Senior Class History The class of 62 consistently demonstrated leadership, responsibility, and spirit throughout its three years at Paly. i In 1959, our first leaders Pete Burchard, president; John Steinhart, vice president; and Margie Corbett, secretary, set us well on our way to success. The selling of Nit-Wit dolls, a new pro- duct on the student market, brought a financial boost. Athletics was not neglected, as Sopho- mores we won the S.P.A.L Championship. The next year brought more accomplishmments with the leadership of President John Stein- hart, Vice President Charles Hammer, and Secretary Ria Ruegg. The Junior Prom was a big success, and so was oyr football team, which succeeded in beating the Seniors! The Senior year was a climax in new achievements. We held our own in football by beating the Juniors and - to the suprise of all — Cubberley! This latter feat was a first in Paly history. Our Rummage Sale was a new idea and the old tradition of the Senior Ball off campus was brought back. Both events were very successful. Our classmates gave excellent performance in student government, athletics, and student body participation in activities. Through our money-raising abilities, we became the richest class in the history ot Paly, with a fund of over eight hundred dollars. Through our legislature we substantially improved our campus and facilities, and strengthened the famous Paly reputation, We have opened the way for new trends at Paly, but even more, Paly has opened the way to the future, in the lives of us — the class of ’62. 15
