Officers for the freshman year were Paul Peake, president, Donald Treadwell- vice-president, Ann DeWandel, secretary: Janice Phillips, treasurer, Dale Gelder, assembly committee representative. With the help of our three advisors, Miss Kathryn S-chuster, Mr.. Arlon Wilber, and Mrs. Esther Worden, the class made plans for a bake sale in November. In Januafry the class presented an assembly in the form of a talent show. A round a11d square dance which proved to be an -enjoyable experience was held in April. The next year the sophomores elected the -followingofficers: Do-nald Tread- well, president, Mary Lyon, vice-president, Marcia Kenyon, secretary, Robert Whitson. treasurer, Virginia Madigan, assembly committee representative. That year a new advisor, Miss -June Witzel, replaced Miss Schust-er and Mrs Esther Wor- den who left Phelps. A 4 A Our senior trip was only two years away, so we turned our thoughts to making more money. Two one-act plays, Bobby Sox and It's Cold in Them Thar 1-fills were presented on Jafnuary 29th. They were a complete success. Bake sales were held in March. An entirely new project of the year was a sock dance, held on May 14th. With the first two years of four high school career now behind us, we looked forward to our junior year and the long awaited class rings. As juniors, our class had about 560 members. The first big job was to elect officer-s. The .following were fchosen: Janice Phillips, president, Mary Lyon, vice- presidentg Ann DeWandel, secretary, Robert Whitson, treasurer, John Maslyn, assembly committee representative. At last, in Novemlber, the time had come to order class rings. After many long mo-nths of waiting, they arrived in April. The first money-making project was a series- of bake sales held in February and March. Paris, France was the setting of a very successful Junior Prom on May' 20. It was well attended and proved to be a good financial boost.. Our year was drawing to a closer. The metropolis of New York and gradu- ation were j-ust around the corner. In the fall of '55, forty-five seniors assembled to elect the officers who would carry us down the home stretch in a very exciting year. These officers- were Robert Hofer, president, Donald Treadwell, vice-president, Ann DeWandel, secretary, Robert Whitson, treasure-r'g and John Rector, assembly committee representative. The first big boost to our treasury was the magazine drive. During the year refreshments were sold at the basketball games. To keep in step with the times, the class held roller skating parties which provided rolling fun for all. On December 21, Silver Bells, the annual Senior hall was held. Despite the zero temperatures, many came to enjoy the dance and get Warm. In April our trip to New York became a reality. It wa-s a wonderful experience. For the forty-five members of the class who had worked so hard, the trip was the most memorable event of our high school days. We all agree it was well worth the work. Now that our school days are drawing to an end, we realize much of our suc- cess is due to our two advisors, Mr. Wilber, who helped us through those difficult four years, and Miss Witzel, whose guidance through our last two years gave us the much needed help in our high school career. n S21
