SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Dear Diary: ' y Our class entered Vashon High School on September 3, l9h7. Unlike more freshmen we were not confused, bewildered or the least bit puzzled by our surroundings. We were com- pletely at ease, so much so, in fact, that the upper class- men quite resented us. But this didn't bother us in the slightest either, for we knew that while all progressive in- stitutions are resented at first, eventually they will be applauded and approved by all. I ' Pete Hallberg, our class treasurer, was one of the most spectacular figures of that year. He was famous for his jitterbugging at the mixers and even got a write-up in the Hi-Jinx! quite an accomplishment for a fresh. when we returned the next year we were sophomores, and it was our turn to greet the frosh with an initiation, and greet them we did! That year we put on an initiation which will long be remembered in the anrmls of Vashon High. Not only was it the best, but the last as well, because for some reason all initiations were ruled out after ours. However, it was just as well, for the standard we had set up was un- surpassable. , r Then we entered our Junior year, and we were off on the hectic road of life the upper classmen must follow. There was always something to dot I ! , Our first undertaking was our Junior play. Mr. Lake, our director, selected NOut of the Frying Penn for us. This story is a farce which gets more and more complicated as it goes on, but somehow ends happily for all. Before we could hardly catch our breaths after the play we had to start planning our Prom: Suddenly we were faced with a million problems- But somehow we get everything un- der control and when the big night arrived everyone came to dance to music by the Esquires under shamrocks, shillelahs, and streamers of green. Then for the first and last time we were high school seniors, the mighty, the sophisticated, and the very 'busy seniors. Once again there was a play to give, a Ball to put on, officers to be elected, games to seeg and for the first time we would live out our last year, we would elect a Queen for Homecoming, we would put out an annual, and we would gra- duate 0 New all these things have come to pass, for the class which entered as frosh in l9h7 has gone on, and its memory lies only on your pages, Dear Diary.
