The noon hour bell may mean dismissal for lunch to the students but for our cooks it’s the beginning of a mad rush to the cafeteria where hot, tasty, appetizing food is prepared for the student body. We. the 1957 graduating class, will never forget the smiling faces of our cooks as they so ably do their work. All of us are proud of our cooks. Left to right: Mrs. Lena Grob. Mrs. Blanche Stutler. and Mrs. Dorothy McWilliams. The first to arrive in the morning and the last to go home at night are the custodians of Grafton High School. It is they who keep our building warm during the winter months, cut the grass in the summer, and clean all year. They are known by all the students at G.H.S. for their friendliness. We wish to thank these people for helping to make Grafton High a comfortable place in which to live and learn. Mr. Richard Ford, and Mrs. Nettie Smith. (Unphotographed) Mr. Tom McWilliams, and Mr. James Isner. SW 'D'Uvwl Through all kinds of weather our bus drivers hold a very responsible job. They see that students safely get to school in the morning and back home again in the evening. However difficult their job may be, they have always done it very efficiently. All the students realize what a major part they play in our everyday school life. Left to right: Earl Junker, Roy Vandergrift, Roy Nose, Douglas McDonald, Howard Dillon. Kenny Posier.

We will always have memories, both happy and sad, of the years we spent in Grafton High; but most of all these memories of friends who have shared these years with us. In September, 1953, we entered the halls of G.H.S. as the first class initiated in assembly. After wearing red bows and suspenders as part of our initiation, we elected the following class officers: president, George Hershman; vice president, J. Fred Knotts; secretary, Nancy Lord; treasurer, Jeannie Crouser Roy. Little was heard from us as sophomores as we were looking forward to being upperclassmen. Our officers were: president, Tom Goff; vice president, Nancy Lord; secretary, Jackie Westfall; Treasurer, Kent Harman. In our junior year we elected these officers: president, Tom Goff; vice president. Bill Harman; secretary, Nancy Lord and treasurer, George Hershman, who carried us through the year with flying colors. We topped all previous classes in our magazine campaign and our record still stands. This money was used for our Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. We presented “Seventeen” for our junior class play, directed by Miss Ruth Batten, with a fine cast. We are very proud of the undefeated football team, which captured the State AA Championship and the Big Ten Conference Title. The seniors on the team are John Custer, George Hershman, Robert Jones, J. Fred Knotts, James Michel, Randall Murphy, Jack Newhouse, David Posey, and John Scragg. Our officers this year are president, George Hershman; vice president, John Scragg; secretary, Elizabeth Grow; and treasurer, J. Fred Knotts. Our dramatic talent was well displayed in the senior play, directed by Miss Ruth Batten. We have had a wonderful time together these four years. No matter where we go or what we do, the memory of our Alma Mater will always be warm in our hearts. 20
