CLASS HISTORY 125 students meet in Room 9 on September 5, 1951. Many of these students were acquainted with each other and some teachers, but a good number were not. These students came from many of the grade schools surrounding Aurora. Among these students were a good number of athletes who helped win four Sectional tourneys in Basketball and a good number of football games in the final year. This year they also won second prize on the excellent float but didn't win first prize on account of Sophomores' bribing the judges. Through the mirror of confusion this year, we elected: PRESIDENT - Phyllis Brown, VICE-PRESIDENT - Zana Klingelhoffer, SECRETARY - Jerry Drew, TREASURER - Jerry Willman. The total number at the end of this year was 106. Through the summer of 1952 we gained Charles Lehner from Evansville's Reitz Memorial High School to make a total of 107 high-faluting Sophomores who thought they knew it all. We roamed around the school looking at the bewildered Freshmen, who were wandering through the halls looking for their classes. After several elections we finally decided on; PRESIDENT - Bill Benning, VICE-PRESIDENT - Melvin Johnson, SECRETARY - Zana Klingelhoffer, TREASURER - Corneluis Banschbach. We followed the basketball team of Rushville only to be defeated. Gaining two new students, Melvin Ritchie from Latham, Ohioand Don Schuck from Versailles, gave us a total of 108 to start out our Junior year. We, as Juniors, like everyone else, thought it was our big year with things such as class rings and the Junior-Senior prom to look forward to. We think that our prom was the greatest prom of Aurora High, consisting of: 4 hours of dancing, a delicious dinner at midnight, a wonderful movie, and a startling ride on the Ohio River on the Johnson Party Boat to finish the night. We all arrived home at the wee hours of the morning. Again we followed the courageous basketball team to Rushville, but to fall to defeat again. The class officers for this year were: PRESIDENT - David Kyle, VICE-PRESIDENT - Melvin Johnson, SECRETARY - Irvin Mulford, TREASURER - Charles Huxsoll. But on graduation day there were only 100 diplomas handed out on account of the marriage of our dignified Seniors, Harold Jackson to Sheila Carey and Erma Crider to Ronald McPeek. Now we leave the school to the up and coming Freshmen, ill-mannered Soph's and snooty Juniors.
