That first year Edo Vanni was chosen president, with Bill Hawke vice- president, Ray Carlson secretary, Ted Hurley treasurer, and Dick Munger Kuay representative. We won the frosh football championship, under Arthur L. Shelton as coach . . . and we gave a theater party with the sophomores . . . and then we WERE sophomores . . . As such, we were led by Edo Vanni, Bill Hawke, Virginia Butler, Kay Brennesholtz, and Virginia Dearborn . . . We gave another theater party in collaboration with the freshmen . . . and were glad that WE were the sopho- mores, this time . . . Then we were upper-classmen . . . jaunty juniors . . . conscious of our past and aware of our future . . . electing Edo Vanni, Bill Hawke, Bob Hertel, Dick Neuharth, and Betty Herbert. Betty Gibbs was in charge of a Valentine mixer given by the juniors for both upper classes. Again the juniors convened and elected Ray Carlson as president, Mary Elizabeth Shipman his understudy, Tom Papke to pen the activities, Mar- garet Dean to count the coins, and Virginia Dearborn, Kuay reporter. Now we are seniors. We have topped those three furious years of fun and frolic, and have at last had the opportunity to define vocation and give it some serious thought. All at once we realize that graduating is not only a possibility, but a probability-and we are first amused - then amazed. We drop in at the Inn for a soda with the shots . . . collect dates for dances . . . wear loud combinations of colors . . . borrow Dad's car to impress the fellahs . . . order our graduation announcements and personal cards . . . find out how to spell diploma . . . count our credits . . . visualize how we'll look in caps and gowns . . . Ray Carlson again led us as president, assisted by Tom Papke, Dick Strand, Edo Vanni, and Jack Smith. The second half of our senior year we elected Ray Carlson, Tom Papke, Helen Payne, Ted Hurley, and Virginia Dearborn. We are proud of our valedictorian, Mary Shanafelt, and our salutatorian, Joan Hetherington. For our class speakers we chose Will Parry and Whitney Bates. Then came our senior picnic-we were all together once more-and if we regretted just a little that our high school days were gone, we were to be excused . . . Through those four years which sped so quickly by, we were coached and guided by friendly Frank M. Rose, our invaluable adviser. And so . . . until we meet again... It was fun, wasn't it? -VIRGINIA DEARBORN COMMENCEMENT SPEAKERS Left to right: Will Parry Joan Hetherington Mary Shanafelt Whitney Bates
