Seniors The years flew by as the Freshmen of '64 be- came Seniors of 1968. As Sophomores, we were the first to enter into the new Senior High and success- fully complete the three year team. From underclassmen to Juniors, the class picked out their class rings. Later in the year the Junior-Senior Prom was planned with The Roar- ing 20's as its theme. It was an event-filled year as Seniors made all-important decisions on graduation announce- ments, caps, gowns, flower, colors, and motto. Class keys were also ordered and received later in the year. The Juniors provided a beautiful prom Eve- ning In Paris. This event was treasured by all Seniors, being the last of the dances they would attend. With the support of Mr. Slattery, the Senior class installed a new student council. Letters of inquiry were sent to surrounding schools as to the establishment of their student council. A constitu- tion was drawn up by the Seniors. The student body ratified the constitution unanimously and elections were held two weeks later. School Board member, Mrs. Mary Lou Wilkins, presents diploma to her daughter, Linda.
