We gained Frank Harwood in our junior year. We started our freshman year with a big bang but were let down because we only witnessed half our initiation.

Jill Hughes was the queen candidate for the homecoming. Our candidates for the prom were Bill Deuterman and Jackie Miller. One of money making projects this year was picking up corn. During our junior year we had more work and more troubles but we also had more fun. Our officers that year were; President, Noble Usherwood; Vice-President Thressia Parks; Secretary, Lynd Wertheim; Treasurer, Dixie Baker. The student council members from our class were Jack Shay, Wilma Bruner, and David Amberg. The homecoming queen candidate was Lynd Wertheim. We bought our treasured class rings this year. Some of our moneymaking projects were selling stockings, our junior play, Angell Brats , soup supper, and the concession stands at home basketball games. We sponsored the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. In our last year in high school our officers were President, JackShay; Vice-President. Jim Adams; Secretary-Treasurer, Jack Warrick.

The senior girls in home economics took a trip to the Bridal House in Bloomington and some of the girls modeled the wedding gowns. We had our senior pictures taken in Bloomington on October 21, and enjoyed the afternoon as guests at the Biech Candy Company. On October 22, we presented our play, Act Your Age . Then the day that we had been looking forward to finally comes. We receive our diplomas and feel a little sad to separate. We want to wish each and everyone success in their undertakings after graduation. 11
