Class History — 1962 By Elaine Jones “V ou ’ the seniors of 1962 should remember that day four years ago when you entered high school. After eight years of diligent preparation in the three R’s, we eagerly, but also a bit warily, looked forward to our first day as high school freshmen. Our freshman year was full of excitement and new experiences. Homecoming was the first important event. Our float entry was “The 49’s,” and Georgianna Ross- miller was chosen as an attendant in the queen’s court. We also elected our class officers. Charles Schrader was chosen president; Terry Russell, vice-president; William Taylor, secretary: and Janice Van Horn, treasurer. Summer vacation ended all too quickly, and before we knew it we were hack in school—but now as sophomores. By this time we had become used to high school procedures and had settled down to some serious studying. “Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears!” could be heard in the halls of P.H.S. as we studied Julius Caesar. Our homecoming attendant that year was Eileen Brockway, and our float was “TV Time.” Our class officers were Janice Van Horn, president; James Kemmerer, vice-president; Keith Stenzel, secretary; and Pamela Sandvall, treasurer. For the first time frosh-soph cheerleaders were chosen, and Elaine Jones and Susan Raddatz made the squad. We had already started worrying about making money for the prom by checking coats at games, plays, and concerts. As we entered school again in September 1960, after our three-month summer vacation, we had a different air about us. Now we were upperclassmen. To lead us through that busy year we chose Terry Russell, president; Regina George, vice- president; Larry Kachel, secretary; and James Kemmerer, treasurer. For the theme of our homecoming float we chose a quotation from Macbeth, “Double, double, toil and trouble, fires burn and cauldrons bubble.” Janice Van Horn was the junior homecoming attendant, and Judy Schempf was elected a cheerleader. For our junior class play we presented a three-act comedy, The Unguided Miss. The highlight of the year was the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. An out- door cafe and a starlit sky done in pink and lavender beautifully portrayed our theme, “Paris By Night.” Then at last we were seniors. We had reached the top-rung in the ladder. Chosen as president for the Class of ’62 was Gary Pemble; vice-president, Janice Van Horn; secretary, Rebecca Connell: and treasurer. Sue Smiley. We were especially proud of our prize-winning homecoming float, “The Family Portrait. Janice Van Horn reigned as queen of the homecoming festivities, and Regina George was her senior attendant. The senior-faculty game, the musical Oklahoma!, sports, dances, and club ac- tivities made the months pass quickly. In April the curtain rose for the presentation of our senior class play, Thunder on Sycamore Street. Our high school days had been filled with hard work and loads of fun. We looked to the future with mixed emotions. As we eighty-six seniors donned our caps and gowns for that final commencement exercise, we realized, “We have crossed the bay, the ocean lies before us.” 22
