CLASS HI TORY - 196 As our last year of high school ends, we, the class of 1965, look back on the pre- ceding years with mixed feelings. We are again feeling the awe and fright we felt as we entered the school as freshmen. As we leave we take with us a valuable edu- cation and many priceless memories. In 1961 we encountered one of the greatest challenges of our gradually maturing lives-our freshman year at Upper Perkiomen High School. All of us began to feel the enthusiasm of participation. We sponsored our first dance, 'Teppermint Fan- tasy , in one of the winter months of our first exciting year. Our freshman class officers were: Jane Graber, president, Kurt Weiss, vice-president, Bruce Schantz, secretary g and David Eckhart, treasurer. As sophomores, we proudly wore our red and white class hats and ordered our coveted class rings. Jane Graber led the class as president, Stan Graber as vice- president, Pat Styer as secretary, and Ronald Kolb as treasurer. Our class motto, The higher the climb, the broader the view , was chosen, as were our class colors, red and white, and our class Hower, the red rose. Twilight Timeu, our sophomore dance, climaxed the year's activities. Our junior year was Hlled with numerous events-student council elections, the class play, prom committees, and the prom itself. Talented members of the class performed in the comedy, Curtain Going Up , which was produced and directed by Mrs. Raymond. January 29 was the date of our junior prom, Camelot , which was a huge success. Jane Graber again held the highest class office supported by Ronald Kolb, vice-president, Janet Ruth, secretary, and Bruce Schantz, treas- urer. Finally we reached the climax of our high school days when we entered school in September, 1964. Now we, the seniors, were looked upon as the student leaders of our educational institution. We again voted Jane Graber president of the class. The office of vice-president was filled by Dennis Hunsberger. The class secretary was Janet Ruth and the treasurer was Stan Graber. Pure as the Driven Snown or HA Working Girlls Secret , our senior class play, was presented by our energetic thespians. On May 23, 1965, we danced to the romantic refrains of the Norristown Band at our prom, Plain and Fancy . The New York Worldis Fair was selected as the site for our class trip, which was our last chance to be together as a class. On June 9, 1965 we left behind our happy school days to press onward into the more serious world of adults. 20
