ViCe Pf6SiClCIlf IN HIGH GEAR- Our senior high days started out bright When the Council minutes Norma did write. We realized then that we were a part Of the many school functions we took to heart. LeRoy, Boy Scout, with knowledge in quest Again won the annual World Affairs test. Ending the lessons of David LaVay, Our annual Soph Ball got under way. Our next year's president was announced as Hugh, With Bill, Dick, and Laine as the rest of the crew. Then as juniors we bartered in pairs, Campamon and Redbook were some of our wares. 'There was lots of fun at our Gridiron Glide. Our victory o'er Mound brought joy and pride. Edina and Hopkins remained as our foes, And o'er them we romped with tackles and blows. With Paula and Pat heading the slate, Pat was selected to attend Girls' State. Hammel and Smith tied for Boys' State, A flip of a coin decided their fate. The first swimming trophy for our collection Notched in our annuals a new sports section. Joan directed the troupe, and each did his bit To make Showtime Memories a tremendous hit. Cheaper by the Dozen was the name of the play We juniors presented the month before May. The juniors and seniors to the Auto Club went, Our annual Prom was the gala event. joan Ostby reigned as Orchid Queen At the tropical dance put on by Canteen. This year finals were not to be had, But nine weeks' tests proved just as bad. Get in the swim, help Hancock win! Aided joan in getting in. With report cards, annuals, and swimming in sight, The last day of school, and summer loomed bright. We started the year, seniors at last. Our summer's vacation had quickly passed. Jerry Wright took the senior president's chair, With helpers, jean, Janie, and Blair. A class in dramatics this year was begun. They studied plays, theatre, and also had fun. Old Pep Club jackets we agreed to discard, Our new ones we held in high regard. On the nineteenth of October for homecoming history joan Ostby was queen and solved the mystery. Arlene, Diane, Val, and jean Were made attendants to our queen. In sports our teams were not on top, But never did school spirit stop. The play, Excursion, we gave in November, This first all school play we'll long remember. The structure of our new building did rise, The immediate progress was a great surprise. Hail, brave friend! and I-lie thee, hither! Had seniors running around in a dither. The first of fifty-two we seniors were trading Pictures to keep our memories from fading. In january came the ACE test, When they were over, we all needed rest. Then there was nothing to do but wait, For the scores would decide our college fate. Class ratings were received by seniors all, Some college hopes rose, others did fall. The end of our high school days was near, The memories of Class Night we cherish quite dear. Baccalaureate gave us the serious phase Which we had missed in our carefree days. We gathered for breakfast the morn of the day That we were to graduate, the twenty-second of May. We all were assembled in caps and gowns, We all wore smiles, none wore frowns. After commencement we were to depart From the school we had so taken to heart.
