Athenian Staff, 45 Cheerleader, 34: llonor Night, 34, MASS lllllllllllll The Class of 1954 has quietly and peacefully passed away. lt was but four years ago last September that '54 began to live. Dick Ahrenkiel served as her president with the assistance of Bernard Jankauski as vice-president, Betty Clemens as secretary, Martin Nevitt as treasurer, and Bob Freeman, student council member. Class sponsor was Mr. Stevens. That year '54 began to test the joys of night life. Basketball games and a movie now and then - '54 began to grow restless. By her sophomore year, a once-healthy class was showing definite signs of collapse. Basketball an'd band activities and the class parties took up quite a bit of her time. Top executives during her sophomore year were: President, Kenny Critcheloeg Vice-President, Dick Ahrenkielg Secretary-Treasurer, Bernard Jan- kauskig and Student Council, Dean Jensen. Our class sponsor was Mr. Ragle. Her junior year proved even more tiring. This big year included choosing her class rings, the Junior-Senior Banquet, and the class play, We Shook the Family Tree. Officers Were: President, Dean Jenseng Vice-President, Dick Ahrenkielg Secretary-Treasurer, Ronald Robisong Student Council, Norman Mack and Kenneth Critcheloe. The sponsors were Mrs. Baker and Mr. Todd. Helping '54 through her last stand, the fourth year, were Mrs. Garber and Mr. lngold. They guided '54 through the production of the year book and the class play Meet Me In St. Louis. Class officers were: Dick Ahrenkiel, Presidentg Donna Graham, Vice-Presidentg Norman Mack, Secretary-Treasurer, and Dick Conover, Student Council. Now it was obvious that the poor old class was rapidly coming to an end. The class trip to Chicago, too much night life, and too many trips to the cafe for sundaes and cokes had at last overcome her. Funeral ser- vices will be held on May 27, 1954, at 8 o'clock P. M. RICHARD KEITH AHRENKIEL - Dick Love is too simple for a brainy man like me. Ambition--To go to college.
