CLASS HISTORY On October 11, 1951, our class officially became members of Berlin Cent- ral High School through the usual, dignified manner of the traditional initia- tion procedure. For this solemn occasion the girls of our class were decked out in their fathers' best long underwear, feed-bag-booties, and short skirts. The girls wore no make-up and their hair was done in rags. The boys were the picture of dignity in their baby bonnets, diapers, stockings, slippers, and carrying a rattle and a lollipop. After making us look as foolish as possible the Juniors gave us a very nice reception and dance. Our money-making activities in our Freshman year included two food sales which netted about $30.00 each, a movie entitled Mr. Belvedere Goes to College, and a paper drive. Our class officrs that year were: President — Jeannette Ford Vice-President — Joan Schmich Secretary — Nancy White Treasurer — Pat Haley Looking forward to our senior trip to Washington. D. C.. we carried out many activities during our Sophomore .year. These activities consisted of two dances. ''Shilaylee Shindig and a Barn Dance. We also sponsored a program called “Strat-O-Cruiser Our officers for our sophomore year were: President — Jeannette Ford Vice-President — Walter Brown Secretary — Nancy White Treasurer — Gary Winn During our Junior year we welcomed in the new freshmen with the tra- ditional freshman initiation. We also said farewell to the seniors with the an- nual Junior-Senior Ball. Other efforts to make money included another dance, the Hearts Ahoy. We also sold iron-on letters and School Daze books. Our class officers were: President — Janis Hakes Vice-President — Calvin Agan Secretary — Jeannette Ford Treasurer —Nancy White We were not very far along in our senior year when we began rehears- als for our senior play. The play, entitled East Lynne was a melodrama which required nearly two months of preperation and rehearsals but when the night of December 1, 1954 had passed, we all knew that our play had been a success. We also began early to prepare our yearbook. Aside from our play, our most important money-making activity was our spaghetti sup- per. The major event of our senior year was our class trip to Washington. D. C, which we took by storm on Friday. April 8. 1955 and successfully held until Tuesday. April 12. Returning from Washington we put the finish- ing touches on our yearbook and at long last, after four years, we settled down to preparing for our graduation. Our class officers for our senior year were President — Nancy White Vice-President — Donna Amidon Secretary — Joan Schmich Treasurer — Gary Winn 17
