948 CLASS HLTORYL '95l 0 ml -.4 Dear Diary: Remember back in l0h8 when as scared freshmen we were initiated into our first vear of high school? Freshman-activities started at our first homeroom, when, under the direction of Mr. Hallman and Mrs. King, the following officers were elected: president, Harold Moore, vice-president, Bill Bowman, secretary, Jerry Tomy treasurer, Frances Bohlmang and student council representatives, Helen Ward, Bennie Forbush, Carol Laing, and Don Stephens. Our nominee for nueen of the Fall Festival was Carlene Funck. To make our treasury worthy of the name, we operated the Little Store under the guidance of our advisors. Dur- ing this vear blue and white were chosen for our class colors. Our most success- ful undertaking as freshmen was the production of the musical comedy, NMiss Atar1ivht.W In our sophomore year, under the guidance of Mr. Hallman and Mrs. Price, we elected as officers: president, Jack Ferguson: V1Ce'P1 8B1dS1'1f-1 Melka KGFGTISKHS secretary, Jerry Tom: and treasurer, Theira Cooper. Our nominee for the king of the Fall Festival was Bill Bowman: for lady-in-waiting, Theresa Rattle. We took our first step toward being nupper-classmenn when we initiated the freshmen in the fall. The first dance of our high school years was held in the spring with decorations in the Oriental theme. As juniors, under the supervision of Mrs. Posey and Mrs. Douglas, the fol- lowing officers were elected: president, Carol Laing: vice-president, Jack Fer- guson: secretary, Jerry Tom: and treasurer, Opal Sheehy. Our candidates, Melka Kerensky and Larry Gross, were elected queen and escort of the Fall Festival. Weeks of work were climaxed by our class taking in more money than any other class ever had. Our next activity was the annual Sadie Hawkins Dance. During the first part of our junior year we chose as our class motto: nThe elevator to success is not running--take the stairs,u and blue and white carnations as our class flowers. At last the long-awaited day came when excited juniors could proudly show off class rings. The highlight of our junior year was the J-Hop, the theme cf which was WMy Blue Heaven.W Under the direction of Miss Fritz, student director, Frances Bohlman, our junior play WA Great Big Doorstepn was a huge success. Seniors were our guests at the Junior-Senior Banquet at the Rot- unda Inn. Master-of-ceremonies was Jack Ferguson. In conclusion of the year's activities, we juniors honored the seniors in baccalaureate and commencement i . exceqgtgfsst, as'high and mighty seniors, we entered our final year of high school under the supervision of Mrs. Posey and Mr. Spencer. Officers elected for this year were: Dan Taliercio, president: Tom Palmer, vice-president, Jerry Tom, secretary, Opal Sheehy, treasurer, and Bob Boner, Margaret Elkins, and Jim Gurd, student council representatives., After the selection of our senior trip, money-making projects were undertaken in earnest. Among these were magazine sales, the sale of Christmas trees, the sale of cup cakes, record dances, and paper drives. High acclaim was given the first play in our new high school, our senior production, nGrowing Pains,n directed by Mrs. MacCreery, student director Jerry Tom. In May. our senior trip lived up to our highest expectations. The climax or our social activities was the Senior Prom, 'Thanks for the hemories.n This year we were guests at the Junior-Senior Banquet. During the last week of May caps and gowns were conspicuous on every senior. Baccalaureate and Commen- cement exercises wrote 'finis' to our high school days. Reminiscingly yours, The Seniors
