Our freshman cheerleaders were Beverly Messer, Gay Porter, Janice Emmert, Mary Hess, and Dorothy Smith. Our SophomoreClass was the first to organize at Beech Grove and we elected Charles Grubbs, chairman, and Marilyn Prather, vice-chairman.

In this year, we lost Loretta Collins, Nancy Gulley. Jim Brinegar, Charles Lynch, Charles Hopkins, Sherry Nugent, Charles Locke, Art Lady, Bob Purvis, James Royalty, and Jayne Calvert.
