' OF 1957 Charlie Fibbe, president. Jr H ', l Early in September l953, we as freshmen set camp at the bottom of Mt. Graduation. Our guides for this year were Mr. Boland, homeroom teacher, and John Kirschner, class president, and under their leadership we sponsored the first social event of our high school career-Harvest Hop. Selling red and white beanies helped us finance our expedition. Half way up the first slope of the mountain, we stopped to participate in the first IH basketball homecoming with Alahna Weller as freshman attendant. Another important event on our climb was the Pow Wow, soon followed by a cast party. As we came closer to the end of our first climb, we held the Frosh Fracas, a dance at which George and Marilu Case from WSAI spun our favorite records. The last big events of the year were Recognition Day and a high school picnic at Sharon Woods. Our second advance up Mt. Graduation was led- by Mr. West and Mr. Vian, homeroom teachers, and John Kirschner, newly-re-elected president, We were ioined, for the first time, by the game of football, which was to become a part of our daily lives. Home football games were played at Madeira, where the first IH football homecoming took place and Sally McLennan was sophomore attendant. We took advantage of the football games by selling red and white paper shakers. The G.A.A. Sno-Ball was our first high school semi-formal dance of the year. At the second annual basketball homecoming, Mary Andersen represented the sophomores. Shortly after Recognition Day in June, we reached the half-way point in our climb. Early in September 1955, we again continued our climb, guided by Mrs. Steele and Mr. Mahan, homeroom teachers, and Jim Crane, class president. The highlight of our sports life came when lH's two-year old football team beat Harrison, a team which had been undefeated for three years. Joyce Reith was chosen as iunior attendant for the second annual football homecoming. Selling Christmas cards and buying class rings were highlights of our iunior year. With winter came the annual G.A.A. semi-formal and an open house at Carol Wilkening's for iuniors. Accompanying winter came basketball homecoming with Charlene Hartline as iunior attendant. Every Family Has One, our iunior class play, was presented early in May. Soon afterward we demon- strated our ability to transform the gym into the scene of a celestial ball. Following the Junior-Senior Prom dance, a worship service was held after which we cruised down the Ohio River on the Johnston Party Boat. At dawn we proceeded to breakfast and, after a few hours of sleep, to Winton Woods for a picnic. To make our iunior year complete, the student council made arrangements for the first annual Bermuda Day. The summit of Mt. Graduation was in sight as, in September 1956, we began our senior year. New to both us and the school were our homeroom teachers, Mr. Atherton and Miss Graham while Charlie Fibbe took over as class president. In order to reach the top with flying colors, we sold IH decals and book covers. ln October we seniors posed for our pictures. Also in October, Sally McLennan reigned as football queen while Joyce Reith was senior attendant. We Were Young That Year, our senior class play, was presented in the fall. Later the Sno-Ball dance was followed by an open house for seniors at Carol Wilkening's. With winter came the basketball homecoming at which Carol Wilkening, our queen on crutches, was crowned, and Charlene Hartline was senior representative in the court. March marked the last Pow Wow in which we could participate. To help us remember this Pow Wow, the senior girls danced to cowboy and mambo music. Later senior girls were honored at a tea given by the newly-formed Y-Teens. With the month of May began our last steps up the mountain. The class of '57 enioyed the first senior class trip in the history of IH. A week in New York was filled with excitement and fun! As Baccalaureate came closer, we realized that our high school career was coming to a definite end. On May 29 we conquered our long climb to Mt. Graduation as we received our diplomas. Although our lives have now separated, we can always look down the mountain and remember the days we had at lndian Hill High School. lt was well worth the four-year climb of fun and hard work to reach such a thrilling moment as Graduation!
