Secretary Treasurer Sponsor - Vice President President MARGARET STEVENS - BENNY DAVIS - PEGGY MULLIN MANRID WINDER - W. E. BROWNE Class History Today as Seniors, we look back on the three years behind us with amusement and a proper degree of satisfaction. Amusement at the things we did as inexperienced freshmen and sophisticated sophomores; satisfaction at the goals we have accomplished in all these years combined. During our sophomore year we contributed promising members to the basketball team, additions to the cheering squad, and we finally reached one of our major objectives - that of publishing a handbook for the students explaining the organizations and general rules of the school. Our Junior year was highlighted by the Prom and Junior-Senior Banquet. We put a lot of hard work into preparing for these gala affairs and are positive that our banquet was the BEST EVER! Also this year we made definite contributions to the various athletic teams. We were represented on every team and the cheering squad. In the spring of our Junior year we ordered our senior rings and then settled down to study and pass our exams so we could collect those rings in the fall. After an enjoyable summer we were glad to get back and see all our friends whom we hadn ' t seen during the summer. For the next few weeks we did nothing but walk around with our hands out for everyone to see - our rings had come ! The Prom came off with a big bang and we’ve never had a better time in our lives! We are glad to have the pleasant memory of this occasion to take with us when we leave school. After weeks and weeks of gruelling practice we put on a very successful play. It was the most to say the least and we felt that everyone who saw it will agree with us. We are willing to admit that the Junior class honored us with a nice banquet and we thank them for it. The food was delicious and we are glad that so many of us were able to attend. According to custom, we were taken on a trip to Washington by Mr. Christopher. He showed us many places of interest and we only regret that we did not have more time to look at all the interesting places and sights. As the old saying goes, All good things must come to an end. Although our years in school had their dull moments, these were overshadowed by the delightful events in which we participated and now that we have reached graduation we are both sorry and glad - sorry to leave behind us the gay, as well as the bad times, and glad to have reached this great mile- stone which marks our real beginning as individuals in this world.
