JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY We were Freshmen at last! In September, 19h7, we began to look forward to football games, dances, and everything seemed perfect with the exception of that little matter known as initiation. We met the challenge as bravely as possible, because the Sophomores really put us through our paces. As our sponsor for that glorious year, we chose Mrs. Shoup. Class officers were as follows: Ray Shack, president, Carolyn French, vice-president, Kay Allen, secretary, and Helen Ploucha, treasurer. After our initiation, we began to plan our first high school dance. Since it was near Thanksgiving, we chose to call our first dance the HTurkey Hopn. It was successful, and as a result, we undertook a new venture--a tobaggon party. 'April showers bring May flowersu and also rainbows, so we called our spring dance NRainbow Jamboreen. We Freshmen were represented in football by Ronald Brandt, Albert Rush, Bryce Clark, and Robert Sears. Playing basketball were Albert Rush, Verl Myers, Ray Shack, Ronald Brandt, Don Eycleshymer, Bill Canfield, and Bryce Clark. Ray Shack, Verl Myers, Albert Rush, and Robert Sears played baseball. In girls' sports we were represented by Myra Cline in basketball, and by Carolyn French, Thelma Gifford, Polly Gray, Helen Ploucha, and Joyce Reed in softball. With our Freshmen year finished, we came back to school hoping to make our Sophomore year as successful as the preceding one. Of course, first in our minds was the joyful thought of initiating the Freshmen. On the day of initiation, we made our prestige felt by the lowly Freshmen. In the evening we sponsored a dance for them, and no more than the usual number of Freshmen walked home. Our sponsor for the Sophomore year was Mrs. Rhoads. Charles Betsinger was elected president, Helen Ploucha, vice-president, Myra Cline, treasurer, and Elaine Parks, secretary. Our first activity of the year was a skating party at Hoyt Park. Playing football that year were Ray Shack, Bryce Clark, Ronald Brandt, Albert Rush, Robert Sears, and Ray Potts. Robert Sears, Ray Shack, Verl Myers, Albert Rush, Bryce Clark, Don Eycleshymer, and Ronald Brandt played basketball. Baseball candidates were Robert Sears, Verl Myers, and Ray Shack. Playing girls' basketball were Joan Baker, Joanne Butchart, and Barbara Pyne. Playing softball were Carolyn French, Joyce Reed, Helen Ploucha, and Thelma Gifford. The most exciting highlight of the school year was the arrival of our class rings. P Helen Ploucha was a Sophomore editor on the Rambler. With two years of high school experience behind us, we can now say that we are upper-classmen. To begin our Junior year, we held a class meeting at which time we chose as our sponsor, Mrs. Goddard. We chose Dick McCloy, president, Ray Shack, vice-president, Joanne Butchart, secretary, and Barbara Pyne, treasurer. Four of our number played football. They were Ray Shack, DickfMcCloy, Ronald Brandt, and Ray Potts. All of them won letters, and Dick McCloy and Ray Shack are to be captains of next year's football team. Verl Myers, Dick McCloy, Don Eycleshymer, and Ronald Brandt were on the basketball team. Joanne Butchart and Carolyn French represented the girls in basketball. Helen Ploucha, Dick McCloy, and Carolyn French are on the staff of the Rose Echo. Verl Myers, Thelma Gifford, Elaine Parks, and Dick McCloy are on the Rambler staff. Our activities for the year have been many and varied. The highlight of the year was the play, Seventeenth Summer, directed by our sponsor, Mrs. Goddard. It was a wonderful success and made us feel that the work and effort we put forth were well repaid. We are looking forward to our Senior play next year with great anticipation. We sponsored one dance this year. It was held on Friday, January 13, so we called it the nSuperstition Dancen. The sweat shirt sale conducted by us proved to be extremely popular. Those events, together with our candy sales, have proved that we Juniors can work and play. At the present time, we are going forward with our plans for the Junior-Senior banquet which is to be held on Friday, May 5. That will be our big effort for the spring season. Next year will be our last, and we hope as fine as this one. 18
