Senior The senior class of 1961 ' is reaching the first plateau of life — graduation from Pulas- ki High School. For five years we have wandered through these halls, becoming a more closely-knit family every day. Many of the friendships which began here will en- dure for many years to come. Our memories are precious as we recall the years that have passed so swiftly. We remember how bewildered we were when we first entered these doors and how we gradually became accustomed to this new way of life. Next came the chief joy of our freshman year, that of no longer being the youngest class in school. Our sophomore year we remember well since we began to know more people and really to participate in school activities. By the time our junior year arrived, we felt more self-confident and were thrilled with our class rings. Then came the long-awaited day when we marched down the aisle during an assembly. The full realization of our being seniors hit us as we knew that it would be our responsibility to set an example for the underclassmen to follow. Our senior year has seen a whirlwind of activities. Among our projects were selling Christmas cards and magazines, as well as Class making candles to sell. We participated in these projects so that we might fulfill the dream of a class trip. There was the excite- ment of decorating the Christmas tree; Youth Day, May Day and the Junior-Senior Prom. In the all too near future, the final highlight will come — graduation night. Then we shall feel as never before the ties that bind us together as we prepare to step out into life. We wish to thank all our teachers, who have guided us over paths of higher learn- ing and deepening character through these five years. We shall always be grateful to them for their patience and understanding. We should especially like to extend our thanks to our energetic and devoted sponsors — Mrs. Miller Bushong, Miss Suzanne David, Mrs. Harry Loftus, Mrs. A1 Mode, Mrs. Richard Quesenberry, and Mrs. J. C. Totten. We leave Pulaski High with the hope that our being here has enriched the school in some small way. We hope that those who follow us will make many worthy contribu- tions to their school in the spirit of truth, loyalty, courage, and love for one’s fellow man, which is the spirit of Pulaski High School. Senior Class Officers, Seated, Left to Right: Carole Robinson, Secre- tary; Norman Prilla- m a n, Vice - President; Gene Self, Treasurer. Standing: Carlos Cook, President. 26
