Class of 60 frantically dug up the money to pay for them. During the year, we held cake sales in the cafeteria, which the students greatly enjoyed. We also sponsored another Tag Dayf, After Christmas we began working on the Prom. We had many ideas for the theme, but finally chose a Roman garden and called it Vesper in Roma Antiqua? We worked hard, and it seemed impossible that time could pass so fast. The big night arrived, and we entered a breath-taking atmosphere of Roman culture. The Starlighters provided music, and we danced against a background of Roman pillars, fountains, and beautiful flowered branches under a blue sky. We then attended post- Prom parties at Bill lVlcAfee's or Hustle Inn. What a wonderful way to end a year! 1959--Seniors. Our joumey was quickly coming to an end, and it seemed as if we would never accomplish all that we wanted to do. The year whizzed by. Our first adven- ture was the presentation of the play Meet Me in St. Louis, which was directed by Mrs. Virgilio. We attended the Coronation Ball and then sold Christmas cards with the hope of increasing our treasury. Before the holidays we ordered name cards and then began decorations for the Candy Cane Ball, which was the last dance sponsored by us. We found that our classes during the year were often disrupted by bulldozers and steam shovels which were digging the foundation for the new school right outside our windows. What a mess! This year was also a year of many memorable parties which broke up the daily routine of school. And who will forget the combo which was formed that entertained us at many of our dances. By May things were going so fast that our heads were spinning. This year it was our tum to be the guests of the juniors at the Junior-Senior Prom. We had a fabulous time, and it was an evening we'll all remember. Final exams followed, and then came Baccalureate and Class Nite. Before we could get our breaths, June 8th arrived, and we found ourselves walking down the aisle. We realized that our high school cruise had come to an end, and that we now would each go our separate way. 1960-As we leave, we would like to say a word of thanks to our teach- ers and friends who have helped us to enjoy our high school years. We greatly appreciated the patience, co-operation, and guidance we have received from them, and we know that what we have learned at Upper Dublin will aid us in future years.

Ship Log 1954-Seventh graders. When we began our cruise through school, we thought we were 1955 really big shots until we started to change classes. Oh, how big everything wemed and how lost we were at first! It was fun, though, and we made a lot of new friends. Both supporting our school,s sports program and attending the dances helped us to feel that we were a part of this school. We were very proud that we were the seventh grade that completed Upper Dublin. Eighth graders. We knew our way around by now and had no trouble getting into the swing of things. This year we were asked to elect representatives to the Junior High Student Council which had just been formed. During the year, we all looked forward to the Harrisburg trip which had been planned for us. No one will forget the visit to the State Capitol and to the Hershey factory, or the wonderful time we spent at Hershey Park. Shortly after our trip, we had final exams, and then school was out for the summer. 1956-Freshmen. As we continued on our journey, we were not surprised to find that we became busier. This year we chose the course we wished to follow for the next four years and really settled down to work. Our class advisors, Mrs. Eckles and Mr. Child, were appointed. These were the two who would help us and sponsor our activities during our remaining years at Upper Dublin. ln the spring of the year two big events occurred. The first was the presentation of our ninth grade play, that year a mystery, MHouse on Fallen Leaf Road. lt was a great success, and those who watched it were as pleased as the cast. At the close of the year we went on our trip to New York, where we toured Manhattan Island by boat in the baking sun! What a time we hadl We also enjoyed a show at Radio City Music Hall and saw the world from its tallest building. 1957-Sophomores. Full-fledged senior high students! Really it wasnt too different except that now we could participate in varsity sports and the homework seemed to get a little harder We sponsored the traditional 4'Tag Day and ended the year by ordering our class rings. 1958-Juniors. Our ship moved rapidly through our high school years Our class rings arrived shortly after school opened and we
