Our Junior Play, No Deadly Medicine, was a drama centering around the activities and events of a hospital. Our second at- tempt at acting was a story of a more humorous nature concerning a minister ' s family, One Foot In Heaven. Many weeks of hard work proceeded each performance, but there was also time for lots of fun and food at every practice. The casts enjoyed their short acting careers very much and appreciated the patience and expert guidance of the director, Mr. Ray Wagner.

Class Mist or y In the fall of 1959, — 41 freshmen entered the doors of Clay Township for a journey to- ward our destination — graduation. To lead us were Mr. Robert Friar and Mrs. Inez Brune- graff, sponsors; Mary Ellen Waters, president; Connie Dyar, vice-president; Connie Sharp, secretary and treasurer; Judy Stites, reporter; and Connie Zehring, student council repre- sentative. The class was delighted to have Connie Dyar elected varsity cheerleader. That year we chose Jerry Miller and Connie Sharp as king and queen candidates for the Halloween Festival. We were sorry to see Millie Miller, leave us, but Trudy Garrard came to join us. In September of ' 60, 39 sophomores were led by Mr. Robert Friar and Mr. Ronald Sullivan, sponsors; Connie Zehring, president; Dave Cagley, vice-president; Connie Dyar, secretary; Mike Fye, treasurer; Trudy Garrard, reporter; and Karen Jenkins, student council repre- sentative. Connie Dyar was re-elected varsity cheerleader. Mike Fye and Connie Dyar were our nominees for king and queen of the Halloween Festival. This year we got our charcoal sweaters and jackets with red and white emblems. We lost several students this year; Bobby Lane, Pat Phillipy, Jerry Glassburn, Sandy Bowland, Verbeta Osborne, Joan Glassburn, Vera Margaret Hahn, Bob Hawkins, David Miller, and Nelson Miller. We gained Cindy Newton, Mike and Nancy Puterbaugh, Mary Lou Smith, Bill Willis, and Bill Gaunt. Frank Riddle stayed for a short while. Thirty-five juniors began in September, 1961. Mr. Friar and Mr. Sullivan were again our sponsors; Jerry Miller, president; Connie Dyar, vice-president; Karen Jenkins, secretary; Verb Bontrager, treasurer; Mike Fye, reporter; Connie Zehring, business manager; Dave Cagley, assistant business manager; and Mary Ellen Waters, student council representative. Connie Dyar was chosen cheerleader for the third consecutive year. As a money making project, we sold concessions at the ballgames. Our king and queen candidates, Larry Wilson and Karen Jenkins, were runners-up at the Halloween Festival. During this year, we re- ceived our long awaited rings and tried our hand in dramatics. We presented a 3-act drama entitled No Deadly Medicine, directed by Mr. Ray Wagner. On May 18, we entertained the seniors at Honeywell Memorial in Wabash and after the reception our parents sponsored a dance at the Converse City Hall. During this year, we lost Sandy Helm and Glenn Hershberger. In the fall of 1962, our fourth and final year, 31 seniors were led by our sponsors Mr. Friar and Miss Susan Feller. Upon Miss Feller ' s leaving in December, Mrs. Olga Breaux replaced her as sponsor. The officers were: John Clester, president; Connie Dyar, vice-presi- dent; Barbara Greeson, secretary; Connie Zehring, treasurer; Mary Ellen Waters, reporter; and Cindy Newton, student Council representative. The class was honored to have Connie Dyar elected cheerleader for the fourth year. This year Jim Yoars and Cindy Newton, our king and queen candidates, took high honors at the Halloween Festival. On November 21, Mary Ellen Waters was crowned the first Homecoming Queen. Again this year we tried our hand in dramatics, but this year we gave a 3-act comedy entitled One Foot In Heaven, di- rected by Mr. Wagner. We lost Betty Cooley, Connie Sharp, Sherry Whaley, Bill Gaunt, and Rita Dangerfield; but gained John Shrock. Our money making projects included the selling of candy, key chains and bracelets. We also had skating parties, car washes, and a dance after the 4-Way Tourney. Other highlights of the year included the Junior-Senior Reception on May 17, Baccalaure- ate on May 19, the Commencement on May 21, and the nine day trip to Gettysburg, Washing- ton, D.C., New York, and Niagara Falls. 22
