SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS: Vice-President - Ann Styer, Treasurer - Curtis Kistler, President - William Cleaver, Secretary - Betty Lou Gehman. thi? .JL . v - Y v'l ,,-,- Senior Class History As we the class of i964 approach the end of our high school years, our preparation for assuming our rightful places in society can be likened to the efforts of a play cast rehearsing for their final production. In our freshman year we made initial tryouts for individual roles, we selected irlifferent curricula and thus determined the parts we would play on the stage of the uture. As sophomores we began the actual work of preparing our parts with more inten- sive study and keener competition. First on the agenda of the school year was the election of officers as follows: William Cleaver, President, Curtis Kistler, Vice-President, Suzanne Lechner, Secretary, and Jay Mastin, Treasurer. Class hats, emblems, and colors - royal blue and white - were selected. Most of us will remember with fondness the sophomore hop, Oldies but Goodies. Work on the production progressed rapidly in the iunior year with the realization that the future was fast evolving into the present. Again William, Cleaver presided as President with Curtis Kistler, Suzanne Lechner, and Ardythe Hersh filling the re- maining posts. The iunior play, Fair Exchange, gave many of us an opportunity to test our acting abilities. The year l963 marked the first year of U.P.'s participation in a foreign exchange program, we received two students from abroad and sent one of our own classmates to Costa Rica. The year's climax for all of us was probably the iunior prom, Soir a Paris, held January twenty-sixth. Our senior year marked the dress rehearsal and final efforts towards the success of the play. The following officers were chosen as class leaders: William Cleaver, Ann Styer, Betty Lou Gehman, and Curtis Kistler. Once again U.P. played host to an exchange stuclent, who soon became well-known and liked by classmates. The concerted efforts of all committees made the senior prom, Fantasia, a delightful experience and a fond remembrance, while the thespian talents of the class were again displayed, this time in a drama, The Night of January Sixteenth. The class trip to New York's World's Fair climaxed a full and hectic year. And now rehearsals are completed, places are taken, and the stage is set. We are ready for our debut. --'lxl' All! vi'-' i ,li if , ' , E 4' ,,-if rxzzn L Hr' ke - Y fi,
