LEFT TO RIGHT: Vonnie Jones, Treasurer; Pat Lang, President; Ted Evans, Vice-President; Adelaide Wray, Secretary, SENIOR HISTORY 1958-1959 September 4, 1948 was a beautiful day, like many others in the fall to most people, but a red-letter day to the class of 1959. Abeginning is always exciting and on September 4, the 1959 Seniors began their final year. Name cards are simple things in themselves, but ordering them late in September had a special meaning. For the first time we realized we were on the last lap of our high school race and a feeling of sadness intermingled with our joy. October was an in-between month! Football practice was in full swing and the girls had started basketball talk, but all, more or less, had settled down to the usual routine. November brought our Senior play, “MUMBO JUMBO” shown on the 21st, with its mys¬ tery, comedy, and applause. December saw diligent basketball practice, but lessons suffered due to the Christmas spirit. In January studying was hardest as a prerequisite to exams. Career-minded Seniors could be found seeking guidance from all available sources. February broke the monotony with the crowning of Martin Willett and Nancy Long as King and Queen of the Athletic Ball on February 13th. March opened with a mad scurry of preparations for the Senior Fashion Show sponsored by Click and Sons to be held on March 6th. This was really Suzanne’s baby and what a suc cess she made of it. April, the month of showers, showered the Seniors with final averages, college accep¬ tances, and graduation plans. May in its lighter vein, spelled Prom! On May 1st the Juniors sponsored one for the 1959 Seniors which will always live in their memories. This last month of school revealed a very happy, but sad, mature, but imature, group of twenty-nine. June brought graduation for the 1959 Seniors with all of its excitement, its rewards, and its feelings of a job well done. Alas it brought good bye to our schoolmates and our teachers and a full realization of how we were to miss them. The Senior history of the Class of 1959 is concrete. What the future holds still is abstract, but we can dream, and many of our dreams will come true. Your reporter, Sandy Dunton
