S'CZaoo' The Class of '54 will become part of Crofton High Schoo1's past in a few weeks--but it was fun while it lasted--a four-part story of comedies and study. The Senior Class of '54 entered Crofton High ir1 September of 1950 with 36 faint-hearted students who walked into the high-school assembly and wereimmediately tagged FRESHMEN. Superintend- ent Ubben was our sponsor. Later, we elected Mike Norris-President, Junior Mischke-Vice-Presi- dent, and Melba Nohr-Secretary Treasurer. Our president, Mike Norris moved from Crofton by the time school ended. Not much happened that year except a class picnic in J anssen's pasture. Three months later We again walked into the assembly with a little more confidence but this time as SOPHOMORES. We elected Junior Mischke-President, Jim Wortmann-Vice-President, Bob Lockman-Secretary, and Rosemarie Mueller-Treasurer. The coach, Mr. Bruce, sponsored a delightful masquerade party in the school gym, and a refined picnic at the Chalk Rocks, Eight members of the class were waiters at the J unior-Senior Banquet, and they received a preview of what we were to organize and finance the next year. Three months later We were J UNIORS, and by this time the class had dwindled down a little. Four others joined us. They were Alice Scheafer, Carol Willenbring, Arlen Walters, and Kenny Sage. The Hermsens be- came our sponsors, Rose Marie Mueller-President, Rosemarie Meyer-Vice-President, Darrel Hofmaier-Secretary and Treasurer, and LaVernJensen-Second Semester Secretary and Treasurer. We put on the most financially-successful class play presented in the Crofton Auditoriumg and a beautiful Junior-Senior Banquet in the school gym. That night we lived in the Gay Nineties, were served by sophomores wearing derbies and mustaches, and were also entertained by a barber-shop quartette, who made up in enthusiasm, what they lacked in harmony, Three months later We again walked into that school assembly--we were a changed class- smooth, intelligent, and socially superior. We chose Junior Mischke-President, LaVern J ensen-Vice-President, Dave Couchman-Secretary, and Alice Scheafer-Treasurer. Our sponsor was Principal Cory. Arlen Walters, Kenny Sage, and Donna Doering left school but Betty Trenhaile, Bonnie Lenzen, and Marlon Smith took their places. Many things happened-- the freshmen learned to know and respect us dur-ing initiation, we bought class rings and pictures, gave school parties, a class play, went on a Sneak Day, made an annual, and wereguests at our last Junior -Senior Banquet. Last but, not least, we received our diplomas. The four years went by almost too fast and in a little while, we will graduate from the best years of our lives.
