Senior Class History Remember that September day in 1951 which became an important mile¬ stone in our lives? The day we began our high school career as lowly, lowly freshmen in Seaside High School, and Mr. John Jandrall greeted us with cokes, and entrance exams! But it really wasn't so bad. We learned how much fun it was to be a part of a large and import¬ ant group of individuals who worked together as one powerful body. Our officers for that initial year were president, Mike Ward; vice-president, Mike Maki; secretary, Jean Frame; treas¬ urer, Pat Wools; sergeant-at-arms, Mar¬ lene Yates; and representative, Kathy Isle. Mr. Frank Walton was our advisor. Selected as Sno-Ball princess was Patti Fague Brown, escorted by Dick Stephens. A fun filled summer seemed to whiz by, and the next year we entered S.H.S. again as sophomores. Jerry Dennon was elected president, and other officers were vice-president, Marlene Yates; sec¬ retary, Claire Bonney; treasurer, James Trofitter; sergeant-at-arms, Dick Wals- born and John Riley; and representative, Jean Frame. Miss Helen H.A. Aldrich advised our class. We started an active year by sponsoring the annual Wel¬ come Frosh dance and ended it with a spring picnic. Will we ever forget that? It was SO good, we weren't allowed to have a picnic the next year at all! Must say it was worth it though . . . Judy Twineham was elected to represent the '53 sophomores at the Sno-Ball. Another summer found some of us trying vainly to divide our time between our summer jobs and soaking up some of that famed sunshine and then. Upperclassmen at last! Our junior year was run smoothly under the leadersip of Bob Kerwin, president; James Trofitter, vice-president; Judy Twineham, secre¬ tary-treasurer; and Patty Boyer, repre¬ sentative. Mr. Duane Johnson was our advisor. This was a very busy year, as we sponsored rally dances, hot dog and potato chip concessions, and an as¬ sembly which featured our junior boys challenging the faculty to a basketball game. The annual junior class play, The Inner Willy was an enjoyable and memorable event. Tropical Holiday was the theme of the junior prom, a ll, well carried out with very realistic palm trees and tropic flowers. The Royal Court was composed of Bonnie Phelps, Queen, and Patti Fague, Marlene Yates, Patty Boyer, and Barbara Harvey, Princesses. Jean Frame was Sno-Ball princess es¬ corted by Mike Ward. Another summer came and went and we had reached the top of the heap. Prestige and leadership came hand and hand with the title Senior. Mike Ward was elected president of the class of '55 and Bob Kerwin, vice- president; Evelyn Olson, secretary; JamesTrofitter, treasurer; Ken Grant, sergeant-at-arms; and Curt Sagner, re¬ presentative. Mr. Carl Nydegger was advisor. Among our senior activities were coffee and coke concessions at ball games, the sponsoring of two booths at the carnival, our school project, and rally dances. Sno-Ball princess was Verna Maine. Members of the class were in charge of the assembly programs throughout the year. The senior ball was held in April, and the theme was The Sand and the Sea. Pat Casey reined as queen and Marlene Yates and Deanne Painter were elected princesses. The last week of May and the first week of June were the busiest and most exciting of all, with Class Day, Bacca¬ laureate services and Graduation. Graduation . . . What a case of mixed emotions! We were sad and happy, and excited and scared. Mr. Jandrall, princi¬ pal, and fellow graduate, was the speaker, and in a way our first and last tie with high school life.
