Settlor Class Officers: Pres. Bruce Brewer, Vice-Pres. John Kacer, Sec.-Treas. Rita Seymour, Student Council Represen ative Eleanor Knapp. Twelve years ago many of the Seniors of 1961 started learning how to work and get along together. Co-operat; was a hard point to achieve but the accomplishment of it began to show when we were in our Freshman year. The class chose Ron Bolton as President. The other officers were Ricky Moulden, Vice-Pres.; Ann Marsh, Sec.-Treas.; Georgia Lochridge, Rep. and A1 Kosko, Calendar Committee Rep. We sponsored our first soc dance and also entere a float in the Homecoming parade that year. This all proved to be very successful and it gave us much encourage ment for the future years. Our Sophomore year began with selecting our officers. They were Dave Williams, Pres.; Marita Stahl, Vice- Pres.; Joan Gentala, Sec.-Treas.; Bill Boyle, Rep.; and All Kosko, Calendar Committee Rep. Our main activity this year was the Sophomore Hop. The theme was Rock Around The Clock. This year many of the class mem- bers entered into new and different activities and Clubs. We made our first year in Senior High a perfect beginnit for future success and fun. In our Junior year Dave Williams was again elected President. Lyn Rose was our Vice-Pres., with Marita Stahl as Sec.-Treas., and Ann Marsh, Rep. This was a very exciting year for our class. It began with receiving our clat rings. The Jr.-Sr. Ball was another highpoint of the year. Lyn Rose was the Co-General Chairman for the dance entitled Harbor Lights. Many of the Juniors contributed their time and talent to this project. The final year of our goal finally arrived. We are Seniors at last! This proved to be the most outstanding ant memorable year for us. Our first activity was going to Tacoma to have our Senior pictures taken. Then we order our pictures, announcements, calling cards, and our caps and gowns. Besides all of the regular activities of the students there were many of the Seniors applying for scholarships. The Seniors participated in almost all of the activities offered. The Jr.-Sr. Ball was held in May this year. Most of the Seniors worked very hard to make this dance as successful as possible since it was their last high school dance. A perfect and most wonderful ending to twelve long years of work was graduation. This was one moment that will stay in the hearts of the Class of 61 forever.

“Poem Dear little book, on your page of white, There is something that we would write, Something that we wish to tell, When to our school we say farewell. Four years we spent in White River High, Now the time has come to say goodbye, We have found it is not so. Of course we're glad to graduate, Glad we made it through, But into each heart there has crept an ache, At the thought of leaving you. There's our old assembly room It seems to us like a second home, As the time of leaving has drawn nearer, It seems it has grown dearer. Then we wish to thank our teachers. Both the present and the past, For the lessons they have taught us, The lessons that will last. We also wish to thank them For the patience they have shown, And if we fail in any way, To say the fault's our own. We speak of them with reverence. There was our dear old Doc, Who stood up for the White River School, As solid as a rock. Now that his life is finished. All its pages unrolled, We would build for him were we rich enough, A monument of gold. Next year the old school bell will ring, But we'll not heed its ringing. The Glee Club boys and girls will sing, But we'll not hear their singing. The time has come to say goodbye, And we must be away, And what the future holds for us, There's none of us can say. Mrs. J. T. Rainey 11
