The pleasant memories will be of lessons well learned, friendships forged in working together, positive action toward betterment of school and self, and associations where good will, sparkling wit, and fun prevailed. Your school experiences should have made you wiser, better, and consequently happier. Much credit is due those who have labored upon this annual. The result of your labor is commendable. This is typical of life's work. The greater the effort expended in accomplishment, the greater the glow of satisfaction in a job well done. Norman Tanksley - 37 - BOARD OF EDUCATION SEATED: L.

Under his leadership the faculty has set a fine example for the students to follow. They have not only helped us with our studies, but have coun- seled with us when we needed help. They have gone out of their way many times to help us. We are very proud to have their pictures in our 1957-1958 Talisman. The Editor DONALD SHONDELL Asst.

Vickie Hancock, Janet Boardman and Helga Lade withdrew from our class during the year. An Indian program, holiday parties, birthday parties, and a class picnic were special features and, along with our regular school routine, gave us a well-rounded schedule. - 47 - FIRST GRADE ft 0 i k i Ai « a Q J )' 4 i i Craig Willems Linda Lou Honn Richard Barten Cheryl DeLay Donald Strain Vana Thiele Gordon Burton Ruth Ann Kitchens George Ervin Pamela Laffoon Geneva Lade Daniel Ames iSk H Beth Sites Edward Morton Patricia Adams Michael Whaley Cheryl Honn Mark Spangler Linda Lou Hollingsworth Eldon Dalton Karen Laffoon Gregory Odle Charles Deno Mary Bower Ronald Lane Gregory Weston Charles McGee Nancy Schuette Chester Honn At the beginning of school in September, sixteen boys and thirteen girls enrolled in grade one. Our attendance for the first six weeks of school was very good. We ranked first in attendance in the schools of the county. During the Christmas vacation, Ronald Lane withdrew to move to Virginia. Geneva Lade left us in January to enter Ade School. We have enjoyed our school year together, having many good times at our birth- day parties, holiday parties at Halloween. Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter and May Day party for the Beginners. - 48 - SECOND GRADE Eddie Miller Stephanie Montgomery Charles Whaley Hildry James Walter Dean Normagene Ervin Clifford Snodgrass Deborah Whaley Earl Dewey Janet Hermanson Raymond Pomvood Diane Devereaux Gale Spangler Janet Berry Tony Carroll Diane Lyons Bobbie Lane Jeannie DeLay Chester Lade Thieda Honn Larry Miller Debbie Corbett Jon Schuster Linda Legg David Lawrence Mary Kitchens Roger Ames Dorothy Morton David Weishaar Lynda Chapman Joel Hershman Ruth Thiele Bobbie Adams Michael Maxson Patty Lane Jimmy Brown Gary Stath Tim Clark J B Koons Gary Barton The forty children in the above picture enrolled in grade two in the fall of 1957. Chester Lade from Mt. Ayr and JB Koon from Virginia were new enrollees. During December, Chester Lade, Patty Lane and Mike Maxson withdrew. Lavada Sims of Mt. Ayr joined the class in January. Mrs. Leona Kanne, Mrs. Winifred Curts, and Mrs. Ruth Wagner taught them the 3R'S, Music and Art. Holiday Party Committees planned and hosted parties at Halloween, Christmas. Valentine Day, and Easter. Learning to write cursively and to play rythm band instruments were highlights of this second year of school. - 49 - THIRD GRADE Charles Danruther Carol Hiestand Robert Latta Jill Whaley Gilbert Sites Karen Graveson Linda Kindig Robert Hancock Bonnie Spangler James Miller Dinah Hollingsworth Ronald Pickett Beverly Whaley Bruce Herriman Vicki Whaley Ronnie Lyons Joyce Akers David Thiele Brenda Weishaar James Bower Dianne Houston John Thompson Darlene Sell Michael Schoonveld Gerald Sanders, Jr. Karl Kleinkort Ronald Budde There have been twenty-eight enrolled in the third grade this year, twelve girls, and six- teen boys. Robert Hancock moved to Daley City, California