HISTORIA CLASSIS MCMLIX We donned our virili, or togas of manhood. as we entered high school in lO55. lmmediatelv, these voung citizens were known as we elected Walter Tomb as president and chose Jack Wylie, Jovce Palmer, a--rl Nancy Westover to assist him in his governmental duties. We decided to ask Mr. Robert Wallace to act as our advisor. For senatus, we selected Ursula Schulz, Jack Kelly, Robin Warden and Cliff Ellison. Slowly our members became a part of Roman government. Our classmates were active in Latin Club, choir, and other organizations. Our Cicero was Kathy Sanford, who represented the entire school in an oratorical contest. As we began our climb up the cursus honorum, we were now al- lowed to vote in the Circus Maximus. ln our sophomore year we select- ed these officers: Jack Kelley, Ursula Schulz, Ginny Holderbach, and Al Hemly. Senatus included Joyce Palmer, Linda Lyon, Don Borden, and Butch Tomb. Coach McGill was our advisor. This year our aediles were excellent and the entertainment was at its best. We sponsored the Shamrock Hop, which was a real success, ar-d had a picnic at the end of the year. We now entered the ranks of high-class citizens and wore togas with a narrow purple stripe. We asked Mr. Rossi to help us through the next difficult times. Our consul was Jude Nitsche and Ursula Schulz was his assistant, Ginny Holderbach was scriba and Donna Kay Dennis acted as quoestor, The Washington trip was coming and we began to prepare for it. Butch Tomb acted as Christmas Card Chairman and we netted over SlOOO. This broke all previous records and we were now allowed to join the wealthy, or equities, class.

My year in the United States is closing all too quickly now and I hate to think of leaving Painted Post and the good friends I have made here. Being able to live with one of your finest families, to go to your school and to take part in a great variety of activities in and out of school have made me feel that I have not been a guest or a stranger but one who belongs. While I have been here I have told you something of my homeland and our way of life there, similar in many ways to that which you enjoy here. We speak the same language, believe together in democratic government and we share with you many some material advantages, the measure of a high stndard of living. I have told you about our differ- ences too, our distinctly British heritage and culture, our strange and sometimes conser- vative attitudes and customs, our scenery, In jllilemutiam BRENTON BRADLY Brent National Honor Society 45 Latin Club 45 Footlights Society 4, Senior Play 45 SchooImaster's Speaking Contest 4, County Boys' Winner 45 Student Council 45 Varsity Football 45 Track 4, Choir 4, Bowl- ing 4, Tri-School Student Council 45 Junior Chom- ber of Commerce Speaking Contest 4, Winner 4. our recreation and our very different system of education, with boys and girls attending separate high schools. At the same time you have made me part of your community and I have been learning how American people really live, what they do in their work and play and I have gained some knowledge of those attitudes and con- ditions which are so often misunderstood in my own and other countries. ' You the students and people of Painted Post have made my year with vou an unfor- gettable one. Bock in New Zealand I can not think of the United States as some other country but as a second home.

Carol McChesney was the top seller in school history. Our cives were active in Footlight's Society, FTA, FHA, FNA, and GAA. Sports were still popular and we gave the plebs a good show. Cheerleaders from our class included Joan Hadlock, captain, Ursula Schulz, Ginny Holderbach, Judy Randels, Donna Janes, and Carol McChesney. Joe Strzepek and Kent Tiffany handled our liber and published an unforgettable POSTER. Kent also took command Cas did Caesarl and set out to conquer the Germoni. He made an outstanding AFS representative from our class. Joe was sent as legatus to Boy's State where he took part in the large forum. Robin Warden became Rex of the May Ball and Jeanne Stratton was his Regina. Their Clientes were Ginny Holderbach, Ursula Schulz, Judy Randels, Butch Tomb, Ralph Blencowe, and Jack Kelly. As we entered our senior year most of us were eligible to be senatores and wear a wide purple stripe. We made no changes in our leaders except that Butch Tomb was elected vice-president. Our dele- gati to the senate were Robin Warden, who became president, and Ralph Blencowe. Brenton Brodly also participated. He is our foreign student from a region farther than Gallia - New Zealand, Q
