Class History At last we had reached the rung of the ladder where excitement began. It was the year 1953 and thirty eager Freshmen assembled into their home- rooms. At our first class meeting we elected Bill Peluso, President; Bob Turley, Vice-President; Barbara Conklin, Secretary; Richard Jones, Treas- urer; and Janice Goodermote, Student Council Representative. To raise that much needed money for our treasury we put on two food sales, sold basketball pins with the school name on them, and had a lot of fun in planning our first dance, which we called The Spring Swing. All of these activities proved very successful and the funds in the treasury began to increase. Our Sophomore year began with a flourish as we once again elected Bill Peluso for our President, Joyce Stevens, a new member of the class, became our Vice-President; Barbara Conklin, Secretary; Janice Wager, Treasurer; and Janice Goodermote, Student Council Representative. Once again we de- cided to sponsor a dance, and as a result, had much fun in planning one for St. Patrick's Day. After this accomplishment we decided to put on another one of those faithful food sales which proved very successful. We all were happy when our Junior year arrived. This year we elected Barbara Conklin, President; Gail Peluso, Vice-President; Janice Goodermote, Secretary; Janice Wager, Treasurer; and Robert Turley, Student Council Representative. Of course, everybody had a hand in planning the Freshmen Initiation, which resulted in a lot of laughs and fun a day we think no one will forget. Our magazine drive was very successful. We sold initial letters and also put on another food sale. Plans were put into motion for our Junior- Senior Prom. We finally decided on a French Cafe theme after much debate. That night left memories for everyone. From our class Bob Turley and Trudy Paff were elected Prince and Princess. This was the big moment we had all been waiting for. At last we were seniors. Gail Peluso was elected President; Robert Turley, Vice-President; Janice Goodermote, Secretary; Janice Wager, Treasurer ; and Carl Stowell; Student Council Representative. The big event of the year was our Senior Play, Clarence”, which proved to be a great success. Next came the job of financing and publishing our yearbook Exodus.” Of course, everyone looked forward to our trip to Washington. In parting, we keep in mind our class motto; The Best is Yet to Come.” 18
