Senior CLASS From the moment of “‘standing at the portals of the opening year,’’ the Class of 1960 has been down a long corridor filled with doors, each leading closer to the one opening on to gradua- tion. The Standards Committee, of which each senior was a member, has guided the student body through all the doors of the school year corridor, keeping Salem’s standards high. Be- yond the door opening the school year was one marked ‘’Senior Day.”’ For this occasion the class of ‘60 became a hoard of beatniks, ruling over the underclassmen, teaching the classes—and the faculty—and presiding over court that night. Later in the year, after agonizing anticipation, something very special was discovered in the sugar bowls at lunch. The senior rings were a symbol that the -class had entered through the portals of the last year at Salem. The next big portal passed through was that of the Senior Bazaar, in which the class displayed its handi- work. The proceeds from this project opened a door on the class gift, presented in the spring of 1960. Preparations for Class Day occupied the seniors for the rest of the year. Much had to be done before the underclassmen were pre- pared to entertain in the dell with their antics. The highlight of the program was the presenta- tion of the seniors in pastel evening dresses. At the end of the year’s corridor was Graduation, the largest portal of all, leading to future portals of college and of life. x J
