Bob Stith, Willmakerg Helen Gaddy, prophet, Tom Kelley, giftorian Pat Purdy, historian. Prophet and Willmaker ponder over Class Day problems. Senior Mfeelk Senior Week was characterized by excitement, lots of planning, and little studying, as the senior officers stepped aside to allow the prophet, historian, willmaker, and giftorian to take over. Wednesday, June 1, marked the final day of high school for the seniors. Lockers were closed for the last time, and seniors said nostalgic farewells to their friends of four long, Wonderful years. That afternoon came the big Class Day auditorium Where seniors and confusion reigned. Pat Purdy started off with the revealing histories, and Bob Stith, as Willmaker, bequeathed senior possessions to underclassmen. Helen Gaddy foretold what the future held in store for them, and Tom Kelly presented them gifts. They received their Annuals following auditorium, and a senior coke hour was set aside for exchanging autographs. At the last senior meeting on Friday, June 3, seniors received their caps and gowns and completed H1131 plans for graduation. A more solemn note was observed on Sunday, the fifth, When Vesper Services were held for seniors and their families. Graduation day came at last, on June 6, when seniors received their diplomas. This ended their high school careers and started them on the road to college and business. T14'r'11fy-H1 ru'
