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.

Well, thank you, Miss Olson. Now, if you'll look over to the right a little, you II see Ken Grant, who is known as the Tommy Luke of Washington U. C., arranging lilies tor the altar while his helper, Jerry Dennon, is stealing flowers tiom the lawn to make up the bride's bouquet. ihe guests are now arriving in droves. Ah, I see Mrs. Parti Fague Biown and her young twin sons, Jerry and John, who have just arrived from lexas wnere Papa Gene is now uejigmng nying saucers tor the Air Force.

Ana here a.e the successors to the tormer Jackie Gleason show, Mr. and Mrs. Kathy Isle (alias Bob Kerwin). Vvitn them is the man who put Johnnie Kay in the musical second spot, Bing Fisher, the former Allan Benson. Allan is going to sing his latest song at this wedding, Smoke Gets In Your Lungs, by Dick Dickenson. Dick was unable to attend this wedding as he hit his head on the top of a door and received a concussion. But one of his tormer team-mates, now star forward tor the Harlem Globe Trotters, Raymond Dog Oakes, is alighting from his dark blue Cadillac.

Jean Frame, the cigarette girl at the club, was the maid of honor, and their bartender, Jon Blissett, was best man. Looking over to the left, we see two of America's greatest nuclear physicists. They are none other than James Trofitter and Leo Brown. It seems these two gentlemen are working on our country's most highly guarded secret, the H20 bomb. The strains of Lohengrin's wedding march are beginning to fill the air and the wedding is now on its way. The wedding party consists of Carol Harris Holmes, matron of honor, two bridesmaids, Deanne Painter, wearing a slinky, bright red dress, and Ida Mae Hunter, wear¬ ing a white ermine stole and off-white suit. It looks like they are being loyal to our old high school colors. Charles Johnson, the famed actor whose latest picture is On the Beachfront is the best man. Jim Betzer and Gordon Wood, the other two ushers, are on the teaching staff at our old Alma Mater. Jim is now teaching Social Economics and Gordon is teaching Home Economics. They flew from Seaside with a fellow graduate, John Riley, who is now with Crown -Zeller bach Riley, Incorporated. Incidentally, John is running for Mayor at Crown Camp.
