Class History We, the Class of 1954, began our glorious high-school days in the Fall of 1950 as fearless and eager freshmen. We elected our officers: Bob Albrecht- president: Erwin O'Dcll- vice- pres- idemg Janeen Kippe- secretaryg Joan McPherson- treasurer. Mr. Spurck was chosen as our class sponsor. Our activities of the year were a skating party, and a bake sale. So ended our first year of high school. ln September of 1951we started our sophomore year with even more spirit. We chose as our leaders: Jerry Baker-president: Nancy Volker-vice-president: Joyce Hill- secretary: Susan Hunt- treasurer: and Bob McMullen- student council representative. We elected Mr. Owens as our sponsor. Our activities of that year were a skating party, box social and selling candy and pop at basketball games. The Fall of 1952 found us back in school looking forward to an eventful year. To lead us we chose: Janeen Kippe- presidentg Bob Hunt-vice- presidentg Don Mayberry-secretaryg and Jack Knickerbocker- treasurer. We elected Mrs. Collins as our sponsor. We presented a play Hillbilly Weddin 'which was a huge success. As spring wore on, we were confronted with putting on the biggest event of the year, the Junior- Senior Prom. We chose the theme Hitch Your Wagon to 3 Star . The gymnasium was decorated very beautifully in blue and silver. Other activities were a skating party and a pancake supper. In 19523 we returned to school as high and mighty seniors. We chose as our able lead- ers for this final year: Bob Hunt-presidentg Sue Hunt- vice-president: Joan Mc Pherson- secretary: Shirley Tankard- treasurer: Kay McDowell and Janeen Kippe student council representatives. We again chose Mrs. Collins as our sponsor. Many events marked the last year of our days in Columbiaville High School. For our class play, we chose a three- act comedy No Boys Allowedl Another big job was the yearbook. It was edited by the Seniors of 54 . A pancake supper, February 4, was another big activity. All too quickly came the prom and the trip to New York Citv, from May 18-212. There was also Baccalaureate, Class Night, and Commencement. Un- believable as it seems, our high-school years were over. Looking back at the past four years, we would like to show our appreciation to all our sponsors, also to Mr. Bowles, Mr. Schindler, Mr. Naber and Mrs. Smith for their guidance and wonderful help through our high-school years.
