First of all, they found themselves the crowning glory of the school, a class for all to look up to. The whirlpool took its first turn when they found themselves in the midst of junior-Senior Parents' night on November 8. On this eve- ning the parents of the juniors and seniors came to visit the teachers to see how dear Johnny or dear Mary were doing in their studies. Next the whirlpool took a more enjoyable turn, for the seniors pre- sented their annual Senior Mixer, which consisted of a night of square dancing, ping pong, and refreshments. At this event they sponsored a drive for used clothes to send to the children in the needy countries of Europe. Chosen to be chairmen of committees for the mixer given this year on December 9 were Mary Schwartz, Earl Jones, Roberta Farrow, Ralph Wahlberg, Jeanette Habecker and Ted Miller. After the entire senior class had voted, Imogene Lindberg was chosen to receive the annual DAR Good Citizenship award. The organ- ization presents this citation to an outstanding senior girl each year. Soon the seniors tried out for the senior play. A Norwegian play, I Remember Mama, was presented on May 12 and 13. Arlene Young, Clarence Freburg, Kathleen Johnson, Gladys Feldeen, Carolyn Wallin, Lewis Allbee, Dick Loy, Jeanne Stang, Nancy johnson, Shirley Smith, Roger Harmon, Wayne johnson, Imogene Lindberg, Elaine Garman, Virginia Anderson, Roger Carlson, Lois Doxey, Grace Nappi, Mahlon Burbank, and Charles Carter had roles in the play. As the end of first semester approached, some students were still in the dark about their next semester subjects. For advice they turned to their friendly, helpful senior adviser, Miss Hazel Koch who willingly offered suggestions.
