Although we knew little of our fellow classmates, we elected Armond Spencer, President: Betty Anderson, Vice President: Joyce Wittock, Secretary: Delores Zini, Treasurer. Our big event of the year was our Freshman party, which was held at the Stambaugh Recreation Center. As the vision becomes clearer, we see ourselves starting the following year by electing our Sophomore class officers: Lee Lindstrom, President: Rose Garavet, Vice-President: Mary Ann Parrotta, Secretary-Treasurer. Off to one side of our crystal ball we see Curtis Blackwell entering our ranks. The highlight of that year was our Sophomore dancek A more promising picture is seen as we enter our Junior our crystal ball is very clear, and most of us remember it as terday. when roll was called, we discovered we had lost two Joyce Wittock and Edith Dallafior, but Frank Rae's name was The officers we elected for the year were: Terry Hughes, year. The scene in though it were yes- of our classmates, added to the roll. President: Curtis Blackwell, Vice-President: Clarice Schultz, Secretary-Treasurer. We knew at the beginning of the year that we would have to raise money, so we sold cards. The money made from this project increased our treasury sufficiently to finance our Prom. In the meantime we ordered our class rings, which, after a long-awaited arrival, created the usual disturbance in the classes. Our crystal ball almost breaks in revealing the brilliant colors of our Junior Prom. The day of our Prom was May 6, and our theme song was Maytime. The gym was decorated with a may pole in the middle and streamers going from the may pole to the sides of the gym. There were balloons hanging from the streamers, Flowers made by the class decorated the gym. The music was furnished by the Modernaires. There was entertainment and punch was served. Terr y Hughes and Betty Anderson reigned as king and queen of the Prom. Our Senior year is so vivid in our minds that we no longer need the aid of our crystal ball. The officers elected for.the year were: Ronald Sherwood, Presi- dentg Lee Lindstrom, Vice-President: Alice Miatech, Secretary: Germaine Kudlaty, Treasurer. In November a mock election was held by the Senior Class. Every student who had registered was eligible to vote. In order to raise money for our senior activities we signed a contract with the Curtis Publishing Company to sell magazines. The students were awarded prizes for their selling ability. Special recognition was given to Judie Lindeman and Dick Moline for their top sales record. Upon returning to school, after our Christmas vacation, graduation pictures were taken. After some difficulties, we finally placed our orders and received our proofs. In February we selected our class motto: UToday we follow, tomorrow we leadgn flower: Yellow roseg and colors: Blue and silver. Our diplomas are to corres- pond with the class colors. Calling cards were ordered later in the year. Our class held an election which signified' the dates of our class activities: Class day, June lg Baccalaureate, June 35 Banquet, June 53 Graduation, June 7. The culmination of our dreams has been fulfilled as we march off the field proudly holding our diplomas.
