THE TROJAN 9 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Motto: Non progredl est regredi Not to go forward is to go backward Colors: Blue and Whit© Flower; White Rose We, as a group of thirty two happy-go-lucky Freshmen, marched into the large red brick schoolhouse. As dignified as Freshmen can be, we elected: President, Clayton Robison; Vice President, Renny Cutcher; Secretary, Nancy Cunningham; Treasurer, Dorothy Smith. Miss Wells took over the difficult task of being our class advisor. We went through the usual routine of tug-of-war, initiation, and reception. As Sophomores, numbering thirty one, we met with our advisor, Miss Wells, and elected officers. The officers were as follows: President, Renny Cutcher; Vice President, Mary Jarosz; Secretary, Louise Lrumm; Treasurer, Eliz.aoeth roxk. We had all the thrill of initiating the Freshies, the tug-of-war, then the reception. The Junior year found much excitement for us. There were twenty-eight in our class and this year Miss Holcomb became our advisor. ’We received our class rings and picked out our class banner. After hours of practice, we presented Crashing Society on Merch 7th and 8th. Our officers were: President, Robert Anderson; Vice President, Stanley Carrick; Secretary, Nancy Cunningham; Treasurer, Mary Jarosz. We enjoyed very much taking part in Commencement, thus closing a happy and profitable school year. At last, we are Seniors. Twenty four of us. With heads high, hopes high, and spirits high we try to achieve our goal. Miss Holcomb again became our advisor. We started the year with election of officers: President, Ivan Fast; Vice President, Louis Baird; Secretary, Peggy Finley Treasurer, Mary Jarosz. V e presented our Senior Play, Home Town Girl in the fall. At the end of the year we are planning to take a trip to Washington D. C. and wish to extend our appreciation to all those who have helped us with this project. During the year we have held several dances, had charge of an Amateur Show, sold candy and other refreshments at entertainment and in other ways attempted to earn money for the trip. With forward glances toward the Prom and Commencement, we close a happy, incomparable book of knowledge wishing good luck to all we leave in Homer High School.
