning per- sonality have won her many friends. This Maid of Honor is well representative of New Hanover High.
