Carnival Coronation A pretty fall day, four beautiful floats, and four lovely queen candidates were combined on Saturday afternoon to make an impressive parade. Returning from the parade the freshmen were delighted to find their float had taken first. They had also taken first in the ticket sales. Excitement reigned supreme at the carnival as all classmen worked hard to make their candi- date I. H. S. queen and to make the carnival a success. The climax of the evening was the coronation of Miss Sue Higdon, the Junior candidate, as 1. H. S. queen. 12 CARNIVAL QUEEN: ESCORT: Sue Higdon Allan Vasterling RETIRING QUEEN: Hilda Jones ESCORT: Walter Spitzmiller 13 FRESHMAN FLOAT: Madam Butterfly First Place SOPHOMORE CANDIDATE: Carolyn Leach ESCORT: Joe Ricketts III FLOAT COLORS: Blue, pink, and white 14 SOPHOMORE FLOAT: Over The Waves Fourth Place JUNIOR CANDIDATE: Sue Higdon ESCORT: Allan Vasterling FLOAT COLORS: Red and white JUNIOR FLOAT: Three Coins In The Fountain' Third Place SENIOR CANDIDATE: Kay Adams FLOAT COLORS: Purple, orchid, and white ESCORT: Linden Mann 16 SENIOR FLOAT: Swan Song Second Place 17 Queen candidates presenting trophies basketball tournament.

Our monthly meetings were varied and in- teresting. We succeeded in electing Dorothy Bryson sub-district president, Sue Higdon district secretary, and Carol Lashley state project chairman. F. H. A.

The primary aim of the F. F. A. organization is the development of agriculture, leadership, co-operation, and good and worthwhile farmers of the future. The sponsor this year, Mr. Webb, has helped the boys make their many projects successful. The Student Council under the leadership of their capable president, Jake Tims, and sponsor, Mr. Brinkopf, was very successful in carrying out their many projects this year. The officers elected were vice-president, Gerald Rencehausen; secretary and treasurer, Dorothy Bryson. Working to- gether the council planned and carried out projects which included: (1) rural visitation, (2) Christmas decorations, (3) Easter assembly, (4) clean-up day. 35 BACK ROW: Mr. Brinkopf, C.

Her two attendants, also chosen by the Tigers, were Carolyn Leach and Patty Callisto. Jim Vickery, Jake Tims, and Sonny Walker es- corted the queen and her attendants to the black and gold throne. Our heartiest congratulations to the girls who are loyal supporters of the Tigers and very deserving of the honor bestowed upon them. 36 Tiger Talks Staff The Tiger Talks Staff this year, with the help of Mrs. Lewis has worked hard to produce our school pa- per.

Membership is based on leadership, scholarship, character and service. The Society's chief aim, other than to honor students, is to strive to inspire higher ideals in the students of Ironton High School. STANDING: K. Adams, G. Rencehausen, C. Earls, J. Tims. SITTING: C.

Carol and Jake both rank high scholastically. They are active in most of the extra-curricular ac— tivitie s. They have held responsible positions in many organizations. We think Carol and Jake are most deserving of this honor.

They also came in first in the ticket sales, and third place in the queen contest. We were represented on the basketball team by one freshman. There were six freshman girls on the volleyball team, and ten freshman students in the A band, and four students in the B band. There were also two freshman students who entered the Cape Contest. April 13, there was an all school dance, sponsored by the freshman and senior classes, which was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.

Some of these are new and we see a few empty places of our friends who have moved. With the help of our sponsors. Miss Conrad, Mr. Stringer, Mr. Schief, Mr. Hunt, and Mr. Guthrie we tried to make this year a success. At carnival time the boys chose charming Carolyn Leach to represent our class on our float Over the Waves which was carried out in our colors, blue and white. During the year we sponsored many functions. We held a bake sale, work day, and skating party. Our class is well represented in school activities as well as scholastically. We have members of our class in the choruses, volleyball, basketball, baseball, band, F. F. A., F. H. A., Tiger Talks, Tiger Staff, and above all many on the honor roll.

The Junior play, Two Dates for Tonight, was received well by students and the peo- ple in town. The director, Mrs. Scott, received many compliments. On May 4, the Juniors sponsored the Junior-Senior Prom. The theme this year was “Faraway Places . The pretty decorations and smooth music made the prom a success. Many Juniors took part in basketball, volleyball, baseball, the choruses, band, F. F. A., F. H. A., Tiger staff, and several were on the honor roll every quarter. We were proud that Gerald Rencehausen, our president, was elected for student council president next year. We are sure he will do a good job.

After three successful years in school 67 students returned for their senior year. Their sponsors for this year were Mr. Grayum, Mr. Webb, Mrs. Lewis, and Miss Reese. The first project of the year, magazine sales, became a great success when the seniors went over their goal to sell $1550.61 worth of magazines. They also did well on candy sales. An excellent record was made in the carnival when Kay Adams, our queen, and “Swan Song , our float, placed second. The senior play, Guess Again was presented on April 26, 1957, and was en- joyed by everyone. One of the most outstanding events of this year was our senior trip taken the week before school was out. On May 23, 1957, 64 seniors received their diplomas or certificates. The seniors on the honor roll or honorable mention all four years were Ann Parton, James Tripp, Jake Tims, Carol Earls, Ann Pearson, and Norma Chambers.

Jesse Pearson . . . R. L. Edgar . . Kathleen Marr We know of no better way to record and preserve the highlights of the school year than by means of the school annual. It is with a great deal of pride that we have watched the growth of each issue of THE TIGER since 1945. This growth and im- provement has been due chiefly to higher ideals set up by the Staff. We are sure that the present issue will live up to past stand- ards. May you enjoy your 1957 TIGER at present and treasure it in the years to cornel H. E. GRAYUM SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS 92 Superintendent H. E. GRAYUM and hts Family Left To Right; Jimmy, Mr. Grayum, Elinor, Mrs. Grayum, Ronald, Richard Principal James Brinkopf School year 1956-57 at its com- pletion is just another school year as the Tiger is sent to press by its hard work- ing staff and sponsor, but how will it appear at some future date. Only you, the reader or viewer of the future can tell if it was a successful year. Did the work and effort of our administration and faculty pay dividends to the students that attended here this year, or were they turned out un- rewarded? Was our student body a dedi- cated group with a sincere desire of knowledge? As you look and read I im- agine some of these questions will au- tomatically be answered, just how, only you will know. Mr. Brinkopf at home with his wife and small son, Scott.

RUTH LEWIS Commerce Very dear to me is the association I've had with you dur- ing the past decade in the Business Education Department. May IHS and each alumnus go forward with great strides in the future! WILMA STRINGER Girls1 Physical Education This gives me an opportunity to thank all of those students who have made this a pleasant year for me to teach at Ironton High. Although there have been disagreements with various stu- dents, the majority of you have been cooperative and willing to make every phase of the total school program a success. Best wishes to all the graduating seniors and may all of your worthwhile acti- vities in the future be successful MK. BILL WEBB Vocational Agriculture I, II, III, IV 96 97 E. H. WITGES Music MR. BILL HUNT Mathematics 1st Semester rA O MR. HAROLD GUTHRIE Mathematics 2nd Semester 98 Four years at IHS have convinced me that we have a fine group of students here. They enjoy themselves when inside and outside of school, and that is the way the youth of today should live. IHS students should strive to uphold their black and gold as students of the past have done—because it is a good school.

I have found the boys and girls of the fifties to be Just as interesting and challenging to work with as were those of the twenties. ALMA K.
