Senior Class History We, the class of 1958, entered High School in the fall of 54, as a quiet class of thirty-three members. Our able class officers started us on a fine road. They were: Larry Williams, President; Edward Gerdes, Vice-President; and Mary Lou Hoge, Secretary-Treasurer. Miss Wandling and Mr. Vlieger were our advisors. Our Senator to Student Council was Cliff Bohm and our Representatives were Lois Ed-son, Harold Anderson, Maureen McCarthy, and Mary Ann Keleher. We struggled through Freshman Inititation, learning that the Seniors could be pretty good chaps. We enjoyed a fine trip to Chicago sponsored by Gonigam, Bass, and Hill Company. On this trip we visited the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago Airport, International Harvester Plant, and the International Livestock Show. Our money making schemes included selling popcorn at ball games, a St. Patrick's Day Box Social and numerous other small projects. Our sophomore year was another year of much fun. Eddie Gerdes stepped up to relieve Larry Williams as President. Mary Lou Hoge served as Vice-President and Lois Edson as Secretary-Treasurer. Miss Donnelly and Mr. Hatland were our advisors. Larry Williams became our Senator and Betty Middleton, Larry Conley, Don VonHolten and Carol Sue Krager were Representatives. Our magazine sale was our chief project with Arlene Kuhnert as our top saleswoman. We won a first prize with our float in the Homecoming Parade and also had the honor of decorating for the Homecoming Dance. That year we lost Bob Hassler, Roberta Crane, Stanley Olson, and Paul Reising. Our Junior year was a very full year for us. Our President was Cliff Bohm, Vice-President, Lois Edson, and Secretary-Treasurer Carol Sue Krager. Our Senator to Student Council was Maureen McCarthy, Representatives were, Harold Anderson, Mary Lou Hoge, Eddie Gerdes, and Grace Blackert. Our Advisors were Miss Donnelly and Mr. Hat-land. We ran a consession stand at the ball games to increase our money belt. The Raider Smoke Signals which appeared in the Walnut Leader was published by our class. A Boy Named Beulah,” our play of that year was a huge success. We also enjoyed putting on the Junior Senior Banquet in honor of the Seniors. A great deal of enjoyment was brought about for us from that one great night. Now as Almighty Seniors we anticipate a fine year under the leadership of our President Larry Williams, Vice-President Don Von Holten, Treasurer Betty Sash, and Secretary Lois Edson. We are represented in Student Council by Harold Anderson-Senator and Carol Sue Krager Representative. Cliff Bohm is President of Student Council and Katherine Weerts is Secretary-Treasurer. Our best project of the year was Christmas card sales. —25—
