We elected Sylvia Little, President; Jerry Parnell, Vice-President; David King, Secretary; Lorraine Bigger- staff, Reporter; Agnes Gfeller and Jim Warner, Historians, We chose Leland Fee for our class sponsor. During this year Sylvia Little moved away and Jerry Parnell became President. We then elected Nancy Wick- erham Vice-President. In November we sponsored a Skating party at Silvermoon. We had another party in April. We had a potluck Supper and then went to Angola to the show. We began our Sophomore year with twenty-eight. We held a class meeting electing Jack Brooks, President; Susie Zonker, Vice-President; Phyllis Brenneman, Treasurer; David King, Secretary; David Arney, Reporter; Kathleen Dilley and Lorraine Biggerstaff, Historians; and choosing Paul Everett as our sponsor. In September we ordered our class rings and received them in November. That year we had two parties.