and Charles Danruther spent two winter months in Florida. Larry Sims, from Mt. Ayr, joined the class second semester. They are an unusual group in many ways, and their teacher. Miss Cooper, expects big things from them some day. She has already detected embryonic signs of future sputniks, ath- letes, lawyers, missionaries, teachers, book-worms, doctors, nurses, fighters, guided missile makers, dare-devils, good housekeepers, policemen, scientists, entertainers, and also some budding romances. There is never a dull moment in third grade, and both teacher and pupils enjoyed the school year. Most of the class are excellent students, but some are still trying to master the intricacies of spelling and the 3R'S.’’ Their special interests are science and good literature. They have built up a good room library which provides challenging materials for all interests and grade levels. - 50 - FOURTH GRADE Jackie Lawrence Julie Burley Steve Lane Kristin Odle Howard Dodd MariAnn Weishaar Rex Ames Dianna Schuster Irvin Latta Imajean Lade James Gerbract Mary Beth Clark Larry Pickett Charles Leitzow Nancy Lyons Johnny Gravesen Pamela Carroll Murlin Lade Marcia Curtis Lester Laffoon Cheryl Morton Steve Waling Carol Antcliff David Honn Nancy McCoy Carl Adams Marguerite Bitler George Davis Karen Rath bun Roger Brown Rosemary Miller Carlin Kindig Inga Spangler At the opening of the 1957 school year, thirty-three students were enrolled in the fourth grade. During the first semester, Imajean and Murlin Lade withdrew. One student. Linda Sims, entered giving us an enrollment of thirty-two. This year we continued the practice of having one birthday patty a month. Everyone had a chance to serve on a committee. All of our parties were very successful social events. The rest of our time was spent on our regular school work. Some of it was hard work, while some of it was actual fun. - 51 - FIFTH GRADE Larry Zickmund Sue Putt James Nugent Bonita Long David Sanders Kimberly Decker Robert Johnston Judith Stutesman Phillip Hiestand Nancy Whaley Daniel Dean Julie Hermansen Robert Ames Diane Boardman Sandra Schoonveld Edward Antcliff Maribeth Kindell Mitchell Corbett Sharon Devereaux Larry Budde Lorreen Champion Dennis Sell Steven Bartlett LouAnn Dean Scott Hershman Rosemary Graveson Lyle Chapman Darlene Danruther Andrew Dean Not Pictured: Mary Hamman. Ann Stewart Fifteen girls and fifteen boys enrolled in September. Julie Hiner had moved away during the summer and Steven Bartlett joined the class. In January, Ann Stewart and George Sims enrolled and Diane Boardman moved away leaving a class of thirty-one. It has been a pleasure to work in our newly decorated room with its bright new cabinets (and bright pupils). Most of the time has been spent on lessons and drills in fundamentals. Social life centered around meetings of the Our Gang Club which completed its seventeenth year. - 52 - SIXTH GRADE Liso Bitler Terry Hiestand Louise Wright Donald Albright Julie Brown Robert Penny Janet Schuette Danial Hollingsworth Wilma Kindig Richard Schuette Nancy Clark Carl Grave sen Patrica Schuster Gerald Maxson Mary Sinks Carol Long Lana Whaley We have had only seventeen in our class this year which has made it easier for super- vision. We have all helped with caring for the first and second grades at lunch period. Most of us have helped clearing away plates. At Christmas time, we had our party and exchange of gifts and refreshments. We are planning a trip to the Chicago Museum before school is out. May our class furnish some outstanding citizens. - 53 - SEVENTH GRADE Mary Miller Lawrence Riegle Donna Ferguson Steve Peters Peggy Brown Dean Elijah Charlene Freeland Jim Woods Karen Ervin Marvin Snodgrass Sharon Whaley Jim Brown Sharon Jackson Chuck Fowler Phyllis Gravesen Roger Willems Alice Dalton Gary Curtis Sandra Montgomery Jack Dean Bonita Boelka Larry Wright Ronnie Antcliff Phillip