CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1950, a bunch of scared, dubious but thrilled kids entered the lfreshman homeroom. They soon found out, however, that the high school routine wasn't so awesome after all - - the teachers didn't bite and Nlr. Coch- ran, their advisor, was helpful in a wonderful and understanding way. Early in the year they voted the following officers: President, Ted Espenschiedg Vice President, Donna Stout: Sec'y., Barbara Townsend, Treas., Susie Broth- ersg and Student Council: Bonnie Tessmer and Don Hershberger. They initiated themselves into the social life with a square dance, open to the public and called by Doctor Lotz, one of Hartville's better loved citizens by teen- agers. Football was good this year and Bonnie Tessmer was elected the Queen's Freshman Attendant for the Home- coming Game and the Dance. They showed their business prowess by selling shakeroos at the games and selling wreaths about town at Christmas time. They started their Sopohomore year by choosing these class officers: President, -lackie Knowles: Sec'y., Ted Es- penschiedg Treas., Susie Brothers: and Student Council: Alice Schuck and Don Hershberger. The class number in- creased by one with the arrival of Charlie Byrd. Susie Brothers was the honored Sophomore attendant to the Queen and Homecoming festivities in 51. A memorable occasion and just for fun was a hayride for the class around Hallo- ween time. And, oh yes, they were allowed to order their jackets this year - - big time! They won the magazine sales drive by a large -margin and also were the Winners of the contest in this endeavor between grades seven through twelve. Having discovered a little work and industrious endeavor increased the bank account, they earn- ed more money by several paper drives. Well seasoned now, they called themselves juniors and proved their importance by wearing their jackets. Great day! They were blue gabardine, sporting a large emblem, the class original design. Donna Stout was the Queen's attendant this year. Next on the list, class officers were voted: President, Nlargo Nlacliusickg Vice President, Don- na Stoutg Sec'y., Bonnie Tessmerg Treas. Susie Brothers. The junior play, What a Life was a great success and the class found out it had some actors and actresses of no mean account. Class rings were ordered this year. Social life was beginning to whirl with dances. A Color Dance was the first, then a few minor Ones and following these the grand Junior and Senior Prom held April 25th at the Alliance Country Club. April in Parisl' was the theme and a beautiful party it was. Six members left the class this year: Glennis Oswald, VVayne Stutzman, Eldon Wolf, Barbara Townsend, Betty Goodin and .loyce Strang. Despite the Class's smaller mnnber this was their most pros- perous year. They had the usual drives, sold Christmas wreaths and most important, had charge of the concession stand at all home football and basketball games. By now their bank account was the envy of the school. At long last they were Seniors, that very honorable position in life. Their final voting of class officers went like this: President, Sam Bockiusg Vice President, Ted Espenschiedg Sec'y., ,lim Besse: and Treasurer, Susie Brothers. Early in the fall they received their rings with much excitement. Before Christmas the business of Senior picture- taking at Troup and Plutols was all over. Homecoming was a grand affair with the Seniors traditionally in charge. October 10th was the date and Susie Brothers was voted Queen with lfleanor Pontius as Senior attendant. Two students, Charlie Byrd and Dorothy Slaybaugh left the class this year but their places were filled by two newcomers, De-Loris Stadler and Keinam Song. The Seniors were happy and proud to have Keinam, all the way from Korea, as a class member. Nloney making projects this year were Christmas wreath and candy sales and on April 10th, a chicken supper aided and abetted by Senior mothers. Social life whizzed with parties, dances and activities. The Y- Teen Formal was gay and colorful through the efforts of those on the committee, who designed and painted the decor 'for the cafeteria asa merry-go-round and a carnival to fit the dance theme, Carousal. The Senior Y- Teens also put on a talent show as the year's last meeting and invited eighth grade girls CY-Teens of next yearj to attend. Another junior-Senior Prom again and very elegant it was, too, and with never to be forgotten memor- ies. The class got a smattering of Art Appreciation when they visited the Canton Art Gallery April 12th. The Sen- ior play, Samuel French's Broadway hit, Goodbye lkly Fancy, was presented March 19th and 20th. Through lXIr. Purviance's artistry as director plus some fine talent among the class, the play was a great success. Nearing the end of school, all Seniors were anticipating the trip to VVashington and the wonderful experiences there. Baccalaur- eate came all to soon with Rev. Huprich the speaker. Then Commencement arrived, that sad and glad day. Vale- dictorian, Margo Niacliusick and Salutatorian, Frances Susco gave the student speeches with Reverend Ralph M. Besse as guest speaker. So long remembered will be the bitter and the sweet of being a Senior and having to say goodbye. This is the Class History and may the Class of '54 continue to make history always!
