Mr. £ ncll. our advisor, did an excellent job fixing various props to accommodate the theme. Most of us will remember the trip the whole senior class took to Tacoma when our pictures were taken. My gosh! Where did the time go? It seems that we just started and now we are ready to go into the world on our own. but neverthe- less we had a good time all four years. Our senior year is one never to be lorgottcn. Remember the trip to Tacoma for our pictures, order- ing our calling cards, announcements and our robes? School really wasn i so bad was it? We had our ups and downs, and all in all we enjoyed every bit of it. But where did the time all go?
