Class History Way back in 1953, fifty-seven students started on the long, rewarding high school career. Starting school was a fascinating experience to most of them, and each was on his way to new and exciting adventures. That year Mr. Firks and Miss Rentschler were our sponsors, everybody paid his dues, and Don Cooper was at the helm of the ninth grade ship. Bob McClain controlled the vice-president's chair, and Miriam Targgart was secre- tary. Of our meager finances, Bob Hicks was placed in command. On October 12, Barbara Adair and Marge Hover withdrew from school to attend elsewhereg this left fifty-five and proves that I can subtract. The class planned to go to a hockey game at Fort Wayne on December 12th, and we went too, which was sur- prising. Our candidates for King and Queen were Jim Jackson and Nancy Reed. In the same meeting the honorable Ro- bert Hicks reported that he was custodian of the mighty sum of Z'550.00. As the one and only money making project the class of '57 had a bake sale at Cooper's Hardware. The sale was successful netting us a grand total of S60.00. We ended up with ll'7.00 and fifty-three prospective sopho- rnores. Sophomores! Well, we were at least upper classmen to somebody. Fifty-two started in 1954, forty-five fin- ished. I guess that it was just one of those things. John Hoshaw was elected to head the sophomore administration. Harold Patrick was given control of our Sll'7.00, Miriam again swept the secretarial election, and Marge Hover filled the vice-presidency. Mr. Firks was again the sponsor. A hot discussion developed over the class sweaters, and I don't know why, but no one seems to be wearing theirs anymore. Remember they were light blue with royal blue trim that gave the wearer what I thought was a repulsive feeling. The King and Queen of that year were Jerry Lee and Estella Hutchings. Our main money making project in the sophomore year was selling Christmas cards and wrappingsg this proved quite successful. A few parties were also held in the gym. This year seemed to go very quickly, and most of us were juniors before we knew it. Don Cooper was elected president for the junior year with Linda Johnson as vice-president. A new member of the teaching staff, Mr. Fleck, and Miss Kelley were appointed as our advisors. Forty-five started the third year of high school with Miriam Targgart in charge of their S2'7O.l3. Janet Orewiler kept the secretary's record and did a good job too. The class rings were ordered, and then Mr. Theophilus Nachowitz came. The annual jtmior mag- azine campaign made us 3829.00 profit which fattened the treasury to a good little sum of fBl099.l3. This was the year that nobody could find 32.00 to pay the class dues. Dale Sprunger had the big New Year's Eve party. Maxine Richard finally received her drivers license, and the candy that was left over from the candy sales was mysteriously eaten. We sold concessions at the ball games, and at every class meeting there were bills for one thing or another. The class play, STRICTLY FORMAL, was a big success. Then came the banquet and prom. As Mr. Flecksaid, It was rough! The banquet was held at Foo and Fayes in Syracuse. John Hoshaw was M.C., and Mr. Carper was the featured speaker. Remember it rained that night of May ll, 1956--or should I say it poured? On the day be- fore when the decorations started to sag, the moral suddenly fell to an all-time low, but it was just one of those things. It turned out to be a real big night and we think one of the best proms given. Out of the forty-five that started the junior year, forty-three finished which wasn't too bad. Four withdrew, and Maxine Richard, the girl with two first names, and Connie Cripe were added to the roll. Forty-one seniors entered the hallowed halls of L.H.S. in 1956g the number dwindled to thirty-nine and should stay there unless someone gets married or joins the army. The senior year was the best year of high school. The Little Las Vegas Club came into being, Neil Money- bags Griffith's fan club held its first meeting, and as Jim Freed grew older, he grew louder. The class play, MY FRIEND IRMA, was more fun than a barrel of monkeys. A few of our money making projects were selling candy, sponsoring record hops, and having a car wash. These all helped carry us part of the way on the class trip that had been in the planning all year. The senior officers were Leland Miller, presidentg Leonard Miller, vice-president, fthey had a monopoly on thingsjg Marge Hover, secretaryg and Barbara Staton, treasurer. Mrs. Anderson and Mr. Longenbaugh were the ad- visors for our last year. Finally that long awaited day arrived and our goal was reached--it was graduation day. As we passed through the portals of L.H.S. as students for the last time, we could almost see and hear the memories of the four years be- fore. The past seemed to come before .ls but with new hopes and ambitions for the future. John Hoshaw
