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

CIASS IDIQQIDHESV 0 3 Out of the past and into the future, let's see what's happened to our class. The year is now 1965. And here we see Duane Ackerman fitting false teeth to Marlene Barber, who had gotten into a quarrel with Clarenoe Dahlberg. The Cork and Hopkins Atomic Super Market, now run by Bruce and Mary, has employed Bill Downey as head cashier and Sally Sprightly as head of the Dog Food Department. Gerald Waugh owns the Rockton ,Herald and employs Linda Carter as a columnist with 'her advice to the Love Lornf Robert Meuret is the sports writer. Arriving at the Macktown Golf Course we come upon Arnie Downs, the proprietor, instructing Kathleen George on how to cut the greens. It is brought to our attention that Ben Hogan's successor, Morris McGonigal, is making his tee-off on runway one with Jim Berens as his caddie. Movi.ng across the highway we find Pete Newell has just taken over Mr. Williamson's position as owner of the Wagon Wheel. He has hired Judy Moore as head waitress and Bruoe Wilcox as head bartender. Other employees are Kent Nelson as Life Guard of the Pool and Geraldine Farage as head cook. We find Reita Kaul and her band, prehaps the last rubber band in existence, made up of Don Allen Playing the shoe horn, Bill Keepers playing the oil drums, and Annie Durdin still playing the field. The star of the Hoor show is Elona Mellon with her famous balloon dance. June Bradbury and Norma Gamer are in the Salvation Army. Just now they occupy the street corner at the Hub, handing out free samples of gum to the high school students. David Dobson is the Successful author of a best seller, How to Get Along With the Opposite Sex. His publishing company is owned by Marilyn Popanz. Richard Brady is now New York's most prominent women's dress designer, assisted by Doris Bolander, his favorite model. Also in New York is Ralph Stein, who is to appear on Liberace's program-to light the candles-while Rose Swenson and Judy Prielipp appear on his program regularly, doing? ? ? Virginia Aylesworth and Frances Fuller are now married to prominent businessmen, and they are now setting the town's record as far as children are concerned. Cornelia Ellis, after completing a complicated course, is now a full-Hedged chimney sweep. Her assistant is Barbara Hohnes, and between the two of them they make a clean sweep. The hermits, Barb Jones and Carolee Davenport, haven't been seen for years. It's said that they went hunting and were caught between two beers-whoop! we mean bears! Pat Kelsey, experienced as a cheerleader, has turned it into quite a career, she's chief barker in Merl Kiser's Flea Circus, earning two dollars a year. Skip Gleasma.n's You Flop and They Drop Mattresses are widely used today, and Larry Case is making a fortune stuffing them with hay. Bruce Dwyer has also made a for- tune in discovering a new fertilizer made with chlorophyl. Jim Shotliff and the former Sandra Whisman have just returned from a delightful honeymoon to Florida where they saw the Miss Universe Contest won by our Donna Larson and Mr. Universe won by our Bruce Wright. They also took in the stock car races where Shirley Stewart-and Joanne Molander displayed their amazing skill at racing. Teaching at our good ol' HCHS are Nancy Nicholls, in the Ag Department, Carol Porterfield, head of the Science Department, Don Lowe teaching the girl's gym classes, and Richard Sager now filling Doc Loomis's position.
