SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Leafing through the scrapbook of the ciuss of 234, we came across some very interesting and amusing articles. On the first page we discovered the fact that we started off our freshman year with 7? students, but lost 14 during that first year. We surely were a large class then, and itls too bad that our member- ship had to dwindle so fast. We also discovered some pictures and stories of several activities which we undertook that first year. A few of them included food sales, plastic towel sales, initiation, talent show, kid party, Fall Festival at which Jim Mitchener and Judy Sicks were our candi- dates for king and queen, and an apron special. Our class officers were president, Marvin Small- Mary eyg vice-president, Buss Williams, secretary, Agnes Partridgeg treasurer, Eddine Lawsong social chairmen, Rex Buller and Mary Lynn Becky histor- ian, Linda Kerschnerg student council representa- tives, Judy Sicks and Rex Buller. Our class sponsors were Mr. and Mrs. Cloud. Flipping on through the pages we came to the section entitled Soph Year, which was also a time had a of activities and fun. During this year we penny supper, skating party, class parties, a Hallo- ween party at Marlene Yale's, and our three class plays: Custer's Last Sit, Rising Flood, and Who Killed Ann Gage. The highlight of our sophomore year was ordering and receiving our class sweaters, which were navy blue with n-avy letters trimmed in burnt orange. Marvin Smalley and Linda Kersichner were our king and queen candidates at the Fall Festival and our cl-ass sponsors were Mrs. Cloud and Mr. Caughell. The class officers for this year were president, Rex Buller, vice-president, Judy Sicks: secretary, Mary Lynn Beck: treasurer, Linda Kerschnerg historian, Linda Rothg sergeant-at-arms, Jim Mitchnerg social chairmen, Phil Eastburn and Phyllis Howell: student council representatives, Marvin Smalley and Mary Agnes Partridge. We started our junior year off with a bang by ordering our long-awaited-for class rings which were, of course, Cor at least we thought sob the best ones ever. We also noticed on one of the scrapbook pages an article describing our new banking system. This was set up for the purpose of -obtaining more funds for the senior trip. A few other activities listed for this year were the Halloween Dance, at which Lind-a Roth was the junior candidate for queen, a skating party, bake sales, our play 'tMeet Corliss Archer , which was given in the round, and our junior-senior prom. As it was our turn to arrange the prom, we held it in the Spencer Hotel ballroom with decorations pertain- ing to the theme of Undersea Fantasies. Judy Sicks, Eddine Lawson, Linda Roth, and Dwight Crouch received the honor of being chosen to -attend Girls' State and Boys' State with Lynn Beck and Marvin Smalley as alternates. Our sponsors were again Mrs. Cloud and Mr. Caughell and our class officers were president, Mar- vin Smalleyg vice-president, Judy Sicks: secretary, Linda Rothg treasurer, Linda Kerschnerg student council representatives, Eddine Lawson, Rex Buller, and Dwight Crouch: social chairmen, Lynn Beck and Dwight Crouch. And last, but not least, we 'turned to the final pages of the book on which pictures and items por- trayed the events of our senior year. This was the year in which we played our first conference game in football with our senior guys helping out a lot. Activities listed for this season were skating par- ties, football dance, Halloween dance at which Linda Roth was candidate for queen, senior play, Little Women, talent show, and a bean supper. We also held the annual magazine sales with Marlene Yale as high salesman. We found on a page, all by itself, a picture of Eddine Lawson and ian article telling of her winning the D. A. R. award. I remember everyone was happy for her, because she surely deserved it. The saddest parts of our scrapbook were the items telling about ordering our caps and gowns, name cards, invitations, -and senior pictures. These were the times when we really began to feel as if we were leaving F. H. S. and all our friends and teach- ers. So when baccalaureate and commencement ar- rived on the 9th and 10th of May, most of us were feeling pretty depressed. But this mood didn't last too long, though, as we were anticipating an event which was to take place five days after graduation. The last pages of our book were filled with pic- tures, stories, and sovenir of the climax to our high school life, the senior trip. This trip, taken with the Miller Bus Tours, lasted from the 15th to the 21st of May and was filled with interest and fun for all. And now we close the book on the pages of what will probably be the best years of our lives, with a sincere farewell to each and everyone we are leaving behind.
