SENIOR OFFICERS Left to right: Deanna Kisner, Jack Burdett, Robert Nicholson, Paul Currey. CLASS HISTORY In September of 54 we entered the halls of G.H.S. confused, timid, and feeling awkward, wearing large red bows, which was a part of our initiations. As freshmen usually are we vere green but we learned fast. We got off to a good start by electing our class officers; Paul Currey, President; Benny Garrett, Vice President; Shirley Devers, Secretary; Ada Kemple, Treasurer. Although still not upper classmen we weren't green anymore, and as sophomores we were a little more confident of ourselves than we were as freshmen. To prove our confidence and ability our boys won the class basketball tournaments. We elected our class officers; Ada Kemple, President; Jack Burdett, Vice President; Deanna Helm Kisner, Secretary; Jim Tucker, Treasurer. In September 1956 we at last became Juniors and upperclassmen. We started things off by electing our officers—John Blue, President; Robert Nicholson, Vice President; Michael Milinovich, Secretary; Tom Cuppett, Treasurer. President JACK BURDETT Vice President DEANNA KISNER Secretary................... ROBERT NICHOLSON Treasurer PAUL CURREY We raised $1,062.83 in our magazine campaign for a big accomplishment in the form of the Junior-Senior Banquet and John Blue was the outstanding individual in the campaign by selling the greatest number of subscriptions and winning a watch. In February of 1957 we presented the play Young April which was directed by Miss Batten, with a splendid cast. Our senior year at last. But really the past three years have gone terribly fast and it would be fun to be a freshman again. Or would it? The election of class officers was our means of reorganizing for another school year, when we elected Jack Burdett, as President; Deanna Helm Kisner, Vice President; Robert Nicholson, Secretary; Paul Currey, Treasurer. In May we proudly, but sadly walked up and received our diplomas. Now we are going out into the world. We have had some wonderful times in high school, and also our share of troubles. We will separate, forget, and be forgotten, but stiJI the memories of these four years together will always be imprinted in our minds and hearts. Left to right: Mr. Haselden, Miss Batten, Mr. McKinney, Mr. Faulkner.
