CLASS HISTORY cont. Our advisor for the year was again Mr. Taylor. That man must be made of iron to stand up under such a strain as he's been under for the last two years. On September 6, l955, sixteen seniors returned to take that last long step toward achieving that long awaited diploma. Our class officers were: Norman Puckett, president, Earl Sollars, vice-presi- dentp Barbara Kennard, secretary, Jay Hill, treasurer, Ginny Hinson, news re- porter. As the undergrads will soon realize, seniors are always busy. First of all comes your studies which must not bogg down and then watch-out because that's only the beginning. Football was underway almost as soon as school was in progress. This was the first year for Darby's six-man team and we were very proud of our boys for tying with Pickaway and Jackson for third place in the league. Larry McPherson and WayneWilliams were in there bucking away for Darby from our class. The annual Circleville Pumpkin Show soon was upon us and the student body elected Ginny Hinson from our class to represent our school as Miss Darby . It is a wonderful honor to be chosen and Ginny was more than pleased. Basketball flew in and Darby was off to another fairly successful season. The seniors onthe varsity were: .lay Hill, Norman Puckett, and Larry McPherson. Our homecoming game found Betty Looney being elected as the charming queen from our class and Ginny Hinson as our senior attendant. Sally Hicks, Barbara Kennard, and Ginny Hinson also managed to hold down the iob of being cheerleaders for their last year. Other than giving the freshmen a wiener roast and skating party at Grove City for initiation, our activities were limited. However, we did manage to put on a very successful play entitled Whiz Kids , under the excellent supervision of Mr. Charles Meacham. lt drew a fine crowd and also money which was the main idea. Mr. Taylor was again our advisor by request and since he has done so much to help'our class through the last three years, we decided to dedicate our T955-56 yearbook to him. And so winds up the Class History of the Seniors of the 1955-56 Class. May all the remaining pupils in high school have the fun and gain the knowledge that we have acquired while attending 'dear ole Darby'. Ginny Hinson 20

eniot efau ptoplecy In this year of I976, I, Carol Picklesimer, have returned to Darby for our reunion of our Senior Class of l956. I, myself, have been traveling with my husband, who is making the air force his career. We are happily married, and have four healthy children. As I walked around the gym, I was glad to see all my classmates were there. I first spied Rosalie, standing by the refreshments. Her eyes were still as bright as usual, and she has finally been hitched in matrimony to her red-headed mechanic. Then I heard a voice behind me calling my name, as I turned, I saw Barbara Kennard, who is now Mrs. Steinmetz, standing there with her triplets, all girls, and their red hair in a pony tail. She is now living at Grove City and is very happily married. There's Gene Drummond! I have often wondered what he was doing. Well, he iust told me he has a IOOO acre farm, and he is also driving around in a handsome new Cadillac. Why Gene, I thought by this time they would be out of style. Excuse me, Gene, I see someone I want to say hello to. Lucille, how nice to see you again. Lucille Wickline was iust telling me she likes her teaching iob very well. I don't see how you ever escaped the marrying bug, Lucille. It will catch up with you one of these days. Oh, there's Jay. I'lI see you later, Lucy. Jay Hill, I hear you own the largest hot rod company in the U. 5. I always knew you'd whiz into some great project. I heard you just became the father of your fifth child. Con- gratulations, maybe he will be like his father. Say, Jay, I see your old high school flame, I must say hello to Ginny. Ginny Hinson, gee you look swelll Oh, I forgot your name has changed, hasn't it? I hear you were elected queen to represent Jay's hot rod fans. Good luck, kid. Someday you'Il be representing us as Miss America. Ginny, don't go away, I must talk to David before he leaves. Oh, David, David Strawser, gee, it's good to see you. How's Sandy? I hear you're be- coming America's favorite lawyer. I always knew you'd get a iob to protect the women, you're so thoughtful. Well, good luck. I must get something to drink, see you later. As I walked over to the refreshments, I ran into Sally Hicks. Oh, Sally's name has changed too. Sne married the country's leading athlete. Believe it or not, she is still a 22
