They helped in planning the Senior Dinner, which was held on May 28, and in organizing the Senior Breakfast on the day of graduation. The Senior Sneak took place on May 9, at the Marin Town and Country Club. Although everyone came back with a bad sunburn, all had fun. Dancing in the Dark was chosen as the theme for the Junior Prom, which featured the music of Dick Peters and his orchestra. ln return the iunior class gave the Seniors a grand send-off with a very nice Senior Ball. We all remember the last day of school as one of the happiest and yet one of the saddest days that we have ever known. It was difficult to say good-bye to our friends, classmates, and teachers, and to the St. Helena High School, where we spent so many happy days. There is no way for us to show the gratitude and appreciation we feel to- ward Mr. Passalacqua, Miss Crary, Mrs. Liate, Mrs. Jamieson, and all the other teachers who have helped us so much. All we can say is Thank you, we shall do our best to justify the faith you have had in us.
