Although this strange new experience was rather confusing at first, we soon fell into the daily routine of our new lives. After realizing that school wasn't all study, webegan to take part in the various activities. The boys joined the Hi-Y and the girls the Y-Teen. We tried hard in music, as every- one took part in glee club and sev- eral joined the band. Some of the girls, as well as the boys, took part in athletics. Even though these new found ac- tivities were a lot of fun, there was still that studying that had to be done. After seeing our first six weeks report, we hoped that academically we could hold our own.

RIEGEL OF OUR LIVES During the first two years of our trip through W. R. H. S. , things went pretty much the same. ln the two to come, the pace quickened and things began to happen. As Juniors, we tried acting and presented our first class play. There is nothing like success to feed the ego of those seeking a place in the sun. The following year another was to be presented with equal success. As Juniors, we entertained at Hernando's, and this year we 'wined and dined in the South Pa- cific. We have had other exciting ex- periences, much too numerous to mention, and when we recall them in the years ahead of us, we will probably discover that the years we spent at Wilsey High were some of the best years of our lives.
