SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Just a few years ago, on a bright Sep- tember morning, you might hove seen one of us, dressed in his best, with o pencil and tablet under one arm, standing in front of his house waiting for the school bus. Or, if we lived in town, you might have seen a shining face and new attire on one of us as he panted up that long Market Street hill. This was such a happy day—we were starting to school. We were entering a new world. The next six years we were to spend learning the fundamentals—read- ing, writing and arithmetic. Then we had quite a jump from grade school to junior high. We met many new friends from the other Logan grade schools. Soon, the barriers between East, West, and Central were broken down in all the excitement and we were beginning to feel like one grand bunch. In junior high we changed classes and had a different teacher for each subject just as the big juniors and seniors did. This really made us feel big. Our freshman year came—the real begin- ning of high school. This year our class became even larger with all the freshmen from the country schools and the Parochial school coming into our junior high. And then we had our first great class election—president, Ronna Vollmer; vice president, Jim Warthman; secretary, Norma Fickel; and treasurer, Ronnie Brandon. We also had our first high school organization, Teen- timers. And, of course, to end our first big year, we had the Freshman Dance. Our world was expanding as we left junior high and entered senior high as sophomores. Over here the big seniors made us feel like the lowest form of living matter. But after we were invited to attend the Football and Basketball Dances and the Prom, we felt more like students of senior high. This year our class officers were: Norma Fickel, president; Ronnie Brandon, vice president; Carol Anne Risch, secretary; and Joyce Thompson, treasurer. Now we were well on our way to becoming seniors, but we still had one more stage through which to pass—our junior year. We elected Ronnie Brandon, president; Carol Anne Risch, vice president; Norma Fickel, secretary; and Jeanne Bowen, treasurer. We entered every field of activity. But our greatest activity of the year was earning money, for, you know, we wanted to entertain the class of '51 with a banquet and prom. By selling class rings and Christmas cards we were able to have the best prom and banquet that had ever been held at Logan High. After the departure of the class of '51, we were seniors at last. There were a hundred and thirty-one of us. We organized, choosing Ronnie Brandon, president; Ronna Vollmer, vice presi- dent; Norma Fickel, secretary; and Joyce Thompson, treasurer. This year we were going to relax and just coast a little. After all, were not seniors to have some special privileges? Well, we had privileges but these privileges con- sisted of mainly more responsibilities. Our teachers knew our weaknesses better than we did. They tried to put as much as possible into our courses of study so that we could better meet life's needs and could prepare for the next big jump whether it be more education or a position in life. There were themes, reports, pro- jects, and scholarship tests. But, too, there was fun in clubs, parties and dances. We had de- lightful Football and Basketball Dances and a wonderful Prom. For twelve years we have trudged the path that has led up hill. We have acquired some knowledge which will help to fit us for our future tasks. We are reluctant to break away from the pleasant associations we have had with our teachers and schoolmates. However, we hope to take our places in the ranks of those who are working to build a better world. Carol Anne Risch, fourth honor student
