SENIOR CLASS CHRONICLE It seems a long time ago, and yet not so long that we entered the high school as green little kids. My, oh, my, I remember so clearly how we used to envy the Seniors that got up and walked out of the assembly without asking anyone. After we got over the excitement of the first few days, we settled down and elected Donald Baker as our president, but because he left school, he was succeeded by Trevor Stevens. This year we spent most of our time getting used to high school life. We had a party but as about only five of the boys were able to dance, we won't go into that. Our class picnic was held at Excelsior. The roller coaster got so tame for some of the kids after the first twenty rides that it ceased to hold any thrills. When we became Sophomores, we put on the Christmas play, “Why the Chimes Rang. This year we had quite a few boys participating in sports. The year was much the same as our Freshman year except that a few more students came into their own as cut-ups. Jack Carroll was our president. Peggy McAdams was our Junior president. During this year we selected our class rings. The big event of the year was the class play, Huckleberry Finn. Our Prom on May 4 was said to be one of the best proms of recent years. It was carried out in the idea of a southern plantation and transformed our auditorium into a place of beauty. Our picnic was held at Excelsior, but because of the downpour of rain, it became an indoor affair. In about the second week of school in our Senior year, we gathered in the boys' recreation room to elect our officers. It must have been the room or something, anyway, all the officers were boys. Bill Nitke was voted president. In the month of February fireworks started as to the mode of dress to be worn at graduation exercises, and the battle continued for many weeks. We held the first vocational conference on April 29. Its success was dampened a bit by the nasty weather. The Senior class was very proud of the boys' quartet which brought honor to the school by winning first place in their division in the State Music Convention. We ended our high school career with those activities sacred to Seniors, Baccalaureate Service on June 6, Class Night on June 9, and finally our graduation on June 11. fifteen
