Two yea rs more to go. Gerald Decker, Beverly Blute, Dolores Pieterek, Mary Gotchling. CLASS OF 1955 the prosperous Sophomore class of i953 began the yi-.rr with another money making endeavor. We spon- -,iirilrl ont- of the first dances of the semester. Of inrrrse our Mixer was a success! Why? Because we irrrlrniir-cl our treasury We found some capable and dependable leaders in mr rlass officers' Mary Gotchling, President, Beverly itlrrre Vrie President, Jerry Decker, Secretary, Dolores Pri-ri-rek, treasurer, and Janice Dittmer, Youth Center aarnrnrrtee Mary did a fine ioh for us, and should get mrnrre ri-ioiiiritiorr for all those trips between the Siipliornnri- home roorns, keeping us informed of the lrrti-st rlasr, prolulems. lhe fall seemed to slip right along into Homecom- ing and vve had our float committee, Beverly Blute, Warren Spangler, Donald Burkett, Gerald Richardson, Donna Bowden, Nola Gray, Eleanor Burdick, and Anne Flarrdolph hard at vvork. They came up with a unique idea, a red manure spreader vvith the caption, Mile ton l1nron's Nevv Spread Formation Will Make Stough- ton Smell . Hovvever, vve did not rate a prize. December' found us half vvay through the school year, and sponsoring our second event. All students of Milton Union were invited to a roller skating party at the Ace'Hi rink in Janesville So, the Soplromores scored again. Everyone had a grand time and no one suffered a single mishap. Being an aggressive class, vve decided to try some- thing nevv. And vvith a great deal of help from Mr. Marsh vve held a Movie Dance . The feature Sitting Pretty , starring Clifton Webb, Maureen O'Hara and Robert Young, was follovved by a comedy with Abbott and Costello. All in all our gate receipts showed that over 250 tickets had been sold lvvo students left our class during the year. Gerald DeWar moved to Edgerton and John Fiedler is now serving his country in the Navy. The last impression vve left on the community, was the aroma of freshly baked goods. On April ll, at Desen's Garage, we sold pies, cakes, donuts, bread, cookies, candy, and anything else our mothers would provide. Believe it or not, Carol Erank, Helen Holmes, Kay Arnold, and Thomas Vogel, sold every crumb. PAGE TWENTY

We sto rted school not long ago, ,,,..f- xi' Judith Hall, Jean Gregoire, Ellen Munson, Judith Murphy. CLASS OF 1956 This year the Freshman class had seventy-three pu- pils. They came from Milton Graded School, Milton Junction Graded School, and the surrounding rural schools, Three came from the surrounding states- Union Mills, Indiana, Hyde Park, Illinois, and Chickaska, Oklahoma. At the beginning ofthe year we had seven- ty-five pupils, then six left school, and four more en- rolled, leaving seventy-three, the largest class in school. There were three Freshman homerooms with Mr, Colbert, Miss Juneau, and Mrs. Kaney as home- room advisers. We elected Ellen Munson, President, Judy Hall, Vice- President, Jean Gregoire, Secretary, and Judith Mur- phy, Treasurer. To earn money for the class, we sponsored a Sadie Hawkins Sock Hop which took place on Saturday night, December 6, netting 524110. At the last basketball game, the Freshmen sold candy bars, gum and fudge sickles which added 54.05 to our treasury. At the beginning of the year we voted 25C dues per month, later the pupils thought them too high and voted to make the dues S125 per year. We also voted to have our meetings every other week, but due to the fact that there were so many other activities, meetings were not held. Freshmen boys and girls took part in the annual class basketball tournaments. A large percentage of the pupils played in the A Band, Six girlsetwo from Mr. Colbert's room, Judith Hall and Suzanne Goessling, and four from Miss Juneau's homeroom, Jean Gregoire, Mardell Cashore, Judith Murphy, and Sheila Decker, were chosen as cheerleaders. Two of our classmates- Frank McCulloch and Jack O'Neil, played on the bas- ketball squad. Our members contributed very well to the March of Dimes, sold a large percentage of the magazines during the annual magazine campaign with Hildreth Moberly as top seller ot the entire student body, and in March two Freshmen, Donald Link and Catherine Hanauska, were top salesmen for the Courier in the Courier drive for benefit of the Blackhawk. We planned many activities, but due to inexperience these were not carried through, but when we are sophomores our plans will probably be carried out. PAGE TWENTY-TWO
