CLASS HISTORY At last the day had come when the eighty-three members of the class of '55 were Freshmen. Mrs. Williams, Miss Isenman, and Mr. Schafer were our sponsors. The class elected Clark Kandel, President, Bob Kroft, Vice-President, Nadine Veit, Secretary, and Kenneth Haynam, Treasurer. Our money raising project this year was the collecting of tax stamps dur- ing which we had a contest between the boys and girls. Moving on to our Sophomore year we found our sponsors were Mrs. Walters and Mr. Heckaman. Our officers this year were Ross Sherer, Presidentg Clark Kandel, Vice-Presidentg Nadine Veit, Secretaryg Ken- neth Haynam, Treasurer. This year Shelva Smith, Paul Ake, Dale Henderlong, Dave Oyster, and jack Batten joined our class but before the year was over we were to lose Edna Becker, Roger Bolger, Thelma Bowser, David Buckwalter, Delores Campbell, Donald Clapper, Wilbur Clapper, jack jones, Tom King, james Kreitzer, Eugene Leotti, May Lones, Herbert Lowery, Gene Maurer, Carolyn Mikes, Shirley Nordick, Ron- ald Patterson, Elmer Stidom, William Wagner, james Walker, and Gerald Wilson. To increase our treasury we sold seeds, shakeroos, and collected tax stamps. We also sponsored a hayride for our class. Our class par- ticipated in stunt night sponsored by the Student Council. With Mrs. Keys and Mrs. Ryder as our sponsors we began our junior year with a membership of sixty-six. We re-elected the same class officers. Those to depart from our class were Virginia Dobransky, Mary jo Howell, Pat Schuster, Lenora Kirby, Virginia Becker, and Dale Henderlong. In the untimely death of Mary ,IQ Howell the class experienced its first common sor- row. We shall always remember her as a friendly, warm-hearted girl who was liked by everyone. Under the capable direction of Mr. Quinn we successfully presented Girl Shy as our junior play. This was our first venture in dramatics. Everyone had a wonder- ful time whether being an actor, putting up the set, painting, mixing and putting on make-up, selling ads for the programs, or selling tickets for the play. Our second success of the year was the Junior-Senior Prom held at the Shady Hollow Country Club, where we were feted first at a lavish smorgasbord and then en- joyed the prom. An added attraction to our prom was a Prom Queen, who was elected by secret ballot from the junior and Senior girls. This high-light was fol- lowed by an all-night party at the Y.M.C.A. where we enjoyed swimming, bowling, and square-dancing. This was followed by breakfast at the school sponsored by junior and Senior parents. The big money raising project was selling magazines in which Pat Renner acquired first prize 'for selling the most subscriptions. Other projects were the selling of Stanley products, booklets, candy, refreshments at the home basketball games and at a sale on Marion Dick's farm, shakeroos, salt and pepper shakers, and collecting tax stamps. Still under the guidance of Mrs. Keys and Mrs. Ryder we came to the year we had all been looking forward to - our Senior year at East Canton High. Of course we were happy, but we also regret the fact that this was the last of twelve exciting years at East Canton School. Our class officers who did an excellent job, were Ross Sherer, President, David Oyster, Vice- Presidentg Nadine Veit, Secretary, Kenneth Haynam, Treasurer, and Barbara Gray, Ass't. Treasurer. With the loss of Shelva Smith, Stanley Westfall, Paul Ake, Norman Metzger, Kenneth Mowery, and john Mottice our membership was reduced to fifty-three. To raise money for our class trip we collected tax stamps, sold candy, stuffed dogs, typing paper, and tablets. This year we staged The Little Dog Laughed under the direction of Mr. Powell. The annual Senior Washing- ton tour was a new venture for us. We will long re- member our first sights and impressions of the seat of our government and of the exciting experiences we had while there. The annual Junior-Senior Prom, which was held May 13, 1955, at the Shady Hollow Country Club, was followed again this year by an all-night party at the Y.M.C.A. Clark Kandel, ably assisted by Bob Kroft and the annual staff, produced for us this annual of which we are justly proud. Bac- calaureate and Commencement services were held in the high school on May 22 and 26 respectively. We must now go out and face the world on our own as we strive to build a secure and happy future.
