class hlS1IOl2 The high school career of the 'Class of '56' began in the fall of 1952. One of the first orders of business was to elect class officers. Bruce McCormick was elected presidentg Larry Schmitzer, vice-presidentg Gretchen Shouse, secretary: and Thelma Feher, treasurer. Mrs. Rhoads was elected class sponsor. The class went through initiation with flying colors--red lipstick and black shoe polish. Chloe Polcik, the freshmen candidate, was elected queen of the Harvest Festival in November. The second dance was held in April, 1953, and for variety the class sold fruit unch. p The year ended with the usual trip to Lake Lansing. The following year the class, as sophomores, looked forward to initiation day when they could, at last, seek revenge. But first, officers were elected. Bruce McCormick was again elected president with Jack Clolinger as vice-presidentg Jackie Aldred as secretary, and Thelma Feher again elected treasurer. Mrs. Rhoads was chosen class sponsor to guide the HClass of '56H to the end of their high school career. Initiation day was next on the agenda and on that day innumerable comic strip characters appeared on the school premises. Could they be those lowly freshmen? This was the year when the first homecoming game was sponsored by the student council. Ellen Larkin, the sophomore candidate, was elected queen. In sports, the baseball championship was won and a track team was organized. The year ended with most of the class wearing their newly-purchased class rings. FOP the year 195K-55, officers were elected as follows: Joe Newlon, president, Gale Eastwood, vice-presidentg Joan Harger, secretary, and Gerald Shook, treas- urer. Dan Shepard was vice-president of the student council, which sponsored the second homecoming game. Again a candidate, Norma Crandall, brought home the laurels to the nClass of '56H. In November, Dan Shepard reigned as king of the Harvest Festival. Among the money-making activities was the sale of popcorn during football and basketball games. The juniors sold magazine subscriptions, too, to supplement their senior trip. A new plaque was added to the schoo1's trophy case as a result of the wget-up-and-gon of these sales. The football championship was captured this year by Montrose and Chuck Duncan, Bruce McCormick, and Frank Rood were chosen all-county. In baseball, Jack Clolinger made the all-county team.
