Qfcbtaw The title of our class song has much significance for this year's 42 graduating seniors. Moments to Remem- ber -- yes, those are the intangible souvenirs of our twelve years of school which have been given to us by the faculty, administration, and students of Harris-Elmore. We remember that September morning in 1945 when 42 well-scrubbed boys and girls walked through the door of that mysterious building called the schoolhouse and began the portion of their education which was to terminate in 1957. How far off that date seemedl However, the years have flown by, and now, as seniors, we look back in time to the years we have spent in the new very familiar building. Under the watchful eyes of Miss Grace Myers, Mrs. Mildred Arnold, Miss Mattie Heckman, Mrs. Mabel Rozine, Mrs. Garnet Weber, and Mrs. Helen Mercer, we successfully finished the first six years of our school- ing. We often chuckle over memories of cowboy and Indian games, our second grade kitchen band, our pro- duction of The Princess Who Couldn't CryJ spelling contests, our ability to fight about any little thing, and the arts and crafts we all-lovg. We were proud to sing at the dedication of the new auditorium in 1951. Our memories of the seventh and eighth grades are of the usual tween-age activities -- changing classes, more homework, our first dances, and parties. ln the seventh grade the class held a Halloween party at Lowell Knieriem's home and gave the Thanksgiving assembly. ln the eighth grade we had o Christmas party at Bill Kuhlman's home fit was here that we realized what mistletoe was forlj and gave another successful assembly. Both years we enjoyed the annual 7-8 grade party. It was in this period that the class members began to be recognized for their scholastic, athletic, and musical abilities. As freshmen we came back to school to find that eight students from Benton Township had joined us for the remaining four years. This year our Halloween party was at Janet Kuhlman's farm. We had many hearty laughs over the ridiculous outfits those initiated into G.A.A. and F.F.A. wore to school. We sponsored a successful dance and gave an assembly entitled The Millionaire Family. The sophomore year ranks high in our memories because we had home room in study hall with the junior class of that year. Again this year we sponsored a dance and gave an assembly entitled A Day in the Life of a Typical Harris-Elmore Student. We returned as juniors flashing the class rings we had received during the summer. Our play was entitled A Ghost On The Loose. We remember also the many hours we spent in the lower halls preparing decorations for the Juiolnior Prom, for which we chose the theme Neptune's Garden. Of course the evening of the Prom was memorable in itself. The latest memories we have are those from our senior year. Although we were always an active class, this year seemed busier than ever. We enjoyed preparing and presenting the play, Ten O'Clock Scholar. The Prom, Fairyland Romance, given in our honor, was an unforgettable evening. We lma enjoyed choosing pic- tures, invitations, namecards, and all the other things essential to graduation. The Class of 1957 leaves behind it an outstanding record of achievement, both in scholastic and extra-curricular fields. However, we will also be remembered for our ability to get into mischief and to get ourselves out of the punishment for mischief donel Yes, we have many moments to remember, and the ones which will probably remain utmost in our minds will be those of baccalaureate and commencement exercises of this year. Although we have the some number in the class now as we had in the first grade, only 18 of the original class will graduate this year. Our class motto states our feelings at this time -- The past forever gone, the future still our own. t ,mmm fi 4 , Q lrlIltlXX 3,5 .55 ,,f,.2- . IIIBYAIHA :ff :ff Wi: UIISQIBI 1?
