Surveying The Graduates Of 1962 Class Olticers James Reed With hearts and minds toward future experiences and successes, these four outstanding Seniors have lead their class in carrying out a rich and basic segment of their life, the long-awaited year of departure from high school. Their responsi- bilities were completed well, their shortcomings and solutions resulted in a deeper realization of the necessity of a broadened attitude for adulthood.

J an. 10 During the four preceding years of school activity, the class of '62 has grasped, step by step, an education as its foundation for the fu- ture. We have gradually acquired various skills in certain extra-curricular events. Thus, our motto, Forward ever, backward never, is being successfully carried out. The graduates are look- ing to the coming years with ambition, as well as anticipation and serious concern. Under the guidance of David W. Samuel, class adviser, the seniors completed several money-making projects. The first was a fund- raising dance, the Pumpkin Prom, lfor the 1962 Portall which turned out to be a howling suc- Assembly-O. G. Fitzgerald ,.,..,.,..

The three-day trip to Washington, D. C. was the year's highlight. A seemingly unendless schedule was followed throughout the excursion, but everyone will long remember this schedule and the enjoyment that accompanied it. On graduation day, June 5, 1962, this year's senior class bids farewell to Richland with fond memories, with high hopes, and with still higher dreams.
