SENIOR HISTORY Just four years ago, the present senior class first entered in- to Dennison High School. Upon our first entrance to Dennison High, we, the freshmen were a bit confused, but we were not ones to stay that way. As soon as we became familiar with our surroundings, we began to take our part in the activities of the school. At the end of our first year, we had won recognition as a class of willing and cooperative workers. Students from our class had entered in all phases of the activities of the school. The most widely known freshman was probably Bill nMuttn Barth, the champion half-miler in the district. Bill went to Columbus where he placed seven th in the state. Other outstanding freshmen were, Joanne FUlt0n a soloist in the high school chorus, and Margie Brownfield and Helen 'Punkyn Richard who were mHJorettes in the high school band. The next year we got off to a good start by electing as our new officers, Willard Hill, President, Don Sudduth, Vice-Presidentg and Helen Richard, Secretary-Treasurer. The class was well represented on the football team with one member, Don Sudduth, earning his award along with many others who participated but failed to get enough quarters for their letters. In basketball, the class was represented too with Willy Hill, Mutt Barth, and Dick Rizor earning their ND'sn. Don't forget the girls for they were not ones to shirk their duties, not with such activities as girls' chrous, G. A. A., the band, and, one cheerleader, Myrnie Bache. Our junior year was a very busy one with clubs, athletics, and dramatics. The class officers this year were Don Sudduth, President Mary Jane Whitaker, Vice-President, succeeded later in the year by Margie Brownfield, Nancy Treherne, Secretaryg and Marilyn Bache, Treasurer. The junior play was entitled nTHE GAY GOOSE' and was quite well received. The class then began to prepare for the Jun- ior-Senior Promg head of the prom committee was Bill King, who did a magnificent jobg there is little doubt but that the seniors of that year will remember that job. The crowning joy of the whole year to most of the juniors was that dance and the satisfaction gained then may be surpassed only by graduation. Our senior class officers are Willard Hill, President, Joanne Fulton V.Pres.gMyrnie Bache,Treas.gMarge Brownfield, Sec. and Billy King, Social Chairman. The senior boys did pretty well in athletics this year with seven of the class on one or the other of the first two teams, the offensive or defensive platoons. One of the seniors, Dick Rizor, set a new individual scoring record for Dennison teams by scoring 81 points in a single season. The captain, Frank Barker, won an award for blocking the most kicks in a single season. The seniors also had a toe specialist, that is the one who attempts a point after the touchdown, Willy Hill. The first class activity this year was a hayrideg this hayride was very successfulgin fact, we sold more tickets than we had room for riders. Then came the senior play, our play this year was entitled 'TROUBLE SHOOTERH a three act farce comedy. Work on the yearbook soon followed, and the class was very busy at this task. The class changed sponsors at the beginning of the second semesterg Mr. Lower took the place of Mr. Allen. Now we must begin to prepare for Class Day, the class trip, picnic, graduation exercises, Baccalaureate and Commencement. 19
