HISTORY RO, 2 by Juanita Davis Necessary It was on a bright day in August that a crowd of delighted boys and girls scurrled around in the school building. Naturally, everyone was so happy that today was the day for enrollment, especially the Freshmen, as it was on this day that they entered high school. To most of them it was an old routine, because they had been in the building since their seventh year, but to the Abington stu- dents, it was new and exciting to have school. Among these school chums were Earl Baker Fred Dickerson Glen Girdler ' Earl Candle Phyllis DuBois Dorothy Greene Donald Allen Juanita Davis Rcanna Geeting Jim Howell Herb Johnston Letha Kellams Jim King Olive Ann King John Lakamp Norma Mccrew Donnie Miller Marilyn Moyer Cheryl Rau Billy Joe Rice Dick Rosser Duane Smith Frances Smith Janice Spotts Katherine Stinson Dick Study Eileen Toschlog Keith Whalen Don White Marge Whirley A week hadn't passed, and we were electing officers. the privilege of going to this different Nancy Chowning Neil Fulton Jackie Hatfield Paul Kempton Charles Martin Lorene Raby Duane Shank Barbara Stevens Marilyn Wadsworth Bill Wissler Earl Baker was chosen Presidentg Duane Shank, Vice Presidentg and Donnie Miller, Secretary and Treas- urer.

This was a revclting night for the bashful Freshmen boys as some Cambridge boys took over the dance floor and made big hits with the gals. It was decided to make good use of the last party, which was on January 23, and a farewell party was held for Dick Rosser, who was departing from our school to go to Muncie. Only a short time and it was spring again. We had passed our first goal only to venture into another new field and discover ourselves to be proud Sophs. When our gang got together again, we looked around and discovered several old faces missing. Our class dropped from 40 to 55 members. During the year however,three newcomers lAlma Guettner, Barbara Swain and Betty Winchester! came to join our secluded Sophomore ranks, also, Dick Rosser just couldn't stay away from good 'ole C. H. S. any longer. The Sophomore Class elected Eileen Toschlog, Presidentg Juanita Davis,V1ce Presidentg Olive Ann King, Secretary and Don Miller, Treasurer. A Student Coun- cil was established and serving on it representing the Sophomcres were: Barbara Stevens. Jim King, Janice Spotts and Duane Shank. The Sophomore Year ended, summer passed by and School Days rolled around again. 50 Juniors out of 57 marched along together to face their new problems. We had lost 9 members, but gained 5 in return. It wasnlt long until a bright- eyed girl came to join us, Ellen Chance from Connersville, but Gaylene 0'Bayley and Nancy Chowning preferred to become housewives. The Juniors numbered 29. Junior Class President was Jim King, Don Miller was secretary and Janice Spotts, Treasurer. Juanita Davis replaced Janice Spotts on the Student Council.
