SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1951 one hundred and two awestruck Freshmen entered Highland High School. From that day until commencement night we ' ve grown toward a goal and enjoyed our days together. The class colors were chosen as blue and silver with the flower being a yellow rose. Those elected to be our officers during 1951-52 were Lowell Antenen, President; Muriecelberg, Vice-President; Janet Messerli, Secretary; Larry Mettler, Treasurer; and Marilyn Frankland and David Koch, Student Council members. It was during the Sophomore year that the class began plans for a Senior trip. In the fall we began individual work projects as raking leaves, baby sitting, house work, etc. For the class fund basketball group and individual pictures were sold, as well as programs. By the end of the year we had quite a sum of money collected and could already see our trip becoming a reality. The slate of officers that lead us during that year of 1952-53 were Mary Herbst, president; Lois Schwehr, Vice-President; Diana Rogier, Secretary; Roland Malan, Treasurer; and Larry Mettler, Student Council member. Between our Sophomore and Junior years the Junior Variety Show was planned. After a lot of work and rehearsals we gave one of the most satisfactory and successful shows at H.H.S. Again during this year we undertook many work projects as selling neckties, candy, and hot dogs, entertaining at the Homecoming, holding bake sales, and decorating for the Regional Tournament held at Highland. No one can deny that we were an enthusiastic, industrious class. It was during this same year we picked our class rings; ours being the first with a standard crest. Towards the end of the year we gavo a beautiful Junior -Senior Prom en- titled, Enchanted Woodland. David Koch and Carol Winet ushered the graduating class in their baccal- aureate and commencement exercises. The officers for the year of 1953-54 were Bill Tuffli, President; Carol Winet, Vice-President; Lizann Habbegger, Secretary; Bob Nagel, Treasurer; and Sue Loyet, Student Council member. Those first three years passed so fast that before we realized it, we were the graduating class of H. H.S. The officers for our Senior year are shown above. In the fall we gave a box social for the school and sold food at four basketball games and soda at football games. On April 15, 1955 we gave one of the most successful performances at H.S.S.--a Variety Show representing different magazines. The class is very proud of BiU Tuffli ' s accomplishments in sports and of two of its members, Carol Winet, 1954 Home- coming Oueen, and Lizann Habbegger, 1955 Special Maid of Honor. From May 23-28 the class took that wonderful trip to Washington, D.C. On May 22 was our Baccalaureate Service at the E R Church of Highland and the Graduation exercises were held on June 1st at the Highland High School Gymnasium. The goal we had been striving for was attained. We owe a great thanks to Mr. Stratton, Miss Harris, Miss Sparkman, Mrs. Courtway, and Mr. Grismer, who served as class sponsors during our four years at H. H.S. As we leave H.H.S. we will not forget the four beautiful, successful years that have passed. Our class motto, Today we foUow, tomorrow we lead, will linger in our minds as we strive to achieve tb ' goal in life. 12
