1963 Boomerang

As our senior year began we realized that we were nearing the end of our school years and
that everything we did we would be doing for the last time. We vowed that we would get the most
out of the year and work hard, so that we might look back on our year and be proud of our accomplishments.
We have done this and we have good reason to be proud. The faculty w ill agree that our
class has been one of the best classes ever to graduate from Box Elder. The scholastic abilities of the
students was w ell above average. We had learned to get along w ith the faculty and our fellow
classmates. As seniors we were leaders of the school and set examples for the juniors and sophomores.
Our class parents, Jordan Larsen and Rosamond Sleigh, advised us well and were always there
when w e needed them. O ur class officers, Lynn Ritchie, president; Kenny Davis, vice president; and
Kathleen Owen, secretary, and our class parents helped us produce the senior play, "A ll My Sons,"
which w ill long be remembered by everyone who saw it.

The Class o f LXIII produced another outstanding Peach Day float when "Roma A ntiqua"
em egred from the shop to w in th ird place in the Peach Day parade. The floa t illustrated Roman gal
lentry w ith a chariot led by tw o brilliant horses made of paper-mache.
The boys in athletics thrilled us and worried us, too. We represented our region in the state
football tournament. We entered the state basketball tournament as third place holders in the region.
Free dancing lessons were given during the early spring for several weeks on Monday nights.
Many of us took advantage of them and learned some new dance steps.
KENNY
The school play, "The Late Christopher Bean," was another great achievement of our school.
The drama and emotion shown in the play proved the ability of our director and cast in doing a good
job in dramatics.
The last few weeks o f school were filled w ith parties and practices. And then, as w e walked
across the platform to receive our diplomas at graduation, we looked back over our wonderful years
at B.E. and tears began to fa ll. Some tears w e re o f sadness because w e w o u ld never again return to
Box Elder, but some were tears of joy that we had made it and were now on our own to face an
adult w orld and show it what we had learned.
