Under the guidance of our advisors, Miss Dufelmeier and Mr. Auguston, we, the Class of '55, started off our first year in Walnut Community High School with high ambitions and great expecta- tions. Our class selected the following members to act as our officers for the first year: Joe Waterhouse, president, Phyllis Carpenter, vice-president, and Nancy Andersen, secretary-treasurer. ln addition to the above class officers, we selected the following Student Council representa- tives: Senator-Don Christensen, Representatives first semester-Agnes Lauritzen, Diane Wangelin, Gary Buzzard, Representatives second semester-Kay Brandenburg, Bob Geldean, Dennis Snider. After the first frightful days in which we learned the rules of the school, we became acquainted with our new classmates and found our various classrooms. We were also informed of the coming initiation. This event turned out to be a lot of fun and no one was killed. The Freshmen seem to be tops in money making. Our biggest project was the Magazine Campaign in which Bruce Carr was our super salesman. We have also successfully carried out other projects such as preparing the food for the Homecoming Dance, and decorating the gym for the Leap Year Party. Our class has been well represented in athletics, since we have twelve of our boys out for football and eight out for basketball. We are also well represented in Music with seventeen in our band and an equally good record in both boys' and girls' chorus. I
