i i N l a I P x N 2 4 QUMQS Eialmltw In the fall of 'h9, sixty-five fun-loving Freshmen climbed aboard their roller coaster for the first part of their ride through Dalton High. Our supervisor was Mr. Berg. Operating the controls was Bill Moser as our President, with Harold Showalter assisting him as Vice- President, Janice Teeple as Secretary, and George Wink- ler handling the finances of the class as Treasurer. Our councilors were Joan Galehouse, Doris Gerber, and Delores Kurzen. During our first ride, which had its ups and downs,we found we had many athletes, musicians, and a few interested in declamations, riding on our roller coaster. One of the high points reached was the initiation given by the Seniors where we became true members of Dalton High. Later in the year, we stopped at the home of Charles Shaffer to enjoy a weiner roast. There were sixty-three passengers aboard for our second ride. Five of our passengers jumped off but three others climbed aboard. Mr. Hum el was our super- visor for this trip. George Winkler took over the con- trols as President, with Harold Showalter remaining as Vice-President, Faye Saurer as Treasurer was in charge of tickets, and Janice Teeple as Secretary kept arecord of our trip. Our councilors were Helen Weimer, Delores Kurzen, and Myron Mumaw. Dwayne Taylor was elected as Sgt.-at-Arms to keep order. As the hills flew by, we found many of our passen- gers taking part in the school activities. we had one Majorette and were well represented in music with many members inthe High School Band, Orchestra, Girls' Band, and Girls' Glee Club. There were six boys playing bas- ketball, five,baseballgfour, footballg and four, track. It is interesting to note that ofthe three members that comprise each squad in football, varsity and reserve basketball cheerleaders, we had two members from our class in each group. During the last lap of our second ride, we stopped at Stone's in Massillon to buy our class sweaters which were bright red tri med with white bulldogs. Our class party for this ride was a square dance which was held at Esther Shisler's home, We began our third ride withfifty-seven brave pas- sengers still aboard. Our supervisor for this trip was Miss Diane Kollas, a new teacher on the staff. During this ride we lost only two members who were replaced later by two newcomers. At the controls once more was Bill Moser as Presidentg Ruth Zimmerman,Vlce-Presidenq Faye Saurer, Secretary, Deloros Kurzen, Treasurer. Our major financial problem was the Junior-Senior banquet, Vaughn Kurzen was elected Sgt.-at-Arms. Councilors for this ride were Pauline Shaffer, Helen Weimer, and Myron Mumaw. New that we were upperclassmen many of our members were in Girls' Band, Orchestra, and High School Band, with nearly everyone a member of the Mixed Chorus. Our class was represented by three majorettes, one varsity and two reserve basketball cheerleaders, and one foot- ball cheerleader. There were eight boys playing foot- ballfrom our groupgfive, basketballg andfour, baseball. There were many important events during this year. The first one was our Junior Class Play, nDouble Expo- sure.n Then about Christmas Santa arrived with ourlong awaited rings. Later in the spring we gave the Seniors their banquet using Hawaii as our theme. This was the first year students were allowedto bring outside dates, a privilege truly appreciated. This year, also, for the first time, we had an orchestra,for the banquet. For our fourth ride there were fifty-five passen- gers aboard with Miss Santschi and Mr. Scott acting as supervisors. George Winkler once more took over the controls as Presidentg Vaughn Kurzen, Vice-Presidentg Delores Kurzen, Secretaryg Doris Gerber, Treasurerg and Bill Moser, Sgt.-at-Arms. Due to the changed policy of electing Student Council officers, there were six mem- bers fromthe Senior Class.
