Magnani: Senior Class: Thirty-eight dignified and attractive students compose the class of '57. Mr. Nickles carefully supervises the senior home room located next to the office. They have contributed their share of honor roll students, band members, bulletin workers, and participants in sports. They held the Halloween Dance which attracted one of the largest crowds of the year. Another project was the concession stand at the football games. Nearly all the seniors helped out. They not only had a good time but also made themselves a little money. No one will ever forget those delicious hot dogs and cups of steaming hot coffee served by the fair senior lads and lasses. The weather could be cold, wet, or snowy but those seniors with Mrs. Orr and Miss Nichols manned the concession stand so that the spectators would not be hungry or thirsty. Bob Wagner and Roy Caldwell really deserve a vote F. Henderson: B. Heap: Mr. Nickels. W. Jones: S. Martin. A ABSENT: I. Bobko: G. Flickingerl' of thanks for carrying many large pots of coffee for a few tiring hours without complaining. A play, AUNT CATHIE'S CAT, presented on March 22, 1957, attracted a large audience who thoroughly appreciated the acting ability of the seniors. The students really enjoyed portraying their parts. Who will ever forget Mary Cummings as Aunt Cathie, Jim Hurst as the Spaniard, and Bill Jones as the dead body ? They also spent large sums of money for pictures, name cards, announcements, yearbooks, and other senior must-haves. Of course, they had research themes, and one thing they'll never forget is Mrs. Chisnell's themes and book reviews. Shorthand classes in room eighteen with Mrs. Mabon dictating will be recalled by the commercial students long after graduation. Mr. Spinelli's lectures and discussions of the latest world crises in P.O. D. classes will also bring back many memories. Most of all, the co-operation and patience of Mr. Tarris will remain in their minds for many years to come. Left to Right: M. Kline, I. Garland, T. Parsha, President . . . . Gorirossl, Miss Nichols.
