,. CLAS HI TOR Y In the fall of 1942, twenty-eight eager first graders entered Miss Culver's room. Miss Cul- ver became a second mother to us and helped us adjust to the new environment which surround- ed us about seven hours a day, 5 days each week. We can't rememberl ch about our first 6 years of school, however, when we entered the 'ith grade we found many ac 'vities to consume our time and develop our abilities. Many members of our class began to participate in basketball, band, and chorus and have continued in those activi- ties through high school. It was an important date for us when we graduated from the eighth grade in May, 1950. I Seventeen greenies embarked on a four year trip in September 1950. The day the seniors initiated us was a big day for ius. Most of us actually enjoyed it, but when it was over we sighed with relief--we were full fle Nged freshmen. We sold programs at basketball games to help boost our treasury. Our officers wer, as follows: President, Glenn Kritesg Vice President, Jim Springer, Secretary, Donna Mercerg Treasurer, Rita Placeg Student Council, Glen Fuerst and Mary Lou Doer- ingg Advisor, Mr. Rudolph Leatherman. In October of our sophomore year we sponsored a spaghetti supper, which was very profit- able. Our officers were: President, Don Whetstoneg Vice President, Glen Fuerstg Secretary, Jim Springer, Treasurer, Audrey Fox, Student Council, Rita Place and Donna Mercer, Advisor, Mr. Jo- seph Kelley. In the spring we chose our class rings and the play which we were to present in the fall so that we would be ready to start our junior year in high gear. Our third year of high school was an extremely busy one. With the leadership of our offi- cers, the cooperation of all class members, and the helpful guidance of our advisor, Mrs. Phyllis Corderman, our junior year was very successful. Our officers were: President, Jim Springer, Vice President, Glen Fuerstg Secretary, Betty Tangemang Treasurer, Mary Lou Doering, Student Council, Marge Bruner and Don Whetstone. The Fall Frolics square dance was the first activity which the juniors sponsored. After that we began to earnestly practice for our class play, Finder Creepers , 'which we presented on October 24. It was a successful and profitable performance and the cast en- joyed entelrftaining the community. During the ye ar we also sponsored a bake sale and a skating party. Oniaifipril 17 a number of members of the WIMA radio station presented a variety show in the school auditorium from which the juniors received the profit. The height of our careers as jun- iors took place on May 15, when we gave the prom in honor of the senior class. During our final year of school we were handicapped somewhat by the building program. Our officers were: President, Glen Fuerstg Vice President, Jim Springer, Secretary, Rita Place, Treasurer, Marge Bruner, Student Council, Donna Mercer and Don Whetstoneg Advisor, Mrs. Miriam Brown. We sold ice cream and pop at school and served the lunches at two local farm sales. On February 12 we sponsored a cafeteria supper which we held in the new dining hall. Our senior class play was presented in April. 'The class greatly appreciated the banquet given in our honor by the juniors on May 14. May' 23, 1954, was the most memorable date of our entire school life. Seven- teen proud and happy seniors received their diplomas on that Sunday evening. The following Mon- day we life for a journey to New York City and Washington, D. C. Thus, we concluded together our high-school careers.
