Officers, Advisor Select
Senior Class Gift
Selection of the Senior Class
gift for the Class of 1968 has
been made by the class officers
and the class advisor.
Jim Powell, president; Bill
Deal, vice president; Carol Car
ruthers, secretary; and Barbara
Israel, treasurer; and Miss Ann
Moore, advisor, made the decisi'in
from a list of possibilities sub
mitted by seniors. Announcement
and presentation of the gift will
be made during the Class Day
program.
The class has $500 to spend on
its contribution to the school.
Various suggestions were dis
cussed and discarded because of
price, usefulness, and practicality.
Painting the auditorium was dis
carded because this would cost
about $10,000. Other ideas were
rejected because they would be
less than $500 and the money
would have to be split up over
two gifts.
Other gifts were not considered
because they could not be com
pleted in the time remaining this
year, or because the officers felt
it was something that should be
undertaken by the city, not as a
class gift.
