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.

It is now the year 1981. The Juniors will board a Rocket at the Kansas City Rocketport for a trip around the continent to visit the Seniors of 1961. On the way to the Rocketport we stop in the Cities of Topeka and Lawrence. In Topeka we find our own little Homecoming Queen, Linda Osborn, who is now happily married to Albert J. Linda and Albert now own a prosperous Bakery Shoppe. From Topeka we travel on to Lawrence where we locate Eva May Bolz who is now the loyal secretary to a famous lawyer. As we walk into the office of the lawyer we find Eva sitting on his lap taking dicta- tion. From Kansas City we travel to Ft. Leonard Wood, Missouri, where we find Sue Salts who now is a Sergeant in the WAC. She tells us that she likes it so well that she plans to make the Army her career. Good luck Sue! Now we jump into our cars and make a trip into the interior of the great state of Texas, where we find Jim Armstrong. He is the owner of the world renowned Armstrong Goat Ranch. Jim reports that he now has 1,000 head of goats and that the herd is still growing. We now turn our journey northward as we travel to Indianapolis, Indiana. As we walk down the street the sports editor of the local paper stops us and tells us that one of our old alumis, Jim Albright, is tearing the brickyard to pieces with his newly developed racing car. He is now known as Brickdust Albright . Also in Indianapolis we find Harry Carr who now owns his own Coca Cola bottling company. Harry tells us that during the summer he plays baseball with the world champion New York Rockets. From the Hoosier State we travel to New York City where we find Catherine Hill who is working in a factory that turns out bubble gum wrappers. Catherine reports that she is still hunting for that Certain Person . While still in New York we visit Donald Nioce. It seems as though Michael Anthony has visited Donald and left him $1,000,000. Donald has a three car garage in which he stores his spare Cadillacs. Since we were in New York we thought that we would journey across the Hudson to Jersey City. Here we find Bill Barger who is now the president of Standard Oil Company of New Jersey. Bill also owns two powder blue T-Birds. From Jersey City we travel to Washington D. C. We decide to go to the capitol building. As we walk down the hall we meet Donna Butler who has just recently been appointed the Treasurer of the United States. Lots of luck with all that money, Donna! In Washington we decide to make a visit to the West Coast. As we travel into California we find Glenda Anderson in the Women's Marine Corps with her favorite boy Bill. They plan to get married as soon as Glenda gets her commission. Next we decide that we would like to see the desert, so we hop in our Air-Ride Cars and travel to Nevada where we find Richard Bausch mining for Borax. He tells us that he has a team of 20 mules. At this moment he seems to be making more money off the tourist than he is off the mine. Well, that's what you get for having the only house inside a 100 square mile area of land. Lastly we decide to go up north to Alaska, which has recently been opened up to gold miners again. We hire a dog sled and travel into the Klondike where we find Darrel Albright digging gold out of the ground with his bare hands. Darrel tells us that he has been isolated from the girls for two years now. Well, thats the breaks of the game, Darrel. p o p t c y
