These l1o11orites have Worked dili- gently during their four years of High School, and having reached this goal, we feel that we cannot give them too much praise and applause. Each Senior's credits were totaled, then averaged With the marks received in those credits. The first ten usually make up the Honor Roll, but this year our tenth and eleventh were so close, and number twelve rated quite a lot lower, that number eleven was included on the honor Roll. We are indeed proud of these eleven students-the intellectual-elite of our Senior class. . . . to ncwe .Seniona With Albert Arklie to lead us, as Juniors We undertook the task of earning money which would enable us to present our J-Hop and also for our long dreamed of Senior trip. Our Junior play Ro- mance in a Boarding House proved to be very profitable, thanks to the fine per- formance of the cast. Our other officers this year were Elaine Scheetz, Joan Hecht, Barbara Griffeth and Ann Tompkins. At last We ,were high and mighty Seniors: Albert Arklie was again chosen President, Keith Steffee, Vice Presidentg Joan Hecht, Secretary, Barbara Purdy, Treasurerg John Stoeckle and Mary Jane Bonfiglio, Student Union Representa- tives. WVe sponsored several dances and a baked-goods sale, the proceeds of which Went toward our trip to Chicago in May. June 5th marked the close of the hap- piest and most carefree time of our lives that most of us shall ever experience. We wish to extend our appreciation to those who have so patiently guided us through the last four years.

Pep and determination to settle down to some earnest studying accompanied us, when we entered the doors of S. H. S. as Freshmen. With 155 members including five sets of twins, the Stoeckles, Fryes, Cones, Kolasas, and Krugers we had a fine start toward being one of the larg- est classes graduated from S. H. S. We chose John Fair for President, and his assistants Janet Stoeekle, Barbara Grif- feth, Janet Van Dyke, and Pat Gilbert to lead us in our Freshmen year in high school. In our Sophomore year under the newly formed advisory system, We were assigned sponsors for the rest of our high school period, namely: Mr. De Haven, Mr. Brown, Miss Stratton, Mr. Peek and Mr. Volpel, the latter being replaced by Mr. Snow in our Senior year. Under the leadership of these five sponsors and our officers Keith Steffee, Barbara Griffeth, Ann Tompkins, Joan Hecht, Dale Lutt- man, Bob Wilhelm and Mary Jane Bon- figlio, we presented our Sohpomore Prom. 'Phe theme of the dance was Maytime which was very successfully carried out.
