If IGIQ HISTQIQV The senior class of 1955 can now look back at the experiences of the last four years at HCHS with pleasure. First of all we recall the trials and tribulations of our freshman year. Out of eighty-one classmates we elected Bruce Cork as President, Virginia Aylesworth as Vice-President, Jim Shotliif as Secretary, and Don Lowe M Treasurer. It was decided that we would have Miss Thelma Englund as our class sponsor. Like most freshman classes, we lost the magazine contest. Our only activity was a hayride and a weiner roast. With an enrollmen of sixty-eight at the beginning of our sophomore year, we chose Mary Hopkins as our President, Richard Brady as our Vice-President, Linda Carter as our Secretary, and Don Lowe again as our Treasurer. As money-raising projects that year we sold sweat shirts, sponsored a dance, and had a concession. As juniors our dream of graduating was becoming a realityg we were upperclassmen. With this came our main activities. First was the Junior Play, called Love Rides the Rails, a most successful play. Next came the Juni or-Senior Prom with the theme being How Deep Is the Ocean. The Junior-Senior Banquet was held at Log Lodge in Rogkford, Other important events included ordering and receiving our rings, having a paper drive, and winning first prize for our Homecoming Hoat. The closing year of our days at Honon egah brought Larry Case as our President, Jim Shotliff as our Vice-President, Barbara Olmstead as our Secretary, and Marilyn Po- panz as our Treasurer. For money-making projects we had the Homecoming dance and Concession, our play, a talent show, noon lunches, proceeds from the milk and candy machines, sold taffy and all-occasion cards. Last, but not least, came our long-awaited senior trip . . . and GRADUATION !! -.161
