Hear ye! We today in the presence of our noble classmates, proclaim an enlighten- ment of our varied and hectic career!--a brief summary of who we are and what we have been. You may ask us, 'What has the class of l954 accomplished? This we can best tell you together. Four years ago we, brave and undaunted Freshmen and 'Green As Grass, tripped gaily to lmlay City High School wholly ignorant of the obstacles that we would have to overcome. lnitiation was 'the thing in our minds for the next few weeks and we surely did get it. Not content with feeding us raw oysters and castor oil, the iuniors succeeded in giving us the electric chair.' We finally managed to elect our officers. Lee Weyer was our president5 Judy Yntema, Vice Presidentg Ray Oille, Secretaryg Dick Campbell, Treasurerg and school life went along smoothly with Mr. Crook as our advisor. ln our Sophomore year we were lead by Russ Stroup as Presidentp Roger Wagner as Vice Presidmt, Jay Schultz as secretary, Marcia Van Den Burg as Treasurer. Miss Waara and Mr. Roland were our advisors. Our main project in this year was our sales of Spartan pens and pencils. ln our Junior year we elected Jerry Kowalski as President, Steve Parnicky, Vice President5 Dorothy Raetz, Secretaryg Judy Yntema, Treasurer5 with Miss Force and Mr. Skeberdis as our advisors. Then with the memories of our freshman iniation, we took our revenge on the present Freshman Class. Of course the two big events of this year were the Junior Play and our Junior-Senior Prom, both of which were big successes. The theme of our Prom was, A Midsummer Night's Dream, with the 4J's furnishing the music. But to top off our third year in high schlool, we sold magazines and broke all former records by selling over 52,000 worth. We then started our life as Seniors. COh! That dignified title., We were under the leadership of Lee Weyer, Presidentg Bill Patow, Vice President5 Sandy Ward, Secretaryp Patty LePard, Treasurer: and Miss Smith and Mr. Wheeler, Class Advisors. We began our money-making projects with the sale of magazines which proved to be not quite as successful as in our Junior Year. We then had our pictures taken by Powell Studios. Soon after we presented our Senior Play, Hillbilly Courtship,' under the able direction of Mr. Thayer. Our next proiect was the sale of Christmas Cards which turned out fairly well. For our Senior Trip, we went to New York. Many of the Seniors worked on the annual, which we tried to make the best ever published. We also kept up our standard of all 'A' marks which we set up while we were Fresh men. As our golden high school years are now a thing of the past, let us look back upon the four years we have spent together in happiness. We would like to express our gratitude to the faculty for the many hours they spent in guiding us through this inportant period of our lives. We, the Senior Class of 1954, now bid adieu to lmlay City High School as we take our places among the Alumni of lmlay City High School.
