SENIOR 4LA55 wsu It was a big day for us when we started to school at Tarpon High in the fall of 1956. The idea of having six different classes and teachers was a big stepfrom the schedule that we had followed in ele- mentary school. Faculty members were strangers to us but we soon became acquainted with them all. We looked up to the Seniors and could not even imagine that in six short years we would be in their place. We were given the name of Underclassmen and we were proud to be a part of Tarpon High. The next year we became more accustomed to the hustle and bustle of high school life. We an active part in all school activities and our schedule for the next four years. We felt pretty important when we out-grew the title of Underclassmen and were given the name Freshmen. Now we were allowed to attend all dances given by the school and many of us school organizations. This year's achievements scholastically and athletically would be of importance in the years to come. In our Sophomore year we all looked forward to meeting the new students coming from Palm Harbor. It didn't take us long to get acquainted and they entered readily into all school activities. We all looked anxiously toward the Prom to see who the lucky girls and boys would be who were chosen as waiters and waitresses. Our junior year was of great importance to us for it was the year that we received our class rings. The glory and splendor of the Prom was anxiously awaited by all. The juniors spent many hours pre- paring for the Prom and the theme of the Roaring Twenties was carried out well. We were quite active that year in all activities and we looked for- ward to our Senior year. When we started back to school in the fall of 1961 we felta little strange. We could no longer look up to anyone because now we were the oldest - the Seniors. Our class soon realired that we set the standard for the entire school. Our examples and attitude would act as a path for younger studengsato follow. We put alittle extra energy into the Home- coming floats, Senior Dances, Athletic events, and all school activities. This would be our last year to be a part of Tarpon High and we all enjoyed it to the fullest and the best way we knew how. We tried to keep our school on top both athletically and scholastically and our school spirit is something of which we are all proud. Our Senior year was, at times the most confusing and busiest, but by far the happiest year that we have ever known. As we look back over the years we can easily be- come lost in cherished memories - memories never to be forgotten, for we are proud to have been a part of Tarpon High!
