As seniors we can look back on these high school years and reminisce. There are so many memories. They began .............. .....1961 - fall - as a new bunch of green freshmen, seventy-two strong, entered the golden doors of T. T. H. S. Seniors, this was us. The freshman year proved to be filled with new experiences. At homecoming we surprised probably the entire gathering by winning first place in the float contest. Our officers for the year were Dave Doden, pres. ; Wes Wilkinson, V. pres.; Martha Macy, sec. treas. ; Janet Cinnamon, reporter; Jim Rennick and Jackie Miller, student council representatives. The year passed quickly as we took our place in the high school events, enjoying all that we could. Soon we found ourselves sophomores. Another great year! We were no longer the youngest in school. Although not on top of the winners list, we were happy to receive third place in the homecoming float contest. Basketball games became a means of moneymaking. We were in charge of the coat check, a fairly profitable business. Secretary-treasurer Mary Wright was trying desperately to collect class dues--for both freshman and sophomore years in some cases. We had no change in presidency, Mike Gallagher for vice president, Linda Durbin as reporter, with the same two for student council. Another year was closing. Now we see ourselves with a new title........juniors. The long anticipated year had arrived. This would be a busy hectic one; however, there were many wonderful moments sandwiched between the working hours. By way of a bit of inventive genius on the part of some of us, we were named first prize winners for our homecoming float. This year we made our millions with the basketball concessions, door-to-door candy sales, and our class play. Dave Doden continued as president, Nancy Webster took the role of vice-president, Priscilla lies became secretary-treasurer, Linda Durbin served again as reporter, while Barb Pyle and Jackie Miller were student council representatives. After a series of committee meetings and many study halls spent making flowers the big night came for Under the Magnolias. However, the following Monday morning there were some worn out seniors roaming the halls. We hated to see this year leave us; yet we could not stop time. This senior year has been the greatest. Everything we do seems to have special significance because it’s the last time we'll do it. Homecoming king and queen were Barb Pyle and Charlie Jackson. We were victorious for the third year in the float contest taking first place. Together we worked hard on the class play; we also made money with the football concession stands. Another class project was our light bulb sale with all the profits going to our newly organized AFS Chapter. We were proudly honored guests at the lovely junior prom which they gave for us. We will always remember this occasion for years to come. We also enjoyed the trip that our class of 69 souls took to Chicago. There have been many other remembrances from these four years. Let's hope we can recall the good times as we look back in later years. At least we can say we made it without any fatalities from semester tests. The top ten, scholastically speaking, are Nancy Streitmatter, Dave Doden, Charlie Jackson, Mary Wright, Carolyn Aman, Ruth Nicholson, Jackie Miller, Jim Rennick, Nancy Webster, and Trudie Talbert. Our class colors were lavender and white, our flower was orchid, and our motto was We thank our sponsors, Mr. Vicini and Mr. Treash, as well as the rest of the faculty for the help they have given us throughout these four years. To the freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors of next year we wish the best of luck. Now we must leave with our last departing words being GOOD-BYE. 1 1
