CLASS HISTORY On September 1, 1955, a group of scared, but eager, freshmen began their long journey toward graduation. To lead us as we entered our high school launching site the class of '59 elected James Lind, president, Harry Wilhelm, vice-president, Janet Rogers, secretary, and Barbara Reitz, treasurer. Student Council representatives were Barbara Kniss, Mary Coolidge, and Larry Anderson. We chose Mr. and Mrs. Henry Buchhammer to be our class parents and, with Mr. James as class sponsor, we took the first step on our journey. Chief Engineers as we blasted off during our sophomore year were Linda Bowden, president, James Lind, vice-president, Sharon Buchhammer, secretary, and Virginia Nichol, treasurer. Student Council representatives were Barbara Kniss, Pam Heldt, and Larry Anderson. Navigators, Mr. and Mrs. Cal Anderson, class parents, and Mr. Baker, class sponsor, assisted us as we planned money-raising schemes, decorated for Baccalaureate, and served at the junior-senior Prom. Keeping us on course as we entered the busy junior year were Barbara Kniss, president, Sharon Buckham-mer, vice-president, Janet Rogers, secretary, and Roger Green, treasurer. Student Council representatives were Alfretta Maxcy, James Lind, and Barbara Reitz. Larry Anderson was elected Student Council vice-president. Standing by to give advice were class parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Wilhelm and class sponsors, Mrs. Cunningham and Mr. Knepper. With their help we constructed a Fantasy in Blue junior-senior Prom and presented the junior class play, The Family Nobody Wanted. We had on deck several bluebloods — Bandball Royalty Barbara Kniss and Larry Anderson and Football Queen, Virginia Kaiser. At an impressive candlelight ceremony. Cliff Calvert, Hugh Genoways, Barbara Kniss and Janet Rogers were inducted into the National Honor Society. Linda Bowden and Larry Anderson were selected as Girls' and Boys' State representatives, respectively. At the end of the year traditions were handed out to Larry Anderson, Barbara Kniss, Janet Rogers, and Roger Green. As seniors we sighted our destination and elected Roger Green president, Pam Heldt vice-president, Linda Bowden secretary, and Barbara Reitz treasurer, to land us safely. Student Council representatives were James Lind, Alfretta Maxcy, and Barbara Kniss. Larry Anderson and Janet Rogers were elected Student Council President, and Secretary-Treasurer respectively. Co-pilots Mr. and Mrs. Cal Anderson, class parents and sponsors, Miss Blackburn and Mr. Stine helped us land without mishap. We presented The Night of January 16th, attended the Ice Capades, were honored at the junior-senior Prom, Coney Island, published the Tiger under the able direction of Barbara Kniss, Ecjitor, Elaine Eiben, Associate Editor, and Miss Blackburn, Sponsor, and purchased a hi-fi set for the school. Sharon Buckhammer and James Lind were crowned Basketball queen and king; Linda Bowden, Elaine Eiben, and James Lind were tapped for membership in the N.H.S.; Barbara Kniss received the D.A.R. award; and Alfretta Maxcy, Barbara Kniss, Jim Lind, and Larry Anderson were elected to the Hall of Fame. As graduation time rolls around we march solemnly into the gym, decorated in the class colors, red and white, hoping that in some small measure we have proved our motto Self-conquest is the greatest of all virtues to be true. 20
