The seniors of IEM8, while writing later pages of our class history, look back into the chapters filled with fun and learning at S.H.S. Beginning our high school days as sophomores, we elected Herb Baxe to lead us as he had done dur- ing our freslnnan year. In the fall we presented the popular Barn Dance tolo in the hay-strewn gym. Several sophomore boys turned out for sports, many having earned letters in junior high athletics. XVith the coming of spring came our Dogpatch 'I'olo with bright plaids and crazy patches. As May drew the year to a close, we turned from gay young sophomores into jolly, and occasionally rowdy, juniors. As we resumed classes the following year, and chose .lack Murdock as president of the class, we were eager to make our mark in S.H.S. history. Our class play, a melodramatic mystery farce, Ramshackle Inn, starred Virginia Connolly and Dave Castagno. 'l'hey were both veterans of our ninth grade comedy, Big Hearted Herbert. junior boys contributed considerably to the football play that won the Central I.eague champion- ship for the Climbers that year. In December we sponsored the juniors' annual winter dance with a XfVinter Y'Vonderland setting. Heavy snows in january forced an unexpected but welcome vacation upon us, and everyone took full advantage of it to lmrl snow and have a wonderful time. Sports minded juniors came forward again in the spring to help Shelton claim the league baseball championship for the second year running. Spring also ushered in the junior Prom, with which our class honored the seniors. A whirl of gay colors in a carnival atmosphere enhanced our Mardi Gras prom. r As junior class princess for the Mason County Forest Festival, we chose blonde Viola Knudsen. A mnnber of juniors participated in the elaborate pag- eant. which was a part of the Festival. Virginia Connolly and Barbara Butler were cho- sen to represent S.H.S. leaders at the Girls' State con- vention in Bellingham. Delegates to the Boys' State E IDR Elected to lead the Senior class in their final, busy year were Bill Valley, president, Lorena Deschamps, board of control, Cherie Davidson, secretary- treasurerg and Boy Collier, viee-presi- dent. ' convention in Puyallup were Boy Collier, Vernic Schuffeunhaur, Ivan Ruff, Stan Erickson, and Mel Newman. At the end of our junior year. we proudly moved up to take our place as grand old seniors for our last term in high school. Amid the hustle of September activities we open- ed our initial senior meeting by electing Bill Valley as president for our last busy year. I'Ve gave the first dance that fall in an Autumn Serenade mood. Seniors Barbara Butler, I.orena Ileschamps and -loan Moran were elected song queens and made us proud of them at all the games. Wlhen something happened to the heating in the gym, we presented a rather chilly, but successful Candyland ball in November. Though the Climbers didn't win the football trophy this season, we were proud when Ken Cardinal was named as center on the All-State team. At the end of the hrst semester the song queens were joined in promoting pep by Dave liager, Dave Castagno and Bob Rice as a senior yell team. 'I'he pep stall' worked together to give the Flutter Fling. ammal Valentine dance. Stage veterans Myranell Jackson, Dave Castagno and Ivan Ruff took the leads in the senior play, A Girl, A Guy and a Gob. 'l'he well done comedy was the final curtain for most of the long list of 'Fhespians our class boasts. As usual we were guests of the juniors at their prom, which featured a Mother Goose background. 'I'o reign over the Fourth Annual Mason County Forest Festival, the student body elected Cherie David- son as queen and Viola Knudsen was again chosen as one of the princesses. 'l'he announcement that Vir- ginia Connolly would be valedictorian and Betty Meyer, salutatorian, was made in March. Bob Rice was elected class commencement speaker: Nyranell jackson was the faculty choice. ' 'I'hen in a rush of pictures, announcements, col- lege conferences, the picnic, baccalaureate aml at last, commencement, we ended our high school days. 'l'he class of LIS hopes that those following it will have as grand an experience as we did.
