Sponsors . . . Officers... a Modest folks as we, The Class of ’63, Cannot effectively Relate biography. So from authority - Historian Toynbee We quote this history: R. H. S., chapter 63. ee Andless A. MacDonald i ig Mc “ oe? a September morn 1959 the class of 63 came of age. A band of 57 strong, wise and colorful young giants threw caution to the wind and conformity to the dogs. They plunged headlong into a battle with the forces of high school. The seniors were quick to recognize their strength. Indeed the en- tire school was awed at the charge of the exuberant freshmen class and their arsenal of potential talent. The following year these mighty titans endured a barrage of official welcome — the SOPHOMORE INITIATION. The success of their first dance, “Mistletoe Magic,” paved the way for many more successful social events. Their lovely candidate Barb Baker, ruled as Homecoming Queen. The achievements of their sophomore year were climaxed with the arrival of class rings. For the class of ’63, already the pride of the school, the junior year was a whirl of activities: clubs. athletics, open- houses, dramatics, and more openhouses. Vigorous campaigning paid off when Dan Cox and Kirk Leighton won top posts, presi dency and vice presidency, respectively, of the Student Coun- cil. The high point of the year was hosting the Junior-Senior Prom. There they waved goodbye to the outgoing seniors. Now they had reached the rank of seniors, and they had truly become giants. They had grown into leaders. and they were looked up to and respected by the younger members of their domain — Roosevelt. Their name was painted on the highest towers; their athletes were the finest: their parties the most fascinating; their minds the most refined. They marched through their senior year with the poise and confidence of a hero enjoying a ticker tape parade in New York. Grasping their diplomas they heaped praise on themselves and their sponsors, Miss Thelma McAndless and Mr. Alister MacDonald.” a .
