7he Hintony ofi the Cla i oft 1957 In the fall of 1953, we, the Class of 1957, were enrolled in our first year of high school. Our officers for our freshman year were Martha Steeby, president; Mildred Hartman, vice-president; Mike Bradley, secretary; and Joyce Michael, treasurer. That year, we were very ably represented on the Student Council by Nancy Blair and Laura Kirts. Our sponsors were Mrs. Miller and Mr. Erbisch. Shortly after the year began, there came an event that all of the sophomores had been anxiously awaiting. That event was the annual freshman initiation. We came to the evening initiation festivities in high style, wearing all of our clothes insideout and backwards. But it was all in good fun, and we survived without a scratch. September of 1954 saw us again returning to the halls of Homer High. We were then mighty sophomores. For that year, we picked the following as class officers: Joyce Michael, president; Helen Chamberlain, vice-president; Alma Til Ison, secretary; and Mildred Hartman, treasurer. Our representatives to the Student Council were Nancy Blair and Colleen Moor. As our sponsors, we chose Mr. Erbisch and Mr. Gustafson. This time when initiation rolled around, we were on the giving end and found it quite enjoyable. We gave the freshmen a very thorough going over. In April of that year we sponsored our first all school dance. The Spring Roundup. As our junior year began, we realized that we were already beginning our second half of high school. Our officers for the junior year were Mike Bradley, president; Blair Bascom, vice-president; Alma Til Ison, secretary; and Robert Chamberlain, treasurer. Mildred Hartman and Ervin Wood represented us on the Student Council, and our sponsors were Mr. Erbisch and Mr. Draime. Our junior year was a busy one. In the fall, we sponsored the annual Sadie Hawkins Dance. During the year, we ran half of the concession stands, sponsored bake sales, scrap and paper drives, and even sponsored one junk drive. In May of 1956, we honored the Class of '56 with the annual Jr.-Sr. Banquet and Prom. The theme of the prom was My Blue Heaven. It was greatly enjoyed by everyone that attended. When we enrolled last September, we realized that we were in the home-stretch of our high school careers. At last we were Seniors! The class officers for our final year were Robert Chamberlain, president; Mike Bradley, vice-president; Alma Til Ison, secretary; and Mildred Hartman and Nancy Blair, co-treasurers. Beverly Gregg and William Koons represented us on the Student Council. As our sponsors, we again chose Mr. Draime and Mr. Erbisch. After the first semester of this year, we found ourselves in the midst of a whirl of activities and plans for graduation. Before we realized it, our high school days were coming to a close. We finished our final year with the Jr.-Sr. Prom and our Senior Trip to Washington, D.C., New York City, and Niagara Falls. Now that we are saying farewell to old Homer High, we wish to express our utmost thanks to our sponsors, parents, and teachers, all of whom have given us that ever-welcome helping hand during the years we have spent in school.
