Senior Class History On the seventh of September, nineteen hundred and sixty, all 62 of us became the Freshman Class of Colon High School. We started our high school career by electing David Shellenbarger as president, David Drake as vice-president, Mary Jo PIlipick as secretary, Douglas Decker as treasurer, Craig Me Cartney as reporter, and Pat Birch and Jim Jordan as Student Council members. Our class advisors were Mr. Leroy Evarts and Mr. Robert Glazier. Our Homecoming Queen candidate was Nancy Stauffer. Our freshman candidate, Gloria Rinehart, became Fourth of July Queen. By the time we became sophomores, all 58 of us felt much more experienced in the ways of the world and were gaining importance in the estimation of the underclassmen. In our second big year Carolyn Thiele took over the reins as president, David Drake as vice-president, Nancy Stauffer as secretary, Douglas Decker as treasurer, Craig Me Cartney as reporter, and George Jackson and Carol Cummins as Student Council members. Our class advisors, Mr. Deloss Inman and Mrs. Lorene Meggison, lead us on our winding way. Our Homecoming Queen candidate was Pam Drake. Our sophomore candidate, Sandra Muckel, became Fourth of July Queen. It was fun making the freshmen crawl through boxes and giving them airplane rides. In our Junior year, 1|8 students found themselves In the ranks of upperclassmen. Realizing that this year was to be a busy one, we organized early by electing an able president, David Drake, who was assisted by David Shellenbarger as vice-president, Nancy Stauffer as secretary, Douglas Decker as treasurer, Craig Me Cartney as reporter, and Joyce Helmer and Fred Correll as Student Council members. Our advisors were Mr. Archie Mow and Mr. Robert Glazier. Our Homecoming Queen candidate was Donna Dean, and our Fourth of July candidate, who lr. turn became queen, was Joyce Helmer. Our Wolverine State delegates were Connie Wright and Harry Delle. In April we were confronted with presenting a play. With the help of our director, Mrs. Jean Gilbert, we chose a comedy, No Boys Allowed and succeeded in raising much laughter and considerable money. Our Junior Prom was entitled Hawaiian Holiday, and we had a wonderful time decorating the gym with palm trees, pineapples, and a waterfall. Jackie Robbins was toastmistress, and Allan Oldenberg was toastmaster. With an eye to future needs, we embarked on two projects for earning money: a boxed candy sale and a slave day. Our senior year at last dawned on us, our last and best year. Forty-six members were lead by a fine president, Fred Correll. His assistants were David Shellenbarger as vice-president, Sherran Whitman as secretary, Douglas Decker as treasurer, Harry Delle as business manager, and Pat Birch and Mary Jo PIlipick as Student Council members. Our capable advisors were Mr. Charles Thaxton and Mr. Melvin Flowers. Our Homecoming Queen candidates were Sherran Whitman beside Carolyn Thiele: the crown was awarded to Carolyn Thiele. Pat Birch and Mary Jo PIlipick were elected president and vice-president of the Student Council. Doug Decker and Dave Shellenbarger were football captains. Doug received All State Honorable Mention in football. Allan Oldenberg received All State Honorable Mention in basketball and was on the defensive unit of the All League Basketball Team. We were very proud of David Drake and Craig Me Cartney. They both rated very high in the National Merit Scholarship Test and received letters of commendation for academic achievement. Connie Wright was band president, Pat Birch was Pep Club president, Sharon Hovarter, president of the Future Nurses and Tom Gilbert, president of the F.F.A. Carol Cummins was cheerleader captain and Shirley Gilbo, head librarian. Mary Jo Pilipick was D.A.R. Pilgrim and Sandra Muckel, Carolyn Thiele, and Bill Hoch-stetler were our Annual editors. Fred Correll was Drum Major and student band director. He was sectional chairman at Government Day In the Sturges Young Auditorium and received the Operation Bentley Scholarship. Sherran Whitman was our capable recorder. Among our treasured memories of Commencement time are the trip we took to Washington, D.C. and New York City and our diplomas, presented after twelve years of living, playing, and working together. We voted to graduate under a banner of red and white with everyone wearing maroon caps and gowns with a white rose as our class flower. We extended an invitation to the Reverend Donald Cozadd of the Colon Methodist Church to deliver the Baccalaureate Address.
