Senior Class History It was on a bright sunshiny morning of September, 1954, that tvventy-eight seventh graders were huddled together in mute embarrassment throughout the halls of Dixon-Israel. Part of these members became members of the class of I960. They suffered much inconvenience because of their unfamiliarity with the new traffic rules. Sometimes they found themselves in the wrong halls or taking the wrong turn, and were almost always late for class. They formed a little organization with Mrs. Holstein as their sponsor. The members were Marion Arnold, Bob Austin, Keith Dawson, Joyce Avery, Gene Black, Ed Baker, Owen Kelley, Katherine Kelley, Joyce Kennedy, Rebecca Klein, Charles Moore, Charles Lunsford, Clayton Pennington, Prentice Rader, Gene Elleman, Hope Boyer, Glenna Jackson, Danny Mann, Phyllis Rader, Darlene Orr, Steve Seals, Allen Toney, John Whitesell, Jim Vellenga, Bill Harris, Gerald Isaacs, John Corwin, and Elain Wilson. There wasn't much acttvity for the seventh grade, but they managed to work a silent movie and Valentine party into their schedule. Those joining the organization after it had gotten under way were Carol Baker and Arnold Hawkins. By the time the next September had rolled around, this little organization was promoted to a higher rank, but the quantity had gotten smaller because Marion Arnold, Gerald Isaacs, Charles Lunsford, Charles Moore, Clayton Pennington, Prentice Rader and Katherine Kelley departed. This promotion gave the little organization a new name --eighth grade. The eighth grade had very little inconvenience because they knew all of the rules and were familiar with all of the class rooms. Four strange pupils, Bob Helton, Jimmy Ada.ms, Jane Jewell, and Bill Hart, joined the organization during the year. Mr. Brandon and Mrs. Henderson were the eighth grade sponsors. Some of the projects the eighth grade attempted and accomplished were a Tom Say-vyer operetta and an early Christmas party. By the time the second year had rolled by and the coming of the third, this little organ- ization had gotten even smaller. Sometime during this fast-moving period it had lost Keith Dawson, Jimmy Adams, Jane Jewell, Rebecca Klein, Owen Kelley, and Bob Helton. Only twenty members made up the organization which was freshmen in September of 1956. The freshman year was off to a whale of a start with the selection of courses in which to major and freshman initiation. Gee, but it was great to be in high school even though they were only little ol' freshmen. The highlights of that year were a money-making project, and the sale of Christmas balls. Their assembly program , A Day at the Radio Station, written by our sponsor, Mr. Glen Coven, showed what happened behind the scenes at the radio station. The following officers were selected to represent the organization: president, Steve Sealsg vice president, Gene Blackg secretary, Hope Boyer, treasurer, Gene Ellemang news reporter, James Vellenga, and Student Council representative, Darlene Orr. . Stella Caudill, Bill Frost, and Roger Thompson joined them in the freshman term but no one left.
