CLASS HISTORY On September 2, 1941, the Class of 1954 started its school days in North Ward. Eight of the graduating class were present. They were Jack Benton, Carol Bowden, Don Colla-morc, Jeanette Green, Gloria Schaffer, Betty Shultz and Barbara Splittgerber. Our days were filled with play days, class picnics, and plays. In the fourth grade we had a Thanksgiving dinner. The big events in the sixth grade were a class dinner and a visit to the Freedom Train. In 1948 we moved to the High School Building. As seventh graders we held a box social. We filled our time with studying and activities. While in the eighth grade we took part in the first Junior High Operetta, The Galloping Ghost.’’ Our parties were a Hobo Party and a class dinner and a dance which was held on Saint Patrick's Day. Under the supervision of Mrs. Hendrickson we conducted our promotion exercises. We were joined by twenty-seven new freshmen to make a total of seventy in our first year of high school. Our officers were Jack Reifschneider, President; Ralph Langhofer, Vice President; Betty Shultz, Secretary; and Mary Ann Schaffer, Treasurer. Our class parents were Mr. and Mrs. Carl Reifschneider, Jr., and our class sponsor was Mr. Gaha-gen. We decorated the gymnasium with stars for our class party on January 19, 1950. There were sixty-three sophomores to start our second year in Bayard High. Beverly Willey was our class President; Betty Lou Speer, Vice President; Doris Hood, Secretary; and Dick Marker, Treasurer. Our class sponsor was Mr. Vinnola. The class parents for the next three years were Mr. and Mrs. Jake Huck. We gave a very profitable carnival and an April Showers Party.’’ As Juniors we elected Don Michal, President; Marvin Martin, Vice President; Janice Krueger, Secretary; and Don Baird, Treasurer. Our sponsors were Mrs. Mowry and Mr. Vinnola. Junior activities included selling magazines, license plate tags and ordering our class rings. Our class play was Ask Me Another. The theme for Junior-Senior Prom was Southern Plantations” and was held in the old gym on May 8th. We reached our goal of thirteen years of schooling. Officers for our senior year were Robert Bond, President; Jack Reifschneider, Vice President; Maureen Walker, Secretary; and Ralph Langhofer, Treasurer. Our sponsors were Miss Barditzky and Mr. Maurer. Our biggest job was the publishing of the 1954 TIGER. Our class colors were blue and white, and our class flower was the white rose. We are still looking forward to our senior class play, graduation, and the Prom. With these memories we will cherish our four years’ experience in Bayard High School. As the future years bring new experiences we will carry with us our class motto: Knowledge comes, but Wisdom Lingers.”
