Class History PRE-HISTORIC He, the graduating class of 1951, entered high school in l9h7. Freshmen, we had been told, were to be seen and not heard, however we put on all sorts of airs and we expected to be looked up to by every one. It didn't.take long that first year to find out differently. There were M2 of us on the class roll: Paul Baker Alan Henwood Bob McClure Walter Soper Mary Black Jim Howell Dick Merkamp Marilyn Starr Ben Blake Marjorie Hunt Marvin Morris Mary Spotts Jim Byrd Nell Jenkins Dale Pentecost Ernest Taylor Ruby Caudle Jane King Dick Rabine Byron Temple Janet Chowning Vera Knipp Phyllis Resh Paul Van Camp Fred Dickerson Beverly Lamb Bill Joe Rice Willard Wadsworth Ronnie Hamm Bill Lucas Bob Rudd Don West Neil Hamilton Paul Martin Donald Schwab Barbara Wickersham Joan Harris Jim May Betty Smith Marcia Wright Donald Hawkins Nancy Wright In our Freshman year our officers were President Walter Soper, Vice Pres ident Marilyn Starr, Secretary Jim Byrd and Treasurer Paul Baker Our sponsors were Miss Doty, Mr Brooks and Mr Miles We enjoyed several parties and spon sored a successful dance, the breshman blurry As the year closed we felt that we had partly paved the way to our great goal We lost our president, Walter Soper, to Dennis ANCIENT HISTORY In our sophomore year we settled down and strove to get back into the good graces of the upper classmen We were joined in our struggle by Harold Jenkins, Bill Harris, Donald Dale and Philip Jones Dale Pentecost started his career as president Paul Martin was elected vice president, Mary Spotts, secretary, and Phyllis Rosh, treasurer With the help of Mrs Hubbell and Mr Overturf we spon sored a 'Sophomore Scootn and the traditional class tourney We tried to sell pennants It was during this year we traveled to Indianapolis with Miss Kimmel to see the play Oklahoma Thus a successful year was brought to a close and we lost five classmates Philip Jones, Dick Rabine, Willard Wadsworth, Jim Byrd and Bill Harris MEDIEVAL HISTORY Our Junior year began with a bang During the summer we sold popcorn, cokes and candy to the hungry spectators at the baseball games, and when school started we were rarin' to go One of the b g moments in our Junior year was when we saw our class rings for the first time Everyone ordered according to his own choice and then an xiously awaited the day they would arrive How long they kept waiting is another thing During the year we had two very successful dances, the 'Junior Jazz and the uTiger Tromp Por a little fun on the side we threw in class parties hayride, and a square dance Our class officers for the year were Dale Pentecost, president, Phyllis Resh vice president, Mary Spotts secretary, hell Jenkins treasurer, and Marjorie Hunt reporter Durlrg thlS busy year ve ne J n ur , r st Chance e cu ra was e 1 LC t a.c ssell el, Dc S w r be r de c rselves l h t s a Pa s r reate Cur cha el progral was a t l r e e gav r lnterestl g escr pt M15 Icr The Jr or rece , w ve sore , was c e' + e t ex r The 8V6DlHE was toppe off Ly a perfcrrance Cf junior talent As the school year drew tc a close, we real ze t at ne t fear we wc l to assare the dlgnlty an esocr lb l t es cf ser c s V13 C s t settled s dcwr for t e cr, c the rell est cf the are t I2 O , - O I O I O - ll 1 l . ll I I . l . . .
