CLASS HISTORY It all started 12 years ago, when a group of sleepy-eyed students filed into a class- room early one morning. We began a long hard climb to the top and now, have finally reached that goal. Our first few years were spent in making many acquaintances, and in becoming ac- customed to rising early in the morning. l don't suppose many of us remember much about the classroom work, but all of a sudden we found we could pick up a news- paper and read a few words. And then, just 4 years ago, we began the final steps up that ladder. How time has flown! In our freshman year we wel- comed Jim Romine and Jackie Miers to our class. For the first time a school dance was held. The baseball team annexed the county championship. When we were sophomores three of our classmates were elected as cheerleaders CBetty, Paul, and Margej. Our basket- ball team won the sectional and regional tourneys, and advanced to the finals of the Semi-Finals at Muncie. Our baseball team again won the county champion- ship. And then, joy of all joys, our maroon and white class sweaters arrived. No one could have been prouder! Last year our basketball team won the county tourney. Our baseball team annexed its third consecutive county championship. Again three members of our class were chosen as cheerleaders CBetty, Paul, Margej. We presented our first class play, Jumping Jewelsv, and we received our be- loved class rings! Betty Eastes, Jack Eisen- hart and Beverly Rogers were welcomed into our class in the course of the year. Bob Lines also returned to our class, mak- ing the 34th member to graduate. This year we again presented a play, In Again! Out Again! . Wfe were kept busy exchanging senior pictures and hand- ing name cards to admiring under-class- men. Our basketball team again won the county tourney and lost only one game during the course of the year. CConverse 37-38 overtimej. A halloween carnival was held for the first time and two seniors-Jack Colescott and Margie Eubank were elected king and queen. Now we stand at the top. Ready to ad- vance forth into the world to find our place. It hasn,t been easy, and as our motto says, we are Not Finished: just Begun .
