CLASS HISTORY FRESHMAN YEAR The class of 1954 entered Coe-Brown Academy in September of 1950 with 23 members. We weren’t like other classes as we never were shy or scared. We started our first year by electing officers under the guidance of Miss Mabel Priestly. Our officers were: President ...................................... Richard Ball Vice-President ................................. Roland White Secretary ...................................... Marion Pease Treasurer ................................ Mary Lou Demrnons Chronicle Reporter ...................... Carol Hammerstrom Student Council Representatives ............. Maxine Twombly Richard Ball The boys this year weren’t very sports minded as we had only Roland White who was our representative in baseball. The girls did extremely well, however, as we had Marion Pease, Dee Dee Rol- lins, and Sylvia Shepard as regulars on the softball team. Dee Dee Rol- lins as a regular on the volleyball team; and Dee Dee Rollins, Marion Pease, and Elizabeth Lovely running in track. We also had Faye Rollins as a sub in volley- ball, Marion Pease and Norene Holmes as subs in cheerleading and Norene Holmes as a sub in track. We held two very successful socials during the year.
