doesn't il? But memories col
lectcd in - years can be
quickly recalled especially
by any graduating senior. The
freshest memories are those of
the seniors last year.
The senior year is a crca-
ton designed To shock, Sooth",
excite. deprcSS, elevate, de
grade. and generally To mature
students.
The local high schools sem
iorS have many memories as
Sociatcd with just their class
and some which they share
with the 'vcrdant frCShmCnt,
gay. young, SophomorcS, and
jolly juniors"
Remember Student Council
elections at the first of the
year they were quite Spir-
! tied.
The all-day teachers meet
ing caused rejoicing in all
quarters except among
teachers.
The chorus production of
hnlahl and the Night Visitors.
What can one say about such
an unfurgcttablc memory?
Then the times that Leap

athletic teams where they
wanted to 60. Now were try
ing Ia get rid of LCcna and
get new activity bus. viii

tered little that we had no
| SnowStorm.
After returning TO school the
/ shadow of mid-tcrm CXamina-
tiOnS dimmcd the pOSt-ChriSt-
mas good feelings. Days seem
ed cXcruciatingly duh, yet
painful.
Basketball games, baseball
games, track meets, golf mat
chCS (thc locals won the coun-
ty championship, and football
games helped TO keep school
spirit pCrkinG along. The near
wins and losses sent many
hearts pounding faster.
The ChccrlcadcrS ran thC
gamut of emotions durin !
games. They made such a prCt =
ty sight with their rcd and
white outfits.
When we had chapel pro-
grams, the seniors could not
help getting Il little misty
When The professional was
played.
The annual athletic banquet
was success. Coach Jim
Hickey didn't seem too shook

On May II, Dolores Lee and
Maraic SugGS presented their
senior piano recital. Many
hours of diliccnt daily prac-
ticC ended with the realization
of mOrC-than-a-dcCadC dream.
Miss SuggS played with much
natural fire, always conscious
of bringing out contrasts in
mood. Miss Lee brought a
SmoOthnCSS of line and an cX-
CCptiOnal maturity of express
sion to her music. Both girls
presented performances that
will b" difficult for other stu
dents of Mrs. Martha r. Bru-
ton to equal or exceed i'll the
future.
Now the focus has turned 20

varied little things. Did say
little? Who is the judge?
