The class of 57 started out with forty-two frightened little Freshles. Our officers were: President, Douglas Adams; Vice-President, Gene Trine; Secretary, Judy Pokorny; Treasurer, Marcia Stuart; Reporter, Sandra Loudenslager; and Student Council, Bethel Stanton. We lost James Clark. Initiation day brought on some amazing sights. Everyone wore something different. Decorated in anything from onions to diapers, we paraded the streets. Our dally deeds were washing the white line through main street with tooth brushes and shining shoes. As soon as everyone had recuperated we gave the sophomores a return party. Mr. Flowers was our advisor. Thirty-five faithful souls started out as sophomores.

Our Junior play, MThe Able Miss Cain,” was directed by Mrs. Virginia Ash. April 30 1956, we published our first issue of the Colon Hi News. We sent Sandra Loudenslager to Wolverine Girls State. For our Prom we chose a Moonlight Bay'1 theme. Lighthouses at each end of the gym, on the stage, ships with gay colored sails, and mist across the floor created a romantic atmosphere, while huge bouquets of gorgeous flowers lent a festive air.

The higher we climb, the broader the view was our motto. 19
