The Pilot was Dale Stoin as President and our Co-Pilot was Donferd Nussbaum as Vice-Presi¬ dent. Our Navigator was ShirleyLance as Treasurer; our Flight Radio Operator, Clarabel Douglas as Sec¬ retary; our Cabin boy,Max Griffith as Sgt.-at-ArTns; and our Plight Engineers were: Ellis Martin,Junior Troyer and Martha Wertz as Student Council members. Our Class was known as The Crew of the Future. There were 60 members who climbed aboard. Before we could become full-fledged members of the space crew, we had to be initiated. There were two new members that climbed aboard during the first part of our year. For our first class party we stopped off at Planet Merriman ' s for a weiner roast. Nowthat we were upperclassmen, many of our crew were in Girls ' Band, Orchestra, High School Band, and most of the members participated in the Mixed Chorus. Our class was represented by one majorette, two football cheerleaders, and one reserve basket¬ ball cheerleader. There were eleven boys playing football from our crew; one, varsity basketball; two, reserve basketball; and a few participated in track and baseball. There were many Important events duringthis part of our ride. First came our Junior Class Play, We Shook the Family Tree. We were planningto receive our class rings for Christmas, but there was a slight delay. We were surely happy when they fi¬ nally did arrive. Towards the end of the year we gave the Seniors their banquet using the Corona¬ tion as our theme. When we started our trip through the Sophomore year,there were 56 members aboard. Six of our mem¬ bers dropped off, but four more hopped on. Our Captain was Mr, Hummel, The Pilot was Donferd Nussbaum as President and our Co-Pilot was Shirley Lance as Vice-President, Our Navigator was Trudy Kerstetter as Treasurer; our Flight Radio Oper¬ ator, Martha Wertz as Secretary; our Cabin boy, Kenny McKee as Sgt.-at-Arms, and our Flight Engi¬ neers were: Jim Swartz, Dick Fischnich, and Ellis Martin as Student Council members. On this part of our trip we chose grey and red as our class colors and also selected our class sweaters. Clarabel won a berth on the Varsity Cheerleading team and quite a few of the boys participated in basketball and football. George Kelbly got to dress for Varsity basketball. We stopped twice for class parties. Our first was at Planet Douglas ' s where we had a wonderful time participating in games and a barn dance. The second one came at the end of the year when we gave a farewell party to the members of the crew who were transferring to Smithvillefrom where they in¬ tended to finish the rest of their journey. Our Junior year began with 41 members remaining aboard. We had lost three. Our Co-Captains were: Miss McMillen and Mr. Berg. Our Pilot was Donferd Nussbaum as President and our Co-Pilot was Dale Stoin. Our Navigator was Ida Jo Baker as Treasurer; our Plight Radio Operator, Clarabel Douglas as Sec¬ retary; our Cabin boy, Homer Gerber, Sgt.-at-Arms; and our Plight Engineers were: Marjorie Horst, Trudy Kerstetter, and Jim Swartz as Student Council members. Prophecy Cont ' d, Lillian is a bookkeeper. Her penmanship is neat; She always has her work done right. The boss says, She can ' t be beat. Clarice is now in business school Learning very fast To operate a comptometer; So let ' s all hope she ' ll pass. Melvin is a barber Taking Erky ' s place; If you boys want a new look.

Our class was represented in the Student Council with Kenny McKee as President, Trudy Ker¬ stetter as Secretary, and Larry Rossiter as Sgt.- at-Arms. During the first part of the year we lost two of our members leaving 36 to graduate. As Seniors, we found that not only had our re¬ sponsibilities increased but also our opportunities to participate in the many activities. We had one football cheerleader,two varsity cheerleaders, and three reserve cheerleaders. There were three boys in basketball, seven in football, and a few went out for track and baseball. We had three majorettes and quite a few of us participated in High School Band, Orchestra, Girls ' Band, Girls ' Chorus, and Mixed Chorus, We published The Barker, and pro¬ duced our Senior Class Play, Dirty Work at the H Crossroads. Our Government class took a field p trip to Columbus and we were guests at the Junior- ( Senior Banquet. And now, last of all, we have pub- - lished our yearbook, Now, as we step from our rocket ship into the future, we wish to express our appreciation for the co-operation and help of the Faculty and many friends who helped us reach our destination. « « « « « « « Class Motto Forward ever - backward never Class Colors - - Scarlet and Grey Class Flower -------- American Beauty Rose Senior Farewell Assembly ------ May 20, 1954 Baccalaureate Services ------- May 23, 1954 Speaker ------------ Rev, Thomas Lorenz Dalton Methodist Church Commencement ------------ May 28, 1954 Speaker --------- Rev, Geo, Van Wingerden First Christian Church, Girard, Ohio | - 18 - -iTirw-
