Our officers were: William James, president; Fred Decker, vice-president; Ann Davis, secretary; Larry Mac Neill, treasurer; Tom Loudenslager and Sue Sprowl, Student Council members; and Paul Lederman, reporter. We were guided by our advisers, Mr. Leroy Evarts and Mrs. Virginia Ash. Our Homecoming Queen candidate was Sue Sprowl, and Joyleen Snyder was candidate for Halloween Queen. Initiation Day was full of laughs for all of us. The sophomores thought up everything from onion rings to baby bottles. Seventy-four students started out on our sophomore journey. Ready to learn, we chose Tom Loudenslager as president, Fred Decker as vice-president, Ann Davis as secretary, Fred Frey as treasurer. Sue Sprowl and Mary Stuart as Student Council members, and Paul Lederman as reporter. As Homecoming Queen candidate for the sophomore year, we chose Ann Davis, and our Halloween Queen candidate was Charlene Hacker. This year our advisers were Mr. Melvin Flowers and Mr. Deloss Inman. we gave a freshman initiation party. We led them down the sawdust trail, took them on a space hop with a lemon Juice stimulant, and gave them the glacier test. Miss Jo Anne Purcell directed our Junior play, “Ready Made Family.” we published our first Issue of the Colon Hi News after choosing Ann Davis, Kenneth Brandys, Mary Stuart, and Bill Wagner as editors.
