Class History We, Merry Freshmen, walked into Galesburg-Augusta High School, with the enthusiasm, ambition and big ideas which all Freshmen possess, and thrilled to death because we could now choose our subjects to suit ourselves, and our interests. As we began that year, our class advisors were “The Burrells . We started that adventurous year with Aurelia Alaria, Bruce Barker, Dorothy Beatty, Shirley Blackney, Jim Bolton, Leon Book, Frank Hasty, Frank Bowen, Bob Bradley, Martha Brown, Jim Call, Sharon Champion, Duane Doty, Don Haist, Dave Henson, Edwin Horn, Dena Imus, Harriet Johnston, Howard Kimball, Nellie Knetsch, Carol Knight, Ted Lewis, Jerry Lorio, Doris Martin, Doris Meade, Norma Neifert, Dale Scott, Joan Streling, Jim Tibbitts, John Turson, and Eleanor Welling. After having a rip-roaring time and seeing to it that nearly all the teachers in high school had started to get their gray hair, we entered our Sophomore year with a very spirited feeling. This year Edwin Horn, Howard Kimball, and Bob Bradley left us and we added Arlene Collins, Bob Crawford, John Cutler, Marcelin Day, Patty Dunnithan, Mary Dunn, Bob Godde, Elizabeth Hollaway, Henry Johnson, Edith Jones, Doris Manning, Dave Noud, Donann Pate, Christene Perkins, Jeanette Pervine, Mary Richardson, Marvin Richardson, Raymond Sharp, Harry Shirley, Martha Smith, Dick Sosinski, Gene Stuifbergen, and Imogene Pate, thus making our class about twice as large as before. This year we started taking more interest in making money for our Senior trip. However, we still managed to get a lot of fooling around done also, but as a whole we had a great year. Then there was the three months vacation ending again and we found ourselves back in school for our Junior year. That year Arlene Collins and Dick Sosinski moved away and Frank Hasty joined the Air Force, and Imogene Pate, Marcelin Day, and Shirley Blackney decided they wanted a ' Full-time Job , instead of an education. In place of those we lost, we gained Kingsley Newcombe, and Bob (Let s take a vote on it) Sharp. During that year we had many new and different experiences, among them the Prom and the Play. However, by May and even before that, we were ready for a vacation, most of us planning to work. When school once more took up in the Fall, we lost Carol Knight, Ted Lewis, Bob Crawford, Harry Shirley, Mary Dunn, and Donann Pate. And we gained Ruth Dean and Jack Jordan. This year we really lived it up!!! We really thought we were Big Shots!!! pur graduating class of 1953 will be Aurelia Alaria, Bruce Barker, Dorothy Beatty, Jim Bolton, Leon Book, Frank Bowen, Jim Call, Sharon Champion, John Cutler, Duane Doty, Patty Dunithan, Bob Godde Ruth Dean, Don Haist, Dave Henson, Elizabeth Hollaway, Dena Imus, Harriet Johnston e nry Johnson Jack Jordan, Edith Jones, Nellie Knetsch, Jerry Lorio, Doris Manning, Doris Martin, Doris Meade Dave Noud, Norma Neifert, Kingsley Newcombe, Christene Perkins, Jeanette Pervine, cry Richardson, Marvin Richardson, Dale Scott, Raymond Sharp, Bob Sharp, Gene Stuifbergen, Martha Smith, Jim Tibbitts, John Turson, and Eleanor Welling.
