Production As hopeful and excited freshmen, we began our final years of school. To lead us we chose Hugo Veit as president; John Crosier, vice president; Richard Betts, secretary; Barbara Filkins, treasurer; John Herholz and Dorothy Tallrnan, Red Cross representatives; and Joan Cooke and Beatrice Gustavson as Student Council representatives. Miss Twitchell and Mr. Chester were our class advisors. For our class activities we held two movies and a roller skating party. Entering our second year of high school, our first business was to elect our officers. James Perry, Helen Walters, Shirley Duell, and Estelle Ward were chosen president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer respectively. Marilyn Cornell and Ray Pitcher represented the sophomores on the Student Council while Richard Rapp and Barbara Filkins represented us in the Junior Red Cross. Mrs. Osterhout and Mr. Denofio capably directed us as advisors. In October we presented our first activity, the double feature, A Girl in Every Port” and Flying Leathernecks. “ Entering the Junior One-Act Play Contest we selected The Laughing Ghost which was directed by Mrs. Osterhout and Mr. O'Leary. In March we again had a movie High Sierra, which was a huge success. Later, in combined efforts with the seventh grade, we held a gigantic bake sale with all profits going to the Cancer drive. As the last activity in our sophomore year, we held a Vic dance with the gym decorated with large records and musical notes. With Mr. Mustico and Mrs. Osterhout as our class advisors, we were juniors and had only two short years ahead of us. This time Robert McCormick was president; Richard Bens, vice president; Joan Cooke, secretary; Barbara Filkins, treasurer; Hugo Veit and Alberta Litts, Student Council representatives; Dorothy Tallrnan, news reporter; and John Herholz and Kenneth Horl, Red Cross representatives. With great anticipation we selected our class rings and waited patiently until two days before Christmas vacation and then proudly displayed them. In October we held a Halloween Soc Hop which was enjoyed by all participants. Our next activity was to be the Junior One-Act Play Contest. Our class presented The One that Got Away giving stiff competition to the winning sophomores. At the finest activity - the Junior Prom,, we chose Under Paris Skies as a theme with Keith Witter providing the music. Couples danced under stars suspended from the lowered ceiling and others sat at tables arranged around the gym to represent a sidewalk cafe! At 11:30 Richard Bens and Delores Duell were crowned King and Queen with the Eiffel Tower silhouetted against a myriad sky in the background. Then the day arrived when we were at last proud Seniors. For this golden year we selected Richard Betts, Ray Pitcher, Joan Cooke, and Barbara Filkins as president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer in that order. Helen Golden acted as news reporter, and William Kaehler, and Barbara Filkins represented the senior class on the Student Council. Mrs. Parker and Mrs. Swick guided us as advisors. Our senior play, Stranger in the Night was presented in November with the hard working cast receiving well deserved praise and acclaim for a fine job. Later in the fall, we held a Soc Hop which proved another success. As our final part in dramatics we selected Westwood Whoa! ” a comedy-drama for the play contest.
