In November, after much work by two separate casts, our senior play, EVERY FAM- ILY HAS ONE, was presented. It was a tremendous success and played to a full house both nights. Another skating party was held just for the seniors and the senior vaude- ville was our second money-making project. Several of our class members were privileged to attend the University of Louisville as Carnegie Scholars after their junior year. A further scholastic honor claimed by Waggener was the announcement that fourteen ofour seniors had become National Merit Semifinalists. As the year went on everyone was filling out college application blanks and worrying about their college board scores. The general question was, Have you been accepted yet? No one will ever forget the honors brought to us by our athletes during the senior year. Our football team, only in its second year of varsity competition, was the un- official county champion. The basketball team won the Jefferson County Invitational Tournament and was recognized as the county champion. The swim team with a 7-3 record claimed second place in the State Meet, 88-86, and the track, golf, and tennis teams all did good jobs in their respective fields. As plans are made for the prom and graduation, there is a feeling of great excite- ment among the class members. But along with this there is also a strange feeling of sadness as we realize that the year we have been looking forward to for so long has gone by so fast. Just as we, the first graduating class of Waggener, have left an impression on the school, it too has left an impression on each one of us to last forever. So as we go our separate ways, let us never forget the memories which our years at Waggener High School, the best years of our lives, have given us.
