SEIIIUH IILHSS UF 1954 STANDING: Mr. Cowgill, Mr. Bellon, Advisors: M. Mess, and B. Connelly. SEATED: E. Tyree and D. Martin. The class of 1954 began its career of four interesting and active years in F. H,S. early in September, 1950. During the first year they elected Bill Con- nelly, pres., Dan Martin, vice-pres, Dorothy Bright, treas., and June Oyama, sec. Miss Connor was the class advisor. That first great year in high school began with that deplorable Freshman Initiation and ended gloriously with a last-day-of-school picnic at Mann's Creek. In the fall of 1951, the class returned as sophomores. Again the class chose Bill Connelly, pres. g Rudy Henggeler, vice-pres., with Peggy Christensen, sec., and Evelyn Evans, treas. Mr. Lewis was the unlucky faculty member to be our class advisor. As sophomores we forgot about our feelings toward Freshman Initiation and like all the classes before us we did unto others as it was done unto us. At the end of the year we ventured to Ferncroft for our school picnic. As 1952 rolled around we triumphantly took our places as upperclassmen, Rudy Henggeler was elected pres., Dan Martin, vice-pres. 5 Earlene Tyree, sec.g and Ruth Glasson, treas. Our advisors were Miss Grable and Mr. Bart- lett. May they forgive us for all the problems we, as juniors, dealt them. On March 27 of that year our young hearts blossomed in our first class play entitled Professor, How Could You? We paid our respects to the preceding class by honoring them with the Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet, May ZZ. This event-packed year came to a happy close with a picnic at Garden Valley. At last, in the fall of 1953, our class appeared with shoulders squared, chin raised, and lips parting in a'triumphant smile--the characteristics so common to all seniors. The first memorable event of the year was the receiving of the class rings. The class officers elected to lead us were Marvin Mess, pres.g Dan Mar- tin, vice-pres. fa third-term manlg Bill Connelly, sec. 3 and Earlene Tyree, treas. Mr. Bellon and Mr, Cowgill were the class advisors. The one ambition of the Senior class was to raise enough money for the Senior Sneak. Well, enough money was raised to pay for a popoorn machine and to sponsor the Senior Ball held March 20. The Sneak--? Well!! !? ? ? June 4 was set'aside as the final day of distinction for the class of 1954. On that memorable day we received our long-awaited diplomas and bade our last fare- well as students to the halls of Fruitland High.
