SENIOR CLASS HISTORY During the four years of our school life in Walnut High School, we have elected the following officers, listed in the order in which they held office: Presidents--Phyllis Von Holten, Jack Esmond, Carl Von Holten, Jack Esmond. Vice-Presidents--Karen Foss, Carl Von Holten, Paul Peach, Carl Von Holten. Secretary--Leona Jacobs, Karen Dalziel, Karen Foss, Bonnie Hardy. Treasurer--Phyllis Von Holten, Cecilia Plum. Representatives--Paul Peach, Tom Conley, Carl Von Holten, Jack Esmond, Jerry Lange, Ned Thompson, Phyllis Von Holten, Doug Page, Cecilia Plum, Jerry Bacorn, Bonnie Hardy. Senators--Karen Dalziel, Tom Conley, Jerry Lange. Sponsors--Mr. Vail (four years), Mrs. Yonk, Mr. Bruss, Mrs. Ewalt, Mr. Waterhouse, Mr. O'May. Our class entered high school with forty-two members, and during our second year we numbered only thirty-seven. At the beginning of our third year, we had dropped to thirty, but increased this to thirty-one in our fourth year. The class of '61 financed itself through the same channels as many classes before us: popcorn, candy and pop sales, the use of the milk machine franchise, magazine sales (in which our class set a school record), sock hops, our junior and senior prays, concessions at the Carnival, the sale of Christmas cards, and a bake sale. The money we earned was spent on our Junior Prom, the senior trip, the class gift to the school, and to finance the year book. We have been well represented in the band, choruses, football, basketball, baseball, and track teams as well as on the honor roll, the student council, and other organizations of our school. We will long remember our initiation into high school, the Junior-Senior Prom on which we worked so very hard, the nights of preparation for our junior and senior plays, the trips to music contests, the excitement of the football and basketball games, and finally, our senior trip. Yes! We are glad to graduate, and we do look forward to going out into the world and establishing a niche for ourselves, but we shall miss, and always remember, the thrill of being a student at dear old Walnut High!
