Senior lass Only two years together as a class, but we made the most of it. And, though we are the smallest class, we have proven that size doesn't really matter so much. Studies, honors, sports, dances, and parties kept us busy this year, not to mention all the ac- tivities and clubs in which we participated. In the matter of study, there will always be fixed in our minds the month of working on our English research papers. Oh, what a relief when it was completed! Also taking much of the seniors' time and effort were sociology, chemistry, speech, dra- matics and journalism. Honors came to us through Pat Weiler and Carolyn Sanislo who were chosen Homecoming Queen and Senior Ball Queen, respectively. Joe Wiley made a very handsome King of the Senior Ball, also. We were honored in sports, too, thanks to Lonnie Stull, Ray Esparza, and others who were noticeably good in football, basketball, baseball, and track. On the scholarship side of the honors was Karen Griffith who made us proud by placing in the Scholarship Qualifying Contest in October. We have good homemakers among us, too, with Elaine Heater placing first in the District Cherry Pie Baking Contest. After many long and tedious hours of re- hearsing night after night, the Senior Play turned out to be a ,big success. Tryouts were held after the first semester ended and rehearsing began immediately. Mrs. Doris Lisk, director of the play, did an excellent job of directing the cast. Spring heralded the forthcoming and final activities of the Class of '57. Graduation, that final, thrilling-yet lump-in-the-throat-event- on the night of May 28 saw valedictory honors going to Karen Griffith. After the last gift had been opened, the last robe folded and returned, and the last parting So long, came the realization that our years at West Valley High had drawn to a close. We were now launched on the high seas of life to make the best possible use of the knowledge and skills we had gained.
