SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Little did the world lof M.H.S.l realize, but in the fall of 1953 a great history was unveiling in their very midst. For that ye-xr brought a group of fifty-four Freshmen to Midvale High, destined to become The Class of 1957 . As freshmen their history was much like other years, serving as a foundation for future greatness, The class officers elected that year were: President, Lonnie Wolfe, Vice President, Chuck Colletti, Treasurer, Dick Leggeti, Secretary, Shirley Tidrick, Class Representative, Larry Gibbs. h They selected their motto, Enter to learn, go forth to serve , class colors, red and gray, and the red carnation as t eir f ower. Thu boys of the class were first to gain school wide recognition as they turned out in large numbers for sports, several receiving first-year letters. ' Ja1ice Daley was elected cheer-leader and Martha Fox reigned as Freshman attendant at the football homecoming. With the help of Mr. Lindsay, class advisor, they entertained the Juniors at the annual Freshman-Junior party,making it a huge success. Tl'e year passed quickly and they soon found themselves in a new year with a new name, 1955 Sophomores . With this new name came more prestige and pride but, also a feeling of regret as Mrs. Stevenson, our new advisor, callel the roll and only forty-three remained. Class officers elected were: President, Duane Zack, Vice President, Lonnie Wolfe, Secretary, Sue Beahm, Treasurer, Arlene Zontini, Class Representative, Dick Leggett. l-'istory was in the making as everyone, ioined in the whirl of activities. The first big event of the season was the footl all Homecoming. Shelby Parsons, a newcomer, was elected to be their attendant. The Sophomore-Senior party, the induction of Lonhie Wolfe, Duane Zack, and Judy Visintainer, into the National Honor Society, the choosing of Mary Colletti and Arlene Zontini as cheerleaders highlighted the remainder of this year. Yoon they found themselves with another name. As Freshmen they had looked forward to this name, and now it was theirs, Juniors of 1956 . , l'he class officers were: President, Dick Leggett, Vice President, Lan'y Gibbs, Secretary, Mary Trachsel, Treasurer, Judf Visintainer, Class Representative, Harry Dotts. l'hey sold everything, from candy to magazines, outselling the Seniors in the latter campaign. Other events of all kinlls, size and importance helped to make this year one they will always remember. Judy Visintainer was selected to represent her class at the' football Homecoming game with Tusky that year, they purchased their beautiful class rings, and the class play Yop Can't Kiss Caroline was the biggest thing to hit the N'idvale Stage for many a year. . After two years of entertaining it was their turn to be entertained. The Freshmen were hosts at a fun filled party. Soon it was time for The Prom , they were determined to make it a night the Seniors of 56 would long remember. With the help of Mrs. Stevenson the Juniors became artists, paper hangers, and all-round decoraters, transforming the gyfn into a gorgeous Candyland .Music was by Paul Weigand's Orchestra. Monday after The Prom was May Day and the Juniors were again in the highlights, as the student body chose Ju. dy Visintainerand Larry Gibbs to reign as May King and Queen. After a fun-packed day all was climaxed by the or nual May Dance sponsored by the Junior Class. Using The Prom setting as scenery the queen was crowned, and the largest crowd in years had a wonderful ti ne dancing to the music of Blaine Shiveley's Orchestra. At the Athletic Banquet, in the spring of 1956, we were proud and honored when our boys, Dick Leggett and Gary l' aney received outstanding honors, Dick being a member of the All-County Basketball team, Gary taking the Midvale lions Club's new trophy, Outstanding Football Player of 1956 . Again it was time for all good things to end , but they found with this ending a greater beginning. The beginning bf which fl eY hfld W0flfeCl, strived, and tried to become worthy, the name, Class of Nineteen Hundred and Fifty- Seven fieniors, was finally ours.
