Class Histozgf In the ignition stage of our four-stage rocket of high school, eighty-four freshmen organized in Sep- tember 1959 and elected Hugh Markham, presi- dent, and Cheryl Shinsing, vice-president, Carol Penta, secretary, Nancy Facer, treasurer, and James Malone, assembly committee representative. Class advisors were Mrs. Elizabeth Loveless, Mr. Lawrence Carr, and Mr. John Sweeney. A dance, the Fall Frolic was held on November 6. As a second money making project, the class sponsored a bake sale on May 14. Seventy-seven sophomores carried the class for- ward in the blast-off stage of the rocket. The chosen officers were Edwin Schoen, president, Margaret Albury, vice-president, Sherry Randall, secretary, Richard Opdyke, treasurer, and Dorothy Trickler, assembly committee representative. On November 4, a dance, the Sock-Nik was held and on April 7, the class sponsored a roller skating party. Seventy juniors elected Tedde Jones, president, Marsha Butler, vice-president, Sherry Randall, secretary, Richard Opdyke, treasurer, and Donald Derleth, assembly committee representative to be the vanguard of the third stage of our rocket. The class regretted losing Mr. Carr and Mr. Sweeney as advisors but welcomed Miss Marie Morrison and Mr. Joseph Silver. Class rings were chosen in Also in December we held a roller skating party. On March 30 Our T owni' was presented as the junior play. To -end our activities as juniors, on May 25, the junior prom, Kaleidoscope Kotillion, was held providing a challenge for the class and delightful entertainment for those who attended. To lead in the final stage in the four-stage rocket of high school that attempted to put us successfully into the orbit of adult society, sixty-four seniors elected Hugh Markham, president, Curtis Kelsey, vice-president, Sandra Conley, secretary, and Rich- ard Opdyke, treasurer. Lois McCann was appoint- ed representative on the assembly committee. Early in the year the major money making project, the magazine drive, took place. Besides boosting the treasury, valuable lessons in salesmanship and accurate accounting were learned by those who participated. On November 9, the senior play, Charm School, was presented. On December 7, the class sponsored a roller skating party. Crystal Cascade, or senior ball, held on December 21, was the climax of our social events and the last class project. December, and after weeks of impatient waiting, we were proud to start wearing them in February.
