FOLLY Heading the most treasured subjects to us were Freshman Chorus and English. Mr. Ross was both good and reliable as a sponsor. He was also a very good English teacher. We had a few new-ccmers in our plas«.

We are happy to say that none, thus far, have been taken from us either by sickness or other- wise. Although there have been a couple of accidents, none were serious. As you know we were called greenies. We admit we were a little green at some things, but not all. When it came to social activities in school, we were a bit timid, but in a little while we became accustomed to the finer points. We were sure to acquire more end more sophisti- cation as time went on. If you noticed the baffled looks on our faces as we strolled from our biology class, you may be sure Mr. Adams had been handing out some of his knowl- edge. The class was eager to learn, but was at its wit ' s end when Mr. Adams used freely his repertory of mile-long words. This year began our journey which will lead us at the end of four years, to the place where we can exclaim, We came, we saw, we conquered, (Vini! Vidi! Vici!). Row Five: Bonnie Schieferstein, Keith Schnepp, Anna Schwartz, Robert Shackley, Don Slusher. Row Six: Medford Smith, Calvin Smitley, Gladys Stetler, Kathryn Stevens, Karlann Striker. Row Seven: Roberta Swyger, Norma Swygart, Evelyn Summers, Bonnie Suman, June Teeple, Hilbert Thieme. Row Eight: Marcella Walters, Helen Ward, Jacqueline Warren, Norma Wilson, Charlotte Witham, Sam Yost.

FRESHMAN At last we had arrived at the place v e had long striven for. We were Freshmen!!! Although we were called green, we were proud of the fact that we had finally reached high school. Our class was composed of eighty-four pupils — thirty-six girls and forty-eight boys. The officers were as follows: Presi- dent, Don Grant; Vice President, Ronny Ballard; Secretary, Bill Kingsley; Treasurer, Phyllis Kraft. The class sponsor was Mr. Ross. On the second basketball team were Bob McAlhaney, Bruce Baughn, Jack Reynolds, and Don Grant. To those who were for- tunate enough to make the first team we say, Congratulations! Ray Lehman and Ronny Bal- lard. Mr. Perry had excellent con- trol over his basketball boys, even in the halls between class- es. Among those on the honor roll were Helen Kruecheberg, Med- ford Smith, June Teeple, Betty HoUingsworth, and Phyllis Kraft. It seems the Freshmen have not yet struck their stride in this rank. Again this year the band was blessed with a few of the proud freshies.
