vice-president: Ruth Hoagland, secretary: and Mae Cade, treasurer. These officers along with a group of students planned the long awaited and long remembered lunior Prom. In our 4B semester when we officially became seniors we ioined whole heartedly m the senior activities We elected for that semester Harold Hunt as president Dons Colby vice president Dolores Koehler secretary and Phil Nelson treasurer Of course we went to all the foot ball games to watch Iohn Neumann Iohn Twomey Ioe Aquado Ken Tilman Bob Carl sten Andy Buhelos and Sheldon Carroll carry the ball over the goal to help our team win those thrilling games We crowded to the basketball games where B111 Pranger Paul ODea lim Foster Al Armour Warren Weaver Howard Schick and Bill Moser piled up the points to keep up our teams reputation Ruth Hoagland became photo editor and Norma Piper literary editor of the Pme In February the officers climaxed their terms by arranging a 4B class dance at the Hayes Hotel When we at last claimed the t1tle of graduating seniors our election was quite an event Should woman or should woman not be president? the question of the day was very definitely answered when Ioan Spratt overcame her opponents to become the first girl president of a 4A class In that same election Bill Moser became the new vice president Millicent Linkrs the secretary and Richard Wood the treasurer Eleanor Asp was elected president of the ed1tor1nch1ef of the Press assisted by news editors Ruth Hoagland and Charlotte Thomas copy readers Violet Andrew and Donna Sneath feature editors Barbara Faus and Ioan Spratt scholastic editor Norma Piper make up editor Marilyn Eggersman and reporter Iamce Ihne Dolores Koehler and Doris Colby were elected officers of the A Cappella and Dolores Kim mey became president of the Glee Club Such things as campus leaders senior com mlttees and prom dates suddenly took on a new interest as graduation drew near Prac tlcally every day new officers were chosen for some organization: for instance, Iohn Twomey was elected president of the Senior Honor Society with Florence Nordstrom, vice-presi- dent: Diann Carlson, secretary: and William Wadkins treasurer Discussions about where the prom should be held and where we were going to get dates slipped into almost every conversation But that is all in the past now for the day has finally arrived when we officially take off our bobby sox and become men and women of the world But there IS no use feeling sorry or sad about leaving after all you cant stay in school all of your life Today Parker High officially closes its doors upon us not neces sarily because it wants to get rid of us but because there are new seniors to fill our so recently emptied saddle shoes new juniors new sophomores and new freshies starting just as we started four short years ago So with the knowledge we have gained the fun we have experienced and the friends with whom we shared all this we turn our backs upon Parker High School and face the world and its chal lenges 1111, sbsgyf 3 1, fx VYSPIQ 2 s'C'i.-'LL .1131- -7'111' :l if im: ll?
