In the fall of 1954, boys and girls from Bownhelm, Cam- den, Henrietta and Birmingham schools, were brought together under one roof to be made into one group-the students of Firelands High School. Part of this group was the Sophomore class, the first Sophomore class in the history of Firelands High. Rivalry was a high-pitched ring in the ears of the students who were wary, at first, of mixing with those from other schools. No one dared to be the first to be named traitor to his original classmates by associating with his new classmates, outsiders from those other schools. But soon, however, the high-pitched inaudible hum, which by now has died out com- pletely. lt really didn't take too long to find out that kids from other schools were iust as nice-well almost as nice and as friendly as the guys and gals from our previous schools. lt's better to ioin'em than fight'em, so finally as a group-indivis- ible, fated to graduate in i957, we pushed our ego's aside, and like a quiver full of arrows sent into learned flight by the bows of knowledge held in the able hands of the archer-faculty, we sped on our way towards our goals. As we went merrily on our way we felt the guiding hand of Mr. Matheny toward a greater degree of conformity than we had ever known before. Getting acquainted was made easier by All-school parties, participation in athletic and music or- ganizations, and by that stern necessity-classes. The Sophomore year sped by and before we knew it, it was spring, summer, then fall and back to- school again. Finally! Juniors! Upperclassmenl We made it! That was a real great year. Why with Bill Roberts trying to decide on which girl to go steady with and Anne Husted trying to make up her mind as to which boy was going to take her to the Prom, and Dubick and Bettcher always goofing off, the Junior class had quite a hectic year. Then came the final year of toil. Our. senior year was one not-to-be-forgotten experience. Indeed we mean experience, Of course, the highlight of the year for all seniors, is the senior trip to Washington, D.C. Any senior will tell you that the trip is really worthwhile. We truly enjoyed the prom given us by the junio-rs. The good food, beautiful decorations, and entertainment under the dimmed lights of the auditorium, made it a pleasant evening which we will never forget. lAnne Husted didn't have much trouble deciding who she was going to the prom with this timeri Well, we've finally reached our goal, the summation of twelve years of readin', writin' and 'rithmetic. We'll remember always-graduation day. George Dubick ,V sig if W' - . U . , . . ,. ......,,..., tit wivvzsfiw tr is 'Vs sv fr'-Sb X, 5 S.. ' 'Ts .'.- ,Pri lo' it . K . ge! F. A ' A ,f ix 5 I.
