CLASS HISTORY OF '53 The big day had arrived! We, the class of “53” were freshmen. Upon entering school that September morning, we found that the two eighth grades had been combined in the big study hail under the guid- ance of Miss Robertson. We held our first class meeting for the purpose of ejecting officers, who were: Milo Fisher, president; Evelyn Oberly, vice president; Patricia Gerer, secretary; and Loren Vil- lard, treasurer. We collected tax stamps for a money raising project. Class enrollment: James Almasy, Richard Arntz, Eleanor Aukerman, Beverly Baker, Ronald Barwick, Wanda Bland, Donald Blythe, Wil- liam Bower, Ronald Brown, Delbert Buckhannon, Barbara Cable, Donald Clark, Donna Curren, Cath- erine Dick, Rose Dobransky, Jo Ann Eddy, Ramona Finley, Milo Fisher, Mary Gates, Patricia Gerer, Kathleen Graham, Doris Harbert, Larry Hoskinson, Barbara Jones, Earl King, Lucille King, William Kolm, William Lab, Jean Lautzenheiser, Betty Jean Linhart, Dale Lones, Louella Masters, Carmen Ma- this, Shirley Margo, Howard Mark, Joanne Marks, Shirley McLichock, Paul Middaugh, Arlene Miller, Kenneth Miller, Verl Miller, Jane Moulin, Evelyn Oberly, Carolyn Paulus, Shirley Peters, Barbara Po- len, George Proffitt, Mary Louise Robinson, Barbara Shourds, Nancy Simon, Richard Snyder, Arthur Ste- fanick, Harold Stertzbach, Patricia Tourno, Yvonne Veit, Loren Y'illard, Joan Wallingford, Sally Weddell, Richard Zimmerman. As we moved into our sophomore year the class found themselves separated into two classes under the sponsorship of Mrs. Norris and Mrs. Ryder. We again collected tax stamps to increase our treasury. Officers this year were: Milo Fisher, president; George Proffitt, vice president; Wanda Bland, secre- tary, and Yvonne Veit, treasurer. The outstanding event of the year was our class Christmas party in which the crowning of the Snow Queen, Jo Ann Eddy, was the main feature. The attendants were Yvonne Veit, Evelyn Oberly, Patricia Gerer, and W'anda Bland. After the crowning of the queen, we enjoyed square dancing. Refreshments were then served followed by a gift exchange. This year we were happy to welcome Ronald Wil- zoch, Adrian Roth, Marion Evans, Katherine Grant, Jennie Bruey, Norma Jordan, Linley Lillie, Bernard McFadden, Jerry Mowery, Dona Jean Paumier, and Pat Smith; but we were sorry to lose Donald Blythe, Katherine Grant, William Bower, Ronald Brown, Delbert Buckhannon, Mary Gates, Doris Harbert, Earl King, William Lab, Dale Lones, Arlene Miller, Barbara Polcn, and Richard Snyder. Entering into our Junior year we were again combined into one group under the excellent guid- ance of Miss Robertson. Wc were looking forward to a very busy and exciting year. Our main projects this year were giving the Seniors a prom and putting on our class plqy, “Seventeen Is Terrific”, which was a huge success. We sold refreshments at home basketball games, candy the second semester, collect- ed tax stamps, held a bake sale, and had a magazine drive, as our projects for raising money. The officers of the class were: Milo Fisher, presi- dent; George Proffitt, vice president; Betty Jean Lin- hart, secretary; and Evelyn Oberly, treasurer. This year wc again lost some of our classmates. They were: James Almasy, Ronald Barwick, Donald Clark, Barbara Jones, Lucille King, Verl Miller, Arthur Stefanick, Patricia Tourno, Joan Walling- ford, Ronald Wilzoch, Adrian Roth, and Marion Evans. The new ones this year were: Pat Hemp- hill, Shirley O’Neil, Darlene Oyster, Jack Polcn, Betty Roark, Lloyd Williamson, and Ruth Crank. Now still under the skillful guidance of Miss Robertson, wc enter our last year of high school. We are proud because we are Seniors, but there is a feeling of regret because this is the last of twelve happy and exciting years together as a class. We have wonderful memories of those years and high hopes for the future and the things it will bring. The class elected as their officers this year: George Proffitt, president; Jack Polen, vice president; Betty Jean Linhart, secretary: and Richard Zimmerman, treasurer. We were happy to welcome into our class, Hilde- gard Riske, from Germany; but we were sorry to lose Nancy Simon, Linley Lillie, Lloyd Williamson, and Ruth Crank. Our projects this year were: Putting on a class play “Hillbilly Weddin’ ” which was a tremendous success, and publishing an annual. We sold Christ- mas cards, wrapping paper, candy and ice cream. We also collected tax stamps to make money. The class left for the trip to Washington on April 27, baccalaureate services were held on May 24, and commencement exercises were held on May 27, 1953. We must now go out and face the world on our own as we strive to build a happy and secure future. Mary Lou Robinson, Historian Shirley O’Neil, Assistant (23)
