CLASS HISTORY 'Twas in August of 59 When 26 Freshmen began to shine; We were really ready to go. Yet wondered exactly how to do so. We came out a bit scraped from Initiation's Stunts, then were officially ready to man our stations. To start us safely on our long journey, we Chose: Darlene Bandy, President, she; Sam Smith, our Vice President to be; Karen Johnston, Secretary; Diana Barnes, Treasurer you see; Sharyn Kent, to Student Council, she. To represent our class on the sports score We had Ralph Clippinger and Larry Moore; On the cheerleading scene Sharyn Kent, Barb Ward, and Judy Cook were seen; Our Homecoming float, Soda Pirates Win , Disappointed us, (it DIDN'T win), for we had been Working hard on it, to make it look like a real Scrumptious, refreshing vanilla and straw- berry deal. Topped with a luscious, plump red cherry, to be the crown of any meal. Our Carnival booth was Football Pros , All prospective players to expose. Miss Osterhuber was our sponsor, And our great thanks we give to her. In August of '60 Only 19 in our class found we. To guide us this year, elected we: Sam Smith, President this time to be; Sharyn Kent, our Secretary; Roger Wicker, Treasurer, he. Representing us in sports once more Were Ralph Clippinger and Larry Moore; And again from our class were seen Barb Ward and Judy Cook upon the cheerleading scene; Our Homecoming float, Bottle 'Em Up , Again didn't bring us any victory cup. Kangaroo Court was our Carnival booth. In which we had locked up various criminals , forsooth! Our big money-making project was selling cans of candy. Which turned out to be quite dandy. Mr. Luallen was our sponsor this year. And our thanks we hope he does hear. In August of '61 Our class numbered 17, more not one. This year, as upperclassmen, we chose The following to lead us to the close Of our year: President Sharyn Kent; Larry Moore as Vice President; Butch Grossman, our Secretary gent; And Barb Ward, as Treasurer went. Representing us in sports once more Were Ralph Clippinger, Sam Smith, and Larry Moore. Upon the cheerleading scene This time only Barb Ward was seen; Put 'Em In Orbit was our Homecoming float. But no honors it brought, for we had not the vote. Homecoming Parade Marshall was Judy Cook; And everyone upon her job did look. Sharyn Kent was on Homecoming Court; A bake sale, car wash, and sock hop were money-making projects of a sort. Though our main one was magazine sales. Larry Moore was elected Carnival King, And reigned over it as a true king. In the Jr.-Sr. Play, Grandma, How Could You? , Diana Barnes, Donna Seay, Sharyn Kent, Karen Johnston, Judy Cook fine did do. Planning the Jr.-Sr. Prom occupied most of our time--May came much too soon! In the Sunbrella Room at Hotel Leiand in Springfield we held our prom, with the theme of How High the Moon? Sharyn Kent attended Girls' State; Butch Grossman attended Boys' State. Mrs. Shulke and Miss Sommer were our spon- sors. In August of '62 We entered with 15 in our class, who, Beginning our last year, chose: Butch Grossman, President, he; Sharyn Kent, Vice President, she; Judy Cook, Secretary to be; Darlene Bandy, Treasurer, she; Larry Moore and Barb Ward, both to be On the Student Council. In sports once more We see Ralph Clippinger and Larry Moore; Likewise upon the cheerleading scene Barb Ward may again be seen; Our Homecoming float was Pirates Are G-r-r-eatl We won no prize, though we thought our float did look g-r-r-eat! On Homecoming Court could be seen: Diana Barnes, Karen Johnston, Barb Ward, Sherry Cockrum, and Sharyn Kent, who reigned Queen; Also: Sam Smith, Larry Moore, Terry Pickett, Ralph Clippinger, and Butch Grossman, who reigned King. Betty Crocker winner was Sharyn Kent; And the DAR Good Citizenship Award to Judy Cook went. Karen Johnston was our Valedictorian, Sharyn Kent our Salutatorian. Mr. Me Ghee was our sponsor this year; Our great thanks we hope he does hear. On our class trip, we did go To the Wagon Wheel Lodge, to row, Skate, bowl, and swim. And cover the grounds from rim to rim. Eleven of our 15 class members attended From May 31 to June 2, when it ended. by Judy Cook
