eniot 61444 -ffbtoty The graduating class of '57 entered A. H. S. in '53 with 27 members. Our first high school class officers were elected proudly. With Mr. Nelson as our class advisor we chose Claire Dykes, President, Ross Dykes, Vice-President, Anna Geiszler, Secretary, Barbara Thayer, Representative, and Lee Thomas, Sgt. at Arms. On September 18, we were made full-fledged Pirates after a rough but enjoyable initiation. To prove we were good sports, we presented the Frosh Return in the Spring. Deep Lake was the scene of the class picnic on the last day of school. As Sophomores we were 26 members, having lost Sharon Kerrigan and Don Fertig but gaining Afton Johnson from Centralia. However in the middle of the year we were sorry to lose Claire and Ross Dykes. After electing Alan Waltar, President, Lee Thomas, Vice-President, Afton Johnson, Secretary, Joanne Balsley, Representative, and Don Haase, Sgt. at Arms with Mr. Nelson again our advisor, we proceeded to initiate the new Freshmen.- During the year we enjoyed two or three class parties ending with the last day picnic again at Deep Lake. Now as upperclassmen we were again 24 in number having lost Bob Norman but gain- ing Elsworth Fernen from Seattle. Miss Aumann became our advisor and we again, elected class officers. Elected to serve were Ken Wilson, President, Fred Ambsdorf, Vice-President, Edith Geiszler, Secretary, Ellen Toporke, Representative, and Lee Thomas, Sgt. at-Arms. With much ado and as a great success we presented our Junior Prom with Stairway to the Stars as our theme. In the Spring everyone's talent became known as we present- ed One Big Happy Family in grand style. The class again joined each other at Deep Lake at the end of the school year for the annual last day school picnic. Twenty-one proud Seniors entered the A. H, S. Halls for the last time on September 4, 1956. We were sorry to see that Joe Morgan, Mary Courtney and Iris Norman had left our ranks. The first business of elections was settled with electing Don Haase, President, Walter Geiszler, Vice-President, Mary Simonds, Secretary, Ala.n Waltar, Representative, and Lee Thomas, Sgt. at-Arms. Ken Wilson was our able Student Body Prexy, and Mr. Robinson served as class advisor. In 'the fall our talents again came out in Headin For The Hills which of course, was a huge success. Miss Anne Rankin served as advisor for this play with Don Haase as our brilliant student director. During November ma.ny Seniors suffered from sore feet and almost frostbite after sell- ing many annual ads during three days in town. In the Spring came that educating and enjoyable Senior Trip to Seattle at which everyone seemed to have had fun. Four Seniors were very happy to skip a day of school and journey to the University for a Leadership Conference. The two final events, long looked forward to, were Baccalaureate and Graduation which showed we had at last reached the end of the climb, or is it the beginning? The class of '57 has entered into the past at good old A. H. S. but we trust we will be remembered. U Il 15
