Senior Advisors MISS MARIETTA VOORHEES Our own grandma is iust the greatest, ln fact, it was she who really made us. MR. VINCENT AMENDOLA Mister Amendola, known as V. A. The senior class will be his D-Day. Senior Class Activities When the class of '54 entered St. Helena High School as freshmen, they started off with a bang. The first activity for the girls was the Girls' Jinx, and although they were scared stiff, they enioyed the initiation. Later the class put on the Freshman Return, which followed the theme, l'll Never Be Free. The class advanced a year and then put on a very successful Sophomore Hop, carrying out the theme Blue Moon beautifully. The main events of the junior year were the Junior Dinner Dance, the Junior Prom, and Senior Ball. This was the first year that the Senior Ball was put on by iuniors and that the Junior Prom was put on by the seniors. This arrangement was much better for both classes. Our senior year was one of many hectic activities and a great deal of fun. The first dance we put on was the Holly Ball on December 19. Later in the spring a group of seniors iourneyed to Napa High School for a very enioyable time at the annual Mardi Gras. Ocean Mist was the theme for the Junior Prom, which was held on April 3 and was again put on by seniors. May I2 was the great day for the Senior Sneak and everyone had fun and enioyed themselves. ln May, two plays were put on by the Senior Class under the direction of our much loved advisor and drama teacher, Miss Voor- hees. The girls put on Glee Plays the Game, and the boys presented An Affair of Dishonor. Baccalaureate services were held on June 6 at the High School Auditorium. In the morning some seniors attended Mass at the Catholic Church and enioyed a breakfast in the Social Hall after Mass. Last, but not least, came activities which were ioyful for some and sad for others, such as the Senior Breakfast, farewell speeches, com- mencement exercises, and the Senior Ball. These activities brought another year for the under- classmen to a close and ended the high school career for the Class of '54. When it comes to intelligence, our class cer- tainly had its share. The C. S. F. and Honor Roll included many seniors. All through high school the members of our class have actively participated in many sports and have made a fine showing. t We owe a great deal of thanks to our ad- visors, Miss Voorhees and Mr. Amendola, who have so generously given their time and assist. ance toward making our high school years so profitable and enioyable. Susan Talcott, '54
