Carolyn Gregg was chosen as Woodburn Day Queen with eleven other Senior girls in her court. An occasion we will never forget is the initiation party for the Freshmen and we really welcomed them. To help us get money in the treasury, we had bake sales, sold chili and various other things. Then we had to start spending some of our hard-earned money. Senior pictures, name cards, invi- tations, caps and gowns: all of these things add to the wonderful memories we will always have of our high school days. At the end of the first semester we lost Shirley Flint, leaving twenty-six to finish the year. Then in April we presented our class play, Strictly Confidential , directed by Mrs. Wilma Wetter, with eleven characters acting their best to make it a huge success. Following the second presentation, we had a cast party at the home of Harry Stoller which was enjoyed by all. This too, is the year that our class is responsible for setting up the Arrow for publication and we've worked hard trying to make it bigger and better. On April 24, we were the guests of the Junior class at the Junior-Senior Reception. The theme was Moonlight And Roses g this event is another of our treasures. Our beautiful Baccalaureate Service, which was held on May 16, will always be remembered. Reverend Charles Schmidt and Reverend Schulenburg officiated. Commencement was held on May Zl, with Reverend C. W. Kocker of the Forest Park Methodist Church, Fort Wayne, as our speaker. l-Ie spoke on Daily Preparations Determine The Future , Our colors are blue and silver and our flower is a blue and white carnation. Our theme Not The End But The Begin ning will follow each of us as he takes a different pathway of life. On May 23, we left for Washington, D.C. and New Yorkg we had reached the goal we had been work ing so hard toward for the past four years. This Page Is Sponsored By EARL'S TAVERN Woodburn, Indiana
