(Eli? UHiti?-Aiuakp CLASS HISTORY (Continued) April 13, 1951 Dear Diary— Jamboree tonight. Again we won the honor of giving the jamboree after the magazine sales. Everyone had a good time tonight so we can chalk up another success to the class of 1951. April 20, 1951 Dear Diary— Gee, we had fun tonight. We left for New York right after school to see South Pacific . It was good. Mr. Tobias, Mr. Israel, Miss Buzzell, and Miss Jones drove down with us. They were swell sports and everybody agreed that the trip was a real success. Got home just in time for breakfast. May I Ith or 12th Dear Diary— Oh do I feel terriffic! Just got home from the Junior-Senior Prom. It was wonderful ! ! ! There was a really big crowd at this, the first formal in the new gym. Francis Delfino's orchestra was really sharp. The gym was decorated beautifully and so were the kids. They really looked pretty special. They were dressed quite differently from the way they are in class. Tonight was really a success. It was a perfect event even though we did not get much sleep because we got home so late. But then, that was fun too. June 8, 1951 Dear Diary— It is almost time to leave for class night. How these four years have flown by. Sunday night is Baccalaureate and Wednesday night we graduate. It will be a happy occasion, of course, but I can't help feeling a little sad. After Graduation we will all go different ways but I know we'll remember each other, our teachers. Woodbury High and all the fun we've had. No matter what happens nobody can take our happy memories of the past four years from us. Now I've got to hurry or I will be late for Class Night and I don't want to miss any of the fun I know we re going to have. by Velma Deschino, Betty Lou Keech, Ronald Hellwinkle. 195 X
