The year, 1955 rolled around to behold another group of Freshman that were just a bit extraordinary. One reason was that our class was larger in number and perhaps more mischievous. The class officers of that year were: President, Freida Hollander, Vice-president, Rachel Braun, Secre- tary, George Rinkerg Treasurer, Dorothy White. The class found that all these years they had been sheltered by a shell from the more rugged ele- ments of life. Each took it upon himself to find out what lay concealed in the future and the year closed with each inquisitive mind having achieved a small bit of sophistication. As Sophomores of 56-57 the class found some of its members gone only to find new ones to take their place. The class soon found itself going places, with Preston Scott as president, Olive lobster, vice-president, Rachel Braun, Secretary and Floyd Dawson, Treasurer. After looking around it became visible that each of the class had a little more knowledge of practical experience such as any sum er vacation can teach. The sophomores presented a banner with the Tiger emblem on It, to the Hamilton High School. The Sophcmores adjourned with minds that had absorbed a minimum of that which was bestowed upon them. The entire class bid the year good-bye and welcomed the triumphs that were to be found in the following year. The Freshman of 1955 and 56 have now transformed themselves into the more nearly dignified Juniors of 57-58. With its 'Wagon Hitched to a Stern the class is finding itself advancing to its designated place of honor. The following officers assumed their duties after another class election: President, Daisy Christliebg Vice-president, Phil Wilsong Secretary, Ethel Barbg Treasurer, James Barnes. The days in the coming school term were filled with work and much application. First a Junior play nThe Go-getter' was presented. The play was deemed a Kcontlnued on Page 183 J Page 10
