Cindi Bennett, Sec’t; Lee Ales, Treasurer; Dale King, President; Kurt Christ, Vice President CLASS HISTORY In August of 1977, 68 timid freshmen set out on a new beginning. Our leaders at the foothills of our steep encounter were our president, Greg McCoy; our vice-president, Cheryl Crouch; secretary, Tammy Coulter; and our treasurer, Jim Haines. One of our first stumbling stones was initiation; however, we all survived. We received fourth place on our float, “Turks Last Leg”. Our stunt did not place. By the sophomore year of our climb, we had lost four classmates. To help pick up the pieces were our new president, Sharon Elliott; assisted by vice president, Cheryl Crouch; Secretary, Karen McGuire and treasurer, Tammy Pittman. We then discovered gold in the form of class rings. We started a small avalanche when our float ““We’re Expecting A Victory” took first place (an honor usually reserved for the senior class). Our stunt placed second. At the beginning of our junior year, our class had dwindled to 57 climbers. To lead us in this all-important year, we elected as president Sharon Elliott; Kevin Tompkins as vice president; Cindy Bennett as secretary and Lee Ales as treasurer. Again we conquered first place with our float, ““We’re Brewing Up A Victory.” Our stunt, as usual, didn’t place. In the spring of 1980 we presented a beautiful prom entitled, “We’ve Got Tonight.” In the fall of our senior year, 58 were reaching toward the top of the mountain with President Dale King, Vice President Kurt Christ; Secretary, Cindy Bennett and Treasurer Lee Ales in the lead. For our final efforts, our float, “A Whale Of A Victory”, placed second. Again, our stunt did not place. We all anxiously await our final conquest — graduation. For many of us the real climb has just begun, but the path we leave behind will long be remembered! |
