Seniors Honor Alumni Dancers drank thirstily and ate heartily of the refreshments provided by the senior dance food committee. Old Acquaintances will never be forgotten as long as Sandy High holds its annual Alumni Dance. Seniors officiated as hosts Thanksgiving Eve to approximately 400 guests, which included 223 alumni. Elsie Spoiler, class of '37, received the gift for being the oldest graduate attending, while John Williams, '48 from Pendleton, took the honor for coming the longest distance. Three couples coming from other distant points arrived after the gifts were awarded. They were Mr. and Mrs. Gene Kleinsham from Portland, Maine; and from Seattle Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Haley, '58, and Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Woodward, '57. Also arriving late were Mr. and Mrs. Vic Bacon, '30, who would have received the honor of oldest graduates if they had signed the guest book earlier. Taking honors for having the largest representa- tion was the class of '60 with 22 in attendance. Running a close second were graduates of '62 with 21 attending. Third place honors went to the class of '61 that contributed nine to the happy crowd. The music of Harold Webber’s Combo from Gres- ham provided tunes that made the feet twitch and the alums really demonstrate their dancing prow- ess. At times the traffic on the dance floor resembled the rush hour jam on a freeway, with a few bumps and scraps. But unlike the motorized traffic bottleneck, all incidences were accepted with gaiety and friendliness. The annual dance which was originated and per- petuated by “Pop Rannow was his last official act at S.U.H.S. He and Mrs. Edith Jemtegaard, senior advisers, acted as the welcoming commit- tee at the door. Mrs. Delores Cornelius, senior adviser, and Mr. George Potter also served as chaperones.
