CLASS HISTORY In September of the year 19 5 twelve of the present graduating class entered Edison Grade School on their long search for education. They were: Connie DeMoss, Don Henning, Bob Huber, Jim Hurt, Sh'r’.ey Leetch, Bill Leonard, Don Merrill, John Nance, Delores Paternoster, Jack Schmidt, Florence Schmidlgsll and Marilyn Steidinger. This number increased as the years passed and when our class entered the portals of F. T. H. S. we were forty-nine in number. During this year Marilyn Steidinger was elected cheerleader for the class, and she has held that position all four years. “Tune In” was presented by the music department, under the direction of Mrs. James Winn, in which a number of the class participated. Our first year at F. T. H. S. passed quickly, and the following year we find forty- seven eagerly desiring more education. We organized with Eob Huber being elected class president; Bill Leonard took the office of vice-president, and Dick Kilgus served as our secretary-treasurer. We were represented in every activity, and by this time Alfred Haase, Jim Hurt, and Stanley Vail had been admitted into F Club. Only forty returned the following fall to continue their education. Now as Juniors we elected Jim Hurt our class president; Stanley Vail, the vice-president; Don Merrill served as secre ary of the class; and Reva Carder was treasurer of the class. It was during our Junior year that we began to show promise in athletics. We were well represented in each sport, and members of the class received letters in football, basketball, and baseball. Our dramatic ability was shown to the world with our suc- cessful production of “Junior Miss” under the direction of Miss Marjorie Kemple. Hollywood Eound was the music production of this year, directed by Mr. Robert Cummins. Guy Eandy, Jim Hurt and Marilyn Steidinger had leading roles. We put “Music in the ir” at our Junior-Senior banquet and sang rhymes about each of the Seniors. We now closed our reign as Juniors to return the following year to take up the dignified roles of Sen;ors. As the class of ’47 we were now thirty-eight in number. Don Broquard was elected to serve as Senior class president; and to work with him we chose foanne Moser as vice-president; Reva Carder was elected secretary; and Don Merrill served as treasurer. By popular vote Stanlev Vail was elected Studen Council president. The Senior c’a s was also represented by Reva Carder, Vera Han’ ins, and Jim Hurt. It was a gala occasion when Reva Carder was elected Homecoming Queen. In her court Margie Craig, Dolores Doran, Joanne Moser and Marilyn Steidinger served as attendants. This year with the able leadership of Miss Betty Jordan we produced our Crier. Jane Burt has performed the duty of editor-in-chief. Now as we leave F. T. H. S. to the classes which will follow we hope that they may work as diligently as we to uphold the traditions of F. T. H. S. 24
