SENIOR CLASS HISTORY 6 I It was a rainy day on September 4, 1957, when fifteen Freshmen went rushing through Hoyt High School's front door. Most everyone was well aquainted, except those from other schools. They were David Meggison, Vernice Zachariasen, Linda Osborn, and Eva May Bolz. Those from Hoyt were Jim Albright, Darrel Albright, Catherine Hill, Sue Salts, Jerry Grant, Bill Barger, Donald Nioce, Richard Bausch, Inita Howerton, Darrel Doud, and Glenn Hatch. During the first of the year Vernice Zachariasen dropped out of school. Our class officers were: Jim Albright, President; Jerry Grant, Vice President; Linda Osborn, Secretary; Sue Salts, Treasurer; Catherine Hill, Reporter; and Darrel Albright, Student Council. Our sponsor was Mr. Cockerill. The high- lights of our year were initiation and Sue Salts being elected cheer- leader. In 1958, eighteen Sophomores began their second year. We were sorry to lose two students this year. Darrel Doud quit because of illness and David Meggison passed away. We gained Charlotte Hughes, Glenda Anderson, Harry Carr, and Donna Butler. The officers we chose to guide us through the year were: Jerry Grant, President; Darrel Albright, Vice President; Catherine Hill, Secretary-Treasurer; Sue Salts, Reporter; Jim Albright, Student Council. Mr. Bontrager was our sponsor. We were very happy to have Glenda Anderson elected F.F.A. Sweetheart Attendant, Sue Salts, Homecoming Attendant and Cheer- leader, and Linda Osborn chosen as Drum Majorette. Sue and Linda were also in the sextet. The whole class took part in the operetta. When we came back our third year we found we had lost Glenn Hatch and Inita Howerton, but we gained Jim Armstrong. The officers we elected for this year were: Darrel Albright, President; Jim Albright, Vice President; Jerry Grant, Secretary; Bill Barger, Treasurer; Glenda Anderson, Reporter; Sue Salts and Jim Armstrong, Student Coun- cil Representatives. Our sponsors were Miss Steenbock and Mrs. Shimp. We were very glad to have Glenda Anderson, Snowball Attendant, Sue Saits, Cheerleader, and Linda Osborn, Carnival Attendant. Linda also went to the State Music Festival. The highlights of this year were class rings, Junior-Senior Banquet, Junior Play, and we also had the winning float at the carnival. Finally came the big year when we were at last Seniors. We were very sorry to have lost Jerry Grant and Charlotte Hughes. Our class officers were, Jim Albright, President; Linda Osborn, Vice President; Darrel Albright, Secretary; Bill Barger, Treasurer; Sue Salts, Re- porter; Donald Nioce and Donna Butler, Student Council. Our sponsors were Miss Steenbock and Mr. Bontrager. Many interesting things happ- ened to us this year. First of all Catherine Hill and Sue Salts were Cheerleaders. Linda Osborn and Bill Barger were chosen Homecoming Queen and King. Sue Salts, Darrel Albright, and Jim Albright were Homecoming Attendants. Glenda Anderson was chosen as one of the Snow- Ball Attendants. The highlights of our year were editing the Annual, our Senior Play, the Junior-Senior Banquet, the Senior Trip, and last but best of all Graduation.
