«: ■. a m m Kneeling: Al Laborde, Jim Eggers Standing: Merrill Simington, Gladys Laborde, Linda George The class of '55 upon entering school in September of 1951, received the traditional welcome of freshmen initiation. The first function of the class was to elect our class officers. They were: Pat Kellar, president; Nisha Moyer, vice-president; Joan Smith, secretary; Gearldine Wells, treasurer; Jim Hemingway, sergeant-at-arms; Jackie Stronkirch and Larry Sauers, student council representatives; Mr. Larson, class adviser. We soon joined the various school activities and sponsored a Barn Dance, which was a big success. As sophomores, we elected the following officers: Merrill Simington, president; Russell Berkner, vice-president; Pat Kellar, secretary; Char Moore, treasurer; Dennis Krauss, sergeant-at-arms; Jackie Strohkirch and Jim Scott, student council representatives. Mr. Peters was our class adviser. The important event of this year was the annual biology field trip vhich Mr. Barnes conducted. At this time, the class also had a very successful beach party. This year as upperclassmen, at last, we elected the following as our officers: Jim Eggers, president; Gladys Laborde, vice-president; Merrill Simington, secretary; Linda George, treasurer; Al Laborde, sergeant- at-arms; Jackie Strohkirch and Jim Scott, student council representatives. Our advisers were Mr. Peters and Mrs. Benge. We have sponsored many successful skating parties. We again elected ShirleyPeningerand Russell Berkner as our candidates for Carnival Queen and her attendant. The climax of our Junior year came when we presented the Junior- Senior Banquet and Prom. We were proud to have several members of our class hold so many important positions in school affairs, as we are now the smallest class of I. V. We are looking forward to our last year at I. V. , next year, and hope we may do as well then as we have this year.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We entered the high school scared stiff, but anxiously awaiting freshmen initiation. Elected as our first class officers were: Bob Kester, president; Mae Bowerman, vice-president; Don Boucher, secretary; Larry Farmer, treasurer; Arnold Mellow, sergeant-at-arms; Beverly Tabor and Ron Terrel, student council representatives. Our adviser was Mr. Beyer. We sponsored a very successful dance, to which the whole student body was invited. We didn't make much profit, but the cider and do-nuts were certainly good. Later, we saw Queen and King of Hearts, Mae Bowerman and Bob Kester, ascend to the throne at the annual P. T. A. Valentine Dance. We all had loads of fun selling tickets and enjoyed the thrill of triumph over the other classes. We attacked our second year of high school with vim and vitamins, under the able leadership of our class officers. These consisted of : Mae Bowerman, pres- ident; Jeanne Chappell, vice-president; Mary Taylor, secretary; Warren Cook, treasurer, and commendable student council representatives, Joe Spalinger and Chris Duncan. Our energetic class sponsored a Sophmore class party on October 19th. Following this was a Cake Walk and the Valentine Dance, both equally successful; with Warren Cook and Treva Lee Allen elected King and Queen of Hearts at the latter event. Altogether, this Sophomore year was a very successful and profitable one under the guidance of Miss Josephine Hoesley, adviser. Juniors! ! ! What a name! Sounds like a big executive. Now we could sponsor all those chills and spills of those wonderful skating parties. As we got into the swing of school again we elected our class officers: Joe Spalinger, president; Charles Marchant, vice-president; Joan Yandell, secretary; Mary Lockhart, trea- surer; Earl Reinoehl, sergeant-at-arms; Bob Kester and Treva Lee Allen, class representatives. Also with the help of our two fine advisers, Mrs. Dunn and Mr. Schreiber, we accomplished a lot of work. Football, with all its broken bones and bruises, didn't discourage us from having some good players: Mel Barton was on the first string of the All Star team, Dick Bliss and Warren Cook on the second team in the Southern Oregon Conference. Mel Barton was also on the second string in basketball. Rhumba, samba and jitterbug, reigned at the Valentine Dance along with our candidate, Mary Taylor and her escort, Joe Spalinger, as Queen and King of Hearts. Being smart Juniors, we saved our money for the annual Prom, which was held on the night of April 25th. It was considered the best Prom ever held at I. V. The theme was The Gay Nineties . Fun was had by all, even after all the bills were paid and nothing was left in the treasury. The junior play was presented by the Clark Gables and Betty Grables of our class. These dramatic juniors presented, Professor, How Could You? It was a howling success and almost landed on Broadwav. We have finally made it! After eleven years, and $276 clear profit, we emerged into our final year at I. V. as almighty seniors . With such out- standing class officers as Ron Terrel, president; Dick Bliss, vice-president; Treva Allen, secretary; Charles Marshall, treasurer; Jim Yandell, sergeant- at-arms; and student council representatives Chris Duncan and Chuck Marchant, we have undertaken many projects. Since it is our last year, we have put every- thing we have into football, scoring Cook, Mellow and Barton on the All Star first string, Dick, Bliss and Reinoehl, second string and Kester, honorable mention. When carnival time rolled around, we placed first in both divisions: ticket sales and booth sales. The Snow Ball, held on January 2, was a huge success as was our senior play. The four years at I. V.H. S. will never be for- gotten by any of us who have enjoyed it so much.
