in review At the great Junior Dance in the boys' gym, Carol Goldberg was crowned queen of the class .... Promotions were in order in january with our principal, Mr. Wilson, topping the list be- cause of his new position as Superintendent of Elementary Schools of District 8 on the South Side .... The upper ten per cent of the jan- uary Graduating Class was honored at a spe- cial assembly .... The big night finally arrived, the Prom was here, and it fulfilled our greatest hopes .... It was one of the most beautiful ever .... The Senior luncheon Yum Yum' was terrific at the Edgewater Beach and we were inspired by Ron Herr's impressive speech. . . . Grease Paint Follies proved to be one of the Players' biggest hits and then remember the election? The Chorus put on another su- perb assembly .... The freezing winter finally passed and it began to get warmer again .... The fellows began to meet their girls and walk them home .... Remember how nice it all looked, and then the big day arrived .... The Forum was out and the alumni were back to get their copies .... The night of the Senior Prom was near and the air seemed to grow more and more balmy .... Finally graduation came and went and as we look back we think, Boy, that was a great year! 7 xg, ,R Q X ,A
