Guicliizg Lights PREXY JACK XVINSTON, Veep Drucilla Stevens, Secretary Donna Eunice and Treasurer james O'Connor capably led the Senior Class through lights and shadows of their final year. Our song has ended, will the melody linger on? As a class we are no more. We are gone forever from the hill. Gone but not forgotten---we hope. As you do the things that are part of high school life, the ubooks and lessons, games and parties, we ask that you think occasionally of those who have gone before you. XWalking through the halls, feel our spirit lingering there. If you listen carefully, youll still be able to hear us in the classrooms, the lab, the library, and the gym, cheering at pep rallies and games-Cfor four years the class of '60 cheered, hoped, and prayed our team to ultimate victory?--dancing at hops, waltzing at proms. Maybe we'll best be remembered as the class who knew how to have a good time. Even as you decorate for dances, you may be able to find old pieces of crepe paper, mute reminders of the blood, sweat and tears that went into decorating for the social activities of the last few years. We were the tenth class to graduate from RCH and, as such, we had a unique kind of class spirit. We were a close-knit class, one that did things together. XVe regret we did not do more. A few souvenirs and this book are the only tangible milestones to mark our passing, but we sincerely hope that a monu- ment to our memory has been erected in the hearts of the people who mean so much to us . . . the faculty and the students of our Alma Mater. Yes, the song has ended, will the melody linger on. U -donna p. .ff IQ

Senior Daze The best days of one's life are one's high school days. Oh, how well the Class of '60 will come to realize this in future years! We will look back and remember our Freshman, Sophomore, junior and Senior days and the good times we had, the parties and dances we went to and the crazy things we did. But crazy as we were, we could be serious when the occasion demanded as at retreats, especially the Senior one and the Day of Recollection. So many events filled our Senior Year! The Get-Acquainted Party for the Frosh and Sub-Frosh, Homecoming where our head cheerleader, Helena Gillespie, reigned as queen. The newly-formed Pep Club made the Homecoming Parade the best ever. Lovely Veronica Hunter was our city representative on the Snow Queen Float in the Christmas Parade and also reigned over our Snowflake Splendor. All seven cheerleaders were Seniors this year Rnd, though We 10St at times, these peppy cheerleaders never gave up. We like to think they were the best R. C. H. ever had. The Tournament! We came home with the Boys Class B Championship. Then came the Athletic Banquet, the Class Trip to Washington, the junior-Senidr Prom with Andrea Stevens as Prom Queen. Thank you, juniors, for a memory we will long treasure. The last few days were crammed with so much. We knew every- thing was a 'llastf' With Graduation so close even small things were most precious to us. Yes, we could go on forever! But all good things must come to an end. So, we, the Senior Class of 1960, bid farewell to Roanoke Catholic High School. Will the halls of R. C. H. seem empty without us? We hope so, for a little while at least. These are the memories we will cherish, memories filled with love for our Alma Mater, Roanoke Catholic High. 're V L +El18l5
