We soon toned down, however, after attending the initiat- ion party given us by the Sophomores. The only other event we took an active part in during the year, was the annual production of the Hi-Lites. We chose the following officers to lead us through the year: President, Dave OhmangVice-President, Jim Kampg Secretary, Joanne Worden: Treasurer, Joy Stevens. Upon entering our Sophomore year we brought with us the pep and enthusiasm that it takes for a class to go places. As leader for our enthusiastic group, we elected Jim Kamp as Presidentg Bill Force, Vice-Presidentg Marilyn Zwyghuizen, Secretaryg and Sally Heald, Treasurer. With all of our get-up-and-go power, we put on a very successful initiation party for the Freshmen, and also gave our first All-High party with the theme Sweetheart's Swing, which proved to be as highly successful. Our Junior year was started off by our magazine sales, followed by our very successful class play entitled, I Remember Mama. Later, we sold taffy, ordered and received our class rings, and took part in the Hi-Lites. The year was brought to its eventful close by our Junior gl Senior Prom, with the theme Stairway to the Stars. The gym was decorated with dark blue paper, spotted with dainty silver stars. To one side there was a garden scene decorated with a white picket fence and lawn chairs. The walls were decorated with a brick design, and a little lantern hung from the wall. A square dance held in the gym early in October started the activities for our Senior year. This was followed by our annual Senior dinner along with our All-High Christmas party, entitled Holly Hop. This dance was the first to be presented in the new auditorium. With Lou Allen's Orchestra providing? the music, and Christmas trees and hollys decorating the gym, the dance proved to e a big success. Under the direction of Miss Law, we gave our annual Senior play, Green Valley which was the first play to be presented on our new stage. Many of our Seniors took part in the operetta, HMS Pina.fore, which was presented on February 25, 1956. The closing months of our Senior year were high-lighted by the preparations for our Senior boat trip to Chicago, and our graduation exercises. Our officers, who guided us through this year so triumphantly, were as follows: Bill Roberts, Presidentg Dave Ohman, Vice-President: Karen Koster, Secretary: Mary VerStrate, Treasurer. Our sponsors, who were so helpful to us, were Mrs. Moody and Mr. Docter. Without them, our year would not have been completed.

Coach Dudas and Co-Captains Harry Vosburg and Jim Potter led the squad through the 1956 campaign. High point men were Vosburg, who participated in the high jump, in which he set the school record in 1955, 5' 11 3f4 , pole vault, and both the high and low hurdles, and Potter who ran either the mi1e 'N or the half-mile in the duel meets. ' Q 1 Q' 1 The 1955 Cross Country team finish- ed fifth in the Grand Valley League as well as fifth in the conference and four- th in the regionals. Harry Vosburg was the t63I'1 1'S leading runner and was bea- ten in only one of the duel meets. Jim Potter placed second in the regionals. The 1955 Tennis team finished second in the Grand Valley League. This year with the whole squad returning, the net- ters were given a good chance to take the championship. James Kamp was the No. 1 singles player while Rikky Smith and Jerry Hayes were No. 1 doubles. 1 3 Qaoaahmzq emzda ,,4- V I f V ,, ..-bm. .Q,zr . sg V .,kv,'.',u. .b ,. N.

This year the nine returning lettermen were defending the champ- ionship. The Bulldogs faced a tough schedule in that they had to face East Grand Rapids, which had finished second in the standings in 1955 in the first game of the season April 12. This year it was Jerry McKenney behind the plate calling the pit- ches for Ron Hanlon and Steve Bosworth. Doug Japinga and Glen Smith operated around the keystone sack for the Bulldogs, with Pat McCul- lough at first base. In the outfield it was Steve when he wasn't pitching and John Brack rounding out the veterans. Two of the three seniors who will be lost to the squad for next year are pictured above. Pat McCullough is missing from the pictures.
