My CLASS HISTORY In 1949, thirty mothers dragged thirty nose-dripping young children to school at the old East Side School. Here we were to dwell for six long years under a great number of teachersf?J. We were the last class not to benefit from the advantages of the new South Side School. As we advanced into Junior High, we were placed under the tutorship of Miss Edwina Eichenberger. Our class was the last class she taught before retiring. In the Spring of 1957, after a year under Mr. Gaustad, 45 proud students received their diplomas and were promoted to High School. In our Freshman year we numbered sixty-four and soon learned how green we were. Luana Wagner was elected President, Frankie Allen, Vice-Presidentg Jean Chesmore, Sec.-Treasurerg Warren Wenz, Class Historian. We, with the Sophomores, presented three one-act plays, Weather or No, Bright is Tomorrow, and A Night in the Country. Fifty-two was our number as we became Sophomores. We were now more relaxed and ready to take our revenge on the Freshmen. Our officers were Thomas Bechtold, Presidentg John Fried, Vice-President, Leilani Naples, Secretary, Giles Henderson, Treasurer. This was a mighty year for the whole school as Baker won the Eastern Divisional Tournament for the first time. As we became Juniors, we also became upperclassmen with the responsibilities of upperclassmen. We gained our first recognition when Molly Agler was chosen Football Queen during Football Day Festivities. Leilani Naples was elected President, Leo Brockel Vice-Presidentg Marilyn Rustad, Secretary, Molly Agler, Treasurer. Our Junior Class play, Boarding House Reach --a three-act comedy, was a huge success. We were directed by Mr. Gaustad. Our Junior Prom was one of the best and was fun for all. Our Senior year was full of exciting events and went much too fast for us. Our of- ficers were Carmen Thomas, Presidentg Robert Yokley, Vice-Presidentg Bill Simmons, Secretaryg Warren Wenz, Treasurer. On Football Day Leilani Naples was elected Foot- ball Queen and our float won first prize. Our Senior Class play, Terror in the Suburbs --a three-act mystery, was directed by Tom McGonigal and went over big. We were honored by the Juniors at their annual Prom. The weeks flew until 42 received our diplomas at commencement. Of those who started the first grade 12 are still together. They are Evonne Afrank, Jean Chesmore, Delila Fried, Mary Lou Griffith, Clayton Keech, Leilani Naples, Kay Rediske, Bill Stadel, James Stark, Carmen Thomas, Warren Wenz, and Robert Yokley. We are the last class to graduate from the old High School. This means the passing of many memories of which we are glad we were a part, Our best wishes go to the students in school and to all future students. Our deepest appreciation goes to the many wonderful teachers who were kind enough to stand by us throughout our school years.
