CLASS OF ' 64 Exam time seemed to arrive all too quickly for the seniors. It was hard to realize we had less than four months of high school life left before us. The tensions which had mounted during exams found release with the rising popularity of the “Beatles,” a British quartet, whose records had been creating hysterics among the younger set for months. It seemed that Ray Chisholm was constantly con- fronted with problems — Peggy, Phyllis, Nancy, etc., while, with the coming of Spring, another of our classmates found roses to be an absorbing hobby — hey. Joe! Crossed fingers greatly increased on campus! While some were anxiously awaiting college ac- ceptances, others were trying to land a job or per- haps even a husband. Then came the Junior-Senior Prom, a sentiment- al gesture given by the Juniors, and held in a make-believe world of dreamy music and fake flowers. Recalling the plans and work of the pre- vious year we were quite content to sit back and enjoy someone else’s efforts. Our senior year had been filled with mixed emotions — hating to see the year end and longing to see what next year bolds in store. And so it ends with graduation and a sadness only half felt by the seniors. We have reached a goal — now it’s time to strive for another, to prepare to assume a place in the world and to accept the responsibili- ties of a complex society. Someday, much later, we will find this yearbook and smile with an ache at how young we looked then. And back will come the memories of that special time when life keeps changing and chang- ing, and everything, good or bad, is supercharged. 24
