WARRENTON HIGH SCHOOL Warrenton, Oregon SUSAN LAMB Editor FOREWORD The sea awoke at midnight from its sleep, And round the pebbly beaches far and wide 1 heard the first wave of the rising tide Rush onward with uninterrupted sweep; A voice out of the silence of the deep, A sound mysteriously multiplied As of a cataract from the mountain’s side. Or roar of winds upon a wooded steep. So comes to us at times, from the unknown And inaccessible solitudes of being. The rushing of the sea-tides of the soul; And inspirations that we deem our own, Are some divine foreshadowing and foreseeing Of things beyond our reason or control.

Only old songs? Is that all the sea knows? Only the old strong songs? Is that all? The sea-wash repeats, repeats.

Cheryl Peggy JUNIORS Louie interprets modern dance. One more step and you II be seniors. The work seems easier and you chuckle at the underclassman antics. As juniors you have met disappoitments and have earned your long-anticipated senior year. The Homecoming celebration-bonfire, rally, parade, and the dance, Deep Purple—was your first major event of the year. Can you ever forget sweeping popcorn from the halls and your first play, Dark Mountain? And with the Junior—Senior Prom you closed the year of activities. Of course, with all the fun and work of social ac¬ tivities you didn ' t forget the all-important school work. Advisors, Mrs. Trullinger and Mr. Stamps guid¬ ed you closer to your final year at WHS. 61 Roughing it?

How many are there? These were the greetings you received at the beginning of your freshman year. But un¬ daunted by such remarks—or paper cup hats— you earned the re¬ spect of your upperclassmen during the year. You demonstrated your good judgment by electing a charming and intelligent presi¬ dent and pleased the student body by selling candy canes at Christmas time and pizza; and amused them with your unusual fashion show skit. Yes, with the guidance of advisors, Mrs. Gib¬ son and Mr. Greenlee you will be one of the best classes to grad¬ uate from WHS. PAT HENSLEY Vice-President.
