In our second year, our class progressed rapidly-c .y-under the leadership of Betty Von Holten; Rita Spl Vice-President, Mike Perino, Secretary-Treasurer Miss Wallace, sponsor. Some of our boys received recognition in athletics; we showed improvement in our studies and in music and many of the girls illustrated promising talent. ; s piajLv-- . - In our third year, we are upper classmen 1 We chose Virgil Broers, President; Alice Fenn, Vice President; Janice Smith, Secretary-Treasurer; and Mr, O'May sponsor. Then we had much to look forward to : the high school paper, the Prom which we Juniors had to work very hard to make a success, and our class play, Toby Helps Out , which was directed by Mrs, Watson. We also looked forward to one more year of school left. Now, at last we are about to end our happy school life with an enrollment of fourteen girls and ten boys. At the beginning of the year we chose our class colors of the year;- blue and white; class flower, red rose; motto, Not at the top but climbing . We also chose Alice Fenn as President; Jackie Keleher as Vice President; Betty Gustafson as Secretary-Treasurer; Mr. O'May as sponsor. Our pictures were taken November 5, announcements ordered and preparations for the annual. The class play Star Crazy was a very good success. Some of our members were in the One-Act Play also. We were very much entertained on May 14 by the Prom, given to us by the Juniors. The gym was decorated as a garden and the music was very good. So ends our four years in the Walnut Community High School so we say So Long to everybody.
