Miss Taylor, Mr. Williams, Nita Evans, Earl Hawthorne, Joan Lloyd. Junior Class Story On September 6, 1955, we, the class of 1957, passed another milestone in our high school career. At last we were dignified upper classmen. We began the year with our heads held high and our best feet forward. One of our first actions was to choose Miss Taylor and Mr. Williams as our class sponsors. Earl Hawthorne, Nita Evans and Joan Lloyd were elected class president, vice-president and secretary-treasurer in that order. As our representatives in the student council, we had already se- lected Martha Davis, Joan Lloyd, Georgia Petry, Jay Allen, Dale Glenn and Jim Smock. One of our classmates, Carol Davis, was picked to be a cheer- leader. At Homecoming time, Kaye Baer, was the junior attendant to the queen. Our float, which won first prize, was called Dead Dogs, with Gibson City as the target in a shooting gallery. For the assembly program we per- formed several scenes portraying periods in the history of John Greer. In order to finance our prom, we went all-out selling magazine sub- scriptions. We topped both our goal and the previous record by several hundred dollars. Total sales were $2, 862. 82. We were thrilled with our class rings. These are the last to bear the insignia of J.G. Our class candidates for king and queen of the Sweetheart Ball were Georgia Petry and Terry Reynolds. On February 29, five juniors were initiated into the National Honor So- ciety. They were Nita Evans, Shirley Long, Georgia Petry, Janis Reetz and Jerry German. The end of the school year was a whirlwind of events. We attended Jun- ior Guidance Day and then wrote our term paper on occupations. We were also preparing for music contests, the spelling bee, summer sports, and the spring play was not far off. Much of our time was occupied with plans for the prom at which we were to be the hosts. Spare moments were few and far between, and school work and regular activities could not be neg- lected . As we pause to review this past year, we see that we have won many honor s in all fields. We are pleased with ourselves and rightly so. We re- gretto leave old John Greer,but we cannot be content to rest on our laurels. We are eagerly anticipating the new year at the new school. 20
