Committee 2, RUSSELL WALTERS 'Whitey' gwlqb CLASS HISTORY QCONTI NUEDD Now we were iuniors and anticipating a year of much excitement. For the first time we became an organized class. As officers we selected Don Durkin, president, Don Richter, vice-president, Wilma Pruitt, secretary, and Bobbie Hoernschemeyer, treasurer. We turned to the sports scene with some very talented squads--Dave Hartke, Rus Waters, Don Durkin, Bill Bradford, Don Englerr, Ray Crawford, Al Eschmann, and Rus Andrews on the football squad, Don Richter, Ken Moore, and Ron Slusser on varsity basketball, and Rus Waters on reserve basketball. Four of the five varsity cheerleaders were iuniors. They were Bobbie Hoernschemeyer, Lois George, head cheerleader, Arlene Faulhaber, and Diane Wilson. Bobbie Hoernschemeyer was crowned the first Homecoming Queen of Deer Park High. Barbara Poole, Wilma Pruitt, Barbara Cobb, treasurerp and Elaine Good, purchasing agent were on Student Council. Many iuniors were elected as officers to various clubs. At last the day came when we would receive our class rings which were three different kinds of gold and had the year, our initials, and the school emblem on top. We were very proud of these rings which we had waited so long to receive. As a class we sponsored many dances and a Christmas card sale to raise money for the Junior-Senior Prom which was held May l4 at the Sinton Hotel. Everyone waited with much anxiety to see who would be the lucky one crowned as Queen. At ll:00 Don Durkin crowned Marilyne Jones, Prom Queen for i955-l956. Her attendants wereAnita DelVecchio, Kathy Meyers, Bobbie Hoernschemeyer, and Wynema Post. We carefully stored away our precious memories of the unforgettable night as time beckoned us on to the highlights of the future. - At once we organized our class so we could embark onthe adventure of raising money for our Senior Trip.We elected Ray Crawford as president. The others elected were Ron Slusser, vice-president, Wilma Pruitt, secretary, and Barbara Stone, treasurer. We chose Maryhelen Cannon, Wynema Post, and Paul Herbert to represent us on Student Council . Barbara Cobbe, Frances Flick, Barbara Stone, Elaine Good, and Wilma Pruitt were Student Managers. Realizing this was our last year, we put forth our best efforts. These efforts were not in vain for the Wildcat football team seized the MVIL Co-Championship. The team was aided by Dave Hartke, Dick Helms, Rus Waters, Rus Andrews, Don Richter, Don Durkin, Bob Criswell, Bill Bradford, Ray Crawford, captain, Jim McFadyen, and Jim Roll. Don Richter represented us on the varsity basketball squad. The boys also showed great athletic ability in baseball, track, tennis, and golf.
