And four years later as sophomores we had added nine more classmates: Arnie Albrecht, Darlene Balch, Mort Robbins, john Pennington, Ann Paul, Delores Satterlee, LaVerne Wick, LaQueta Wil- liams and Carolyn Koski. As sophomores we proudly wore our new Kelly green and white class sweaters. Then late in our sophomore year we selected our class ring style and waited, oh so anxiously, for the arrival of the bands of gold which symbolized our getting along the road toward graduation. The next fall, when we were full-fledged juniors, the rings came. enior Class History Right: Treasurer Darlene Balch, Secretaey Toni Karnis, Adviser Mrs. Gimmey, and S. . Rep. Marilyn Brown attempt to work out financial end of Senior Day activities. Two names to be put in our memory books were No More Homework, our class play, and A Holi- day in Romef, the theme of our prom. Our prom was the last junior formal dance to be held in the old big gymf, Our first class activity as seniors was the joint presentation, together with the juniors, of Riddle Me Richesf, a comedy. Even as our junior formal dance was the last one to be held in the old schoolf' so our Senior Ball, Winter Fantasyf, was the first formal dance in the new multi-purpose room of the new school building. It was a fantasy of shades of blue, con- trasted with silvery-white, and was held the first Saturday in December. An estimated sixteen seniors attended. Senior portraits, cards and announcements were ordered in December to make the month a memor- able one, and served to bring us another step toward graduation. February saw 'us measured for our blue and white caps and gowns. We also deliberated on the site where we would hold our senior day, which was held May 18. Mt. Hood Country Club was chosen. Finally Baccalaureate Day arrived, june 3. Then, at last, on june 8 we became the first class to hold our commencement ceremony in the new gym- nasium. THIS PAGE SPONSORED BY Thornley Buick Loucvusw
