Coast of ike C own 12 The year that we had so long awaited finally arrived. In addition to feeling joyous that school was almost over, we also felt regret. The little things that seemed so big at the time were things of the past, and our doubts of the future became reality. We, also, tried to have the best senior class. In this attempt we had the great feeling of being seniors— a feeling that only a senior can understand. To reach our goal we chose leaders like Bill Donohue, Dick Grim, Mary Dreier, and Dick Schneider to direct our government. To act as adviser we were honored to have Howard Tomlinson. W'e organized a senior council to become the voice of the class. Through these people, who so well justified our faith in them, we climbed toward our goal. No one can judge our contest. No one can award or deprive us of a blue ribbon for being the best. No one has to. The ones that did their best, desire no ribbons. The great feeling of being Seniors . . .
