Chosen to lead the mighty class of '60 was capable Paul Bastin, aided by Mary Ann Dorsey, Linda San Julian, and Happy Heater. The class council, composed of Norma Hurley, Judie Lamm, Sharon Sprouse, Marlin Ashcraft, Richard Farnsworth, Jim Martino, and Kenny Wilson was always on the ball to boost our officers and class advisor. Miss Upton. After October 8, all who saw us knew for certain that we were Victory seniors, for we now wore the proud emblem of our class and school—senior rings. Linda VanScoy and Joyce Wanstreet were selected as coeditors of the Optic paper and yearbook. Among the many interesting and varied assembly programs of the year was the one presented by Chris Harker. Chris relived for the students and teachers his months in Germany. Attractive Sharon Lynch was chosen by our class to reign over the homecoming festivities of October 16 afed 18. Attending Sharon as senior princesses were Brenda LauJerman and Diane Powell. Next on the senior program was a trip to Buffington Studio for the taking of our senior pictures. Directed by Mrs. Clevenger, the various student committees did an excellent job of planning and decoration for the senior Christmas Party, which was based on the theme, Frost and Fantasy. Muggsy's Merry Christmas, a play presented by a senior cast and directed by Mrs. Embry, highlighted the Christmas assembly. Taking the leading roles were Jim Martino and Kenny Wilson, with Jack Maxwell, Barbara Bennett, Jeannie O'Neil, and Happy Heater in supporting roles. We realized that graduation was actually approaching when Miss Upton summoned each of us to Room 207 for cap and gown measurements. Fifteen members of the class were inducted into the National Honor Society in an impressive candelight ceremony on January 8.

Classes were squeezed in between all our many senior activities. Our dramatic talents were exhibited again as, under the able direction of Mrs. Morgan, another entertaining senior play was presented. On May 16 at the Stonewall Jackson Hotel, we gathered for the senior banquet. The program included the presentation of honors to noteworthy seniors as well as a very inspiring address. The climax of the year's social events was a gay and carefree evening at the Waldo Hotel. Here we danced the night away as the guests of the juniors at the Junior-Senior Prom.
