The year will leave its pleasant memories and its regrets. On the brighter side will be the Homecoming in which their float won first prize, the dance following the game at which Ellen reigned, the semi-formal Christmas dance, the Junior Prom and the Senior Class Play. The year ended with a trip to New York City with forty-five seniors boarding the bus in front of the school and Mr. and Mrs. Packard accompanying the class.

Whether you were a junior, senior, or sophomore, the annual Christmas dance, sponsored by the Junior Class was considered a huge success. Here Leonard Ford and his date, Phyllis Huffman and Jim Clothier and his date Sue Scrimger are enjoying the music and the lovely decorated gym. THE JUNIOR PROM OF 1962 The theme of the Junior Prom of '62 was Some Enchanted Evening. The gymnasium was beauti- fully decorated as a Tahitian island, complete with palms and a grass hut for the orchestra. Potter's Band were the occupants of the hut. It was a memorable evening for everyone. In the foreground of the picture is Mr. and Mrs. Vincent enjoying themselves to the Hawaiian music.
