F?F2EIF4 P1lF2bEEY l'l'Il0'l1S On September 5, l955, l22 freshmen entered Alexandria High School, and vowed they would never be like any of their predecessors. Unfortunately, they broke their vows, and started at once to get lost. Within a few weeks after the begin- ning of school, this class lost its timidity and pulled the Sophomores through Pipe Creek in the annual tug-of-war. This was only the beginning. The same group, as Sophomores, was able to make its imprint on the minds of the lofty upper classmen by acting a little less green and using a little more common sense. Several attempts were made at having class parties, but they didn't meet with much success. There was a decrease in class membership to lOS students. In September, 1957, the foremost thought in the minds of the Junior class num- bers was the Junior-Senior Reception. Class officers for this year were Bill Hale, president, Barbara Nay, vice-president, Fred Trueblood, secretary, and Dorothy Donahue, treasurer. At the beginning of the school year, plans were made for several money-making schemes and under the guidance of R. W. Ihne, and Miss Emma Phillips, sponsors, enough money was made to give the Seniors a reception and still have money for the next year. Several Junior dances were held and although they were mainly for mak- ing money, they also helped to bring the entire school together. A revival of the indoor carnival was staged by the Mothers' Club and the Junior class. Bingo, a fish pond, cake-walk, and side shows were featured. NIt's Papa Who Pays' was the play given by the Junior class. The main event of the year was the Junior-Senior Reception, held at the Roberts Hotel in Muncie.
