The theme was an evening in China, and it was appropriately named Oriental Paradise. The king and queen chosen were Eleanor Haley and Robert Swans- biirg. That same evening several members from the crew met at Anne Hodge ' s house and had a wonderful party. There were also several before-and-after-the- Prom parties being lield at Nancy Brewster ' s, Marilyn Child ' s, Dorothy Midgley ' s, anfd Lois Kelsey ' s homes. J Our assembly success (or the junior year was the wrestling match. I doubt if anyone has forgotten the dropping of Arnie Hayden from the cat-walk. Our other assembly was part oF the Hayloft Jamboree with Nelson Bragg and Ray Smith. ' A. Both dances of our junior y ar were tw ' o huge successes. In addition to the prom there was the football dance which made higti scho ol history and which add- ed considerably to the class treasury. ] The junior year was a most successful one, and it will, al ong with t he other two years, be long remembered. — We brought our beautifully modelled space ship to a halt andjiooked ahead lo the end of our journey which was not too far off. On our fourth and final flight we started immediately to make preparations r our graduation in June. Our pilots for this flight were the very capable Mrs. Healy and Mr. Pierce. t|to-pilots were Paul Carriere, Wayne Perkins, Lorraine Magaletta, and Mary J | !»everal new names were added to our crew in our last year— June MacDonald, Dorothy Connell, Joann Murch, and Alice Watson.

inlaid .y iitor y The beginning of our wonderful trip into space, for the duration of four years, took place in the fall of 1950. Our take-off was under the supervision-eiour very capable pilots, Miss Keenan and Mr. Kocina. The co-pilots for oiir first tritKjvere Paul Carriere, Harry Aaron, Sally Ann Morris, and Lorraine M galetta. Before the start of our journey into space, we took one Ton look behind us the many pleasant years spent at the various schools in Westwood, then faced th( coming four years with pride. Although saying good-bye to Marjorie Prosser ' RoTSert Smith, Anne Rowling- son, and Coragene Marshall, we had the pleasure of greeting several new members to our crew— Grace GiH drHR bert Mercer,,,Battf-Palmborg, and James Post. After saying good-bye to our former cre ' mertiDers, we tnen showed our new mates the new part that they were to play in the coming journey which lay ahead of us all. Af ter getting used to our surroundings, we then decided to give a try at enter- tainment. We produced everal successful events, including our Thanksgiving Assembly anci the February Valentine dance which was suitably named Cupid ' s Chance. Havin recei ed congratulations from so many of the high school pupils for our good work, tve were all the happier with our surroundings. By this time we liad. become very well acquainted with our teachers and our new friends, which made us feel very happy. The time was drawing near when we would have to make a landing; so abou the middle of June our pilots capably landed the plane, and we were very prou of the accomplishments that lay behind us. On our second flight, starting September, 1951, we had as our competent jjllots, Mr. Kocina and Mr. Pierce. Our co-pilots were Paul Carriere, Michae lerer, Sally Ann Morris, and Lorraine Magaletta.
