In May, Beverly Hendrickson joined our group and in June, Joan Popple. Our class officers were Isabelle Shampine, Pres- ident; Vena Hubbard, vice President; Helen Ferguson, Sec. and Treas.; and Eleanor Rowe, class Historian. Miss Dorothy Brining, Home Economics teacher, acted as class advisor. During this year our class funds and dues gave us a total of $68.55. We loss one member, Joyce Bacon. Class Officers of our Sophomore year were William Popple, President; Isabelle Shampine, vice President; Vena H ubbard. Sec. and Treas.; and Phyllis Johnson, class Historian. Frank Schneck, commercial teacher, was class advisor. In April, we welcomed Marguerite Glasby to our class. The latter part of the year, Earl Hand and Isa- belle Shampine left our group. Our financial standing at the end of this year was $150.97. Our Junior year officers were Vena Hubbard, Pres- ident; Donald Slate, vice President; Phyllis Johnson, Secretary; Beverly Hendrickson, Treasurer; and Eleanor Rowe, class Historian. Miss Rutlie Bitz, musical instr- uctor, acted as class advisor. During the year we lost Helen Ferguson and Joan Popple and gained a member, Joyce Miller. We received our class rings and had two class activities, which were not very successful as our treasury account of $141.64, showed at the end of the year. Officers elected in our Senior year were Vena Hub- bard, President; Donald Slate, vice President; Phyllis Johnson, Secretary; Beverly Hendrickson, Treasurer; and Eleanor Rowe, class Historian. Curti3 Bristol, commer- cial teacher, accepted as class advisor. We were pleased to find Earl Hand, an old member, back with us. In Nov- ember, the Senior play, “Let Me Out of Here , was presented which gave us a profit of $118.03. Our supper which we put on In February was a minor success. The dance vre sponsored in October and our St. Patricks Day dance increased our Treasury account. Minor activities such as food sales, scrap drives, and candy resales, gave us a much better financial outlook toward our class trip in tfuly. We think of this trip as a wonderful conclusion to four years which were well spent.
