seniors bid farewell to '59 is now a memory, but to the Senior Class of '59 it will always be something extra special. It was a year packed full of activities. Remember Homecoming? Racing up and down the streets in those convertibles, the huge bonfire at the park, and winning that first game. But--football season passed and winter was with us. (The nicest thing winter occasionally offered was a free day, thanks to the snow.) Winter's winds never kept the Seniors away during the Christmas Holidays and particularly when New Year s Eve rolled around. After semester finals, everyone sighed and plunged into that last lap. The Winter Formal was fun, and then came Basketball Prom night, and of course the Senior Play. The Bus Stops Here” was a big success, thanks to the help of Mrs. Selby. The cast included Barbara Tanner, Steve Huff, John Sumners. Twila Grace, Mary Helen Mertz, Judy Snyder, Larry Lintz, Ray Fairchild, Carolyn Stratton, Bob Sarna and Ruth Ann Moats. After the play the pace picked up for the Seniors. First came the Junior-Senior banquet and prom, next the Senior Carnival, The Wa-Kaw Ball and then a flurry of money making projects to insure that they made it away on the Senior Sneak. Who will dare to forget that trip? And then Graduation activities filled those final days, those neat white caps and gowns, speakers, mom and dad taking pictures like mad, and a few tears falling here and there. But as the old song goes— It's All Over Now!” Here in your '59 Wa-Kaw the staff hopes that the Seniors (and even the underclassmen) will find again that spirit that made this year so great.