Connell David Hermansen David Wilson We ve done a few things in the year. We've had two class parties, both were a success. We got our class money on the Halloween Carnival. We got our money for the parties by hav- ing the pupils bring whatever amount we thought was right. We had a party in the shop and a party out at Dodd's Lake. - 54 - EIGHTH GRADE John Burton Judy Schuster Larry Riegle Cherrie Decker e We I Diane Long Ronnie Honn Steve Rathbun Ronnie Miller John Gerbracht Roger Stutesman The eighth grade this year has had a very encouraging year. At the first of the year, we elected officers and they are as follows: President, Jane Cunningham; Vice-President, Judy Schuster; Secretary-Treasurer, Cherie Decker; Student Council. Ronnie Miller and our Sponsor is Mrs. Wagner. During the first semester, Cherie Decker and Chuck Dangerfield were elected King and Queen of the Halloween Carnival. Our first class party which was a dance at Cherie Decker's was very successful and others following were too. - 55 - J - 58 - Ardis Whaley Rocky Nelson Nancy Sell Jim Hermansen Barbara Miller Jim Thompson Joyce Antcliff Jim Burley Tom Kindell Ruth Snodgrass Jim Johnston Sandra Akers Bob Johnson Rosalyn Whaley Rosalind Vaughn Mike Graveson Betty Jo Putt Larry Antcliff Anita Williams Bill Lane Tom Clark Diane Reynolds Tharon Pickett Judy Curtis Hulet Dean Sharon Sainte David Patterson Sandra Whaley Bob Taylor Marcia Ferguson Roy Kindig Chuck Martin Bob White Kirby Bartlett Chuck Thompson John Hess Wayne Strole This year, after making the step from Junior High to High School, we received nine new students from Ade and Jordan. We elected officers and selected Mr. Lash as our class sponsor. Our parents held a meeting with Mr. Tanksley and decided not to spend very much money for class sweaters and class rings. They also decided to pay nine dollars dues for this year. We had a class party in November in the Legion Hall, which consisted of a dance and re- freshments afterwards. - 59 - SOPHOMORES Frances Ervin Dick Rausch Kay Nelson Bill Burton Janet Thompson Mike James Priscilla Dean Carroll Beasley Bill Antcliff Judy Wilson Harold Willems Louise Adamson Linnie Honn Carol Lawrence Everett Honn Joyce Copper Gary Burley Helen Strole Candy Honn Janet Kindig Sharon Clark Kay Fenwick Myma Gerbracht We, the Sophomores, have accomplished many things this year. Also, we have adapted to high school and have a different attitude toward the upper classmen. Some of our grandest and happiest days have spent in the Sophomore Class, although we may not realize it until many years later. The President of the class is Gary Burley, while Carroll Beasley holds the position of Vice- President. Dick Rausch is Secretary-Treasurer and Harold Willems is our representative in the Student Council. The Christmas Dance started our year off smoothly in the process of making class money. Our Sponsor was Mr. Charles James, and we want to thank him for the help he has given - 60 - JUNIORS Ruth Ann Smith George Antcliff Judy Kanne Bernard Freeland Beverly Schuette David Miller Judy Reiners Jackie Curtis John Connell Janet Taylor Allen Toben Priscilla Dean Jack Danruther Lois Allis Gerald Ervin Harvey Dodd Ellen Martin Jo Woods Ted Hamacher Marilyn Whaley Tom Anderson Chuck Davis Walter Riegle William Balenseifer The President of the Junior Class this year is Jo Woods, while Beverly Schuette serves as Vice-President, and Judy Reiners as Secretary-Treasurer. A play called Grandad Steps out, which was directed by our sponsors, Mrs. Wiles and Mr. Ham, started the year successfully. During the winter, activities were centered about concessions at the basketball games, paper drives, and other money-making projects. Spring time activities centered about the Prom and banquet for the Seniors. We have had some enjoyable class parties and have had a lot of fun, which we will re- member for many years. - 61 - i it .
