Senior Class History As our school days end, we the Seniors cherish deeply the memories of the days gone by. Taking a backward look to the fall of '56 as we began a strange and ex- citing life in our beautiful, new school, it was indeed with mixed emotions and feelings that we met people from three other sections. To start the new year, the Senior Class was one hundred and twenty. We gailed a few; some left’us; but still our class was a good working unit. With the aid of our faculty advisors: Miss Frances Cook, Mrs. Betty Zammit, Miss Daphne Campbell and Mr. Dixon Roberts, the Senior Class quickly acclimated itself and began tackling the many decisions which had to be made. Shortly afterwards, the election of class officers was held. With President, Mervin Garrison, Secretary, Jean Tise, Treasurer, Harold Sheets, and Vice-Presidents, Gene Hoots, Judy Ellingham, Charles Parker and Rex Luck, the Senior Class moved forward under their able leadership. Our first new experience was the posing and snapping of our Senior pictures. Our memories take us back too, to College Day when we visited and talked about preparing for the future with different representatives from colleges, and caught a slight peep into a vast new world. The election of superlatives was interesting and exciting for each of us. Although only a very few had the honor of being voted a super , we all felt on top of the world. Next c ame the selection of our mascots, the annual dedication, and the choice of class colors, truly highlights of our senior year. We felt very satisfied oer our.annual went to press, and we waited impatiently for its return, bound, polished and f ih ith our work, honors and achievements.

We wish to surrender the following worn, but cherished possessions: ARTICLE | SECTION | To Mr. Simpson, upon whose shoulders has fallen the greatest load of our troubles and who has unselfishly conducted us through this first year at Southwest; we leave with all sincerity our appreciation and humble thanks for his untiring work with us.

SECTION II For their neverending patience and helpfulness, we bequeath the teachers our intelligence which we were supposed to have received, but which nevertheless re- mained in the books, from us to more mature delinquents.
