QD S SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Mr. Redgate, Advisor, Joseph Stacy, Treasurerg Janie Bradshaw, Vice Presidentg Paul Shanklin, Presidentg Sally Jefferson, Four years ago, in our Freshman year of 1958, very few of us could have anticipated how swiftly our high school days would pass. As Freshmen we unfortunately had to at- tend school in the afternoon because of the double session system, resulting in our miss- ing out on many school activities and on meeting the upperclassmen. But with the aid of our advisors, Mrs. Hobby and Mr. Red- gate, and our newly elected officers, Kevin Kenny-Presidentg Dianne Zeller-Vice- President, Allison Slaughter- Secretaryg Paul Berry -Treasurer, our year proved very rewarding. As Sophomores we were able to partici- pate in more activities. Elected for class of- ficers were, Paul Berry-President, Mary- Jane Ricker-Vice-Presidentg Sally Jeffer- son-Secretary, and David Harris-Treas- urer. Our social event of the year was our dance, Blue Heaven, which was made very suc- cessful by the support of all the classes and the work done by the dance committees. Before we knew it our Junior year appear- ed and we were faced with many new and exciting activities. This also was our first year in the new Whitman-Hanson Regional High School, and once again we found our- selves confused and searching for our as- signed classes. Our class officers for this year were Dick Ferris - President, Janie Bradshaw-Vice- Presidentg Sally Jefferson- Secretary, and. Joe Stacey - Treasurer. Secretaryg Mrs. Hobby, Advisor. On May 12, in our gymnasium we held our Prom, Wonderland by Night. Chosen for Queen was Sally Jefferson and her court in- cluded Diane Harding, Janie Bradshaw, Lin- da Fisher, Karen Nutter, Barbara Knorr, and Sue Merriam. Everyone worked diligent- ly to make the dance a success and despite the rainy weather it will be remembered as one of the happiest event of the year. Then at long last we were Seniors. There was added to our school faculty, our new Principal, Mr. Elton B. Smith, who has prov- en to be a very understanding and helpful person through our last year of school. Elected to be our class officers for our final year were, Paul Shanklin - Presidentg Janie Bradshaw - Vice-Presidentg Sally Jef- ferson-Secretaryg and Joe Stacey-Treas- urer. We are certain everyone will remember the Thanksgiving Day football game with Abington, and although we did not win, we can be proud of the spirit shown by the stu- dents and the team, who did their utmost despite the many injuries of players who were not able to participate. We hope that you, the students, will continue to support your school as you did that day. We still have many events to come and we know that with the closing of our Senior year we will have had many memorable moments to remember. We wish to extend our appre- ciation and gratitude to the faculty and our class advisors for all the help and guidance they have given us throughout our four years.
