CLA SS POEM As we leave these hallowed halls of learning, We look back on the years of the past, We see the comedy in our yearning For the life we've left at last. We see ourselves in the grade school years, On the upward climb We know that success is no easy lot, Later there'll be time. To find our fortune and dreams of success, Or whatever our luck may be, We'll hope with the light of wisdom, The right way we'll surely see. Let this light of ours burn brightly For a world with lasting peace And, with the love of God within us, Our work will never cease. - -Eugene Knobloch

6111.45 History In September of 1953, the class of '57 began its high school record with an enroll- ment of fifty-two Freshmen. Our Sophomore year had an enrollment of fifty-four stu- dents and by our Junior year eleven students had left. The Senior year brought forty- one classmates back to the hallowed halls of learning for their final year of high school education. Through the years we have busied ourselves with a variety of projects to raise funds for our treasury. Some of these projects were concession stands at the Halloween Car- nival, car washes, magazine drives, doughnut sale, Stanley products sale, Madison Pen Set sale, Mother and Daughter Banquet and several other projects. The most successful were our Junior Play, You Can't Take lt With You, and our Senior Play, A Case of Springtime. Two class parties a year furnished us much entertainment. We went roller skating. had weiner roasts at Mt. Bauldy, saw the Globetrotters in action, attended a hockey game and viewed the movie, The Egyptian. ln sports the class of '57 shone brilliantly. Basketball: Walter Barnhardt, Otto Beard, Richard Brown, Don Doorlag, Jim Hennip, Gerry Herp, Eugene Knobloch, John Miner, Jim Metbs, Bob Riksen and Bill Weick. Baseball: Otto Beard, Richard Brown, Don Doorlag, Jim Hennip, Gerry Herp, Eugene Knobloch, John Miner, Bob Riksen, Gene Stephans and Bill Weick. Track: Otto Beard, Bob Beck, Richard Brown, Don Doorlag, Gerry Herp, Eugene Knobloch, John Miner, Dennis Pavlak, Bill Riksen, Bill Weick and Jim Merbs. Eugene Knobloch, during his Junior year, and Gerry Herp, during his Junior and Senior years, were chosen for the Bar-Ken-All All-Star Football Team. Lois Reynolds was a cheerleader during her Sophomore and Junior years. Several girls were active in Basketball and Softball in their Freshman year. Kathleen Weick was chosen as our Homecoming Queen at our first Homecoming celebration. As we come to the close of our high school years, we remember these things and many more. We look forward to our Senior Prom and Banquet and to our trip to Wash- ington, D, C, The climax to our high school career will be Graduation Day. CLASS MOTTO: The reason so few reach the top is because no successful method has yet been devised by which a person may sit down and go uphill.
