Although we spent a good share of our time working, we also had many happy hours together at our parti es. In May of our Junior year, we sponsored the Junior-Senior Banquet. It was held at the New Getman Hotel. We sent out the invitations to a starlight dinner dance, and decorated the dining room with stars. After a candle-lighted dinner, we danced for a- while. Say, kids, remember the wonderful time we had afterwardsl Farewell parties will never leave our memories, especially those we held for Wilma Weldon, Fuzzy Fleming, and Betty Mack. We worked together during our Junior and senior years earn ing money for cur New York trip. We sold cokes and hot dogs at the basket Dali games, and at the Canadian Minstrel Show. Our Junior play, Stranger In the Night”, was presented in the early spring. During the summer months, we sold cokes and hot dogs on Sunday afternoons at the baseball games. Tom Auburn, the magician from Montreal entertained the townspeople at the high school on October third with his many sleight-of-hand tricks. The members of the class carried on different projects,selling writing paper, Christmas cards, clothing, and candy. On November seventh, our senior olav, ”If This Be Bliss”, was presented.
