Senior Class Histogf 1966 L ' OnSeptember 3, 1954, fourteen energetic first graders prepared for their blast-off into space from the Isabel Launching Site, in their space ship, the Tiger. They were: Leslie Baucum, Linda Boyd, Janice Burenheide, Robert Bush, Leslie Dudrey, Jimmie Don Fischer, Alice Freeman, Paula Ford, Jimmie Alice Haas, Georgine Beshears, and Cynthia Wiggins. Myrna Stuckey soon joined us. Mrs. Violet Conner was there to guide us through the first two years of confusion. The second year, we had just got off the ground when we had to make a sudden stop on cloud nine, and gained Wayne Sacket and Cathy Hall. We also lost Leslie Dudrey. In September, 1956, we landed on Venus, where Mrs. Hazel Bishop took over our guidance, and we picked up a new astronaut, Peggy Jamison. During our fourth year of travel, we stopped at Mars where Leslie Baucum, Rodger House, and Claude Romine decided to leave our journey. We gained Richard Countryman which brought our total to a lucky thirteen. In September, 1958, we boarded the Tiger again and stopped on Jupiter, where we gained a new pilot, Ralph McCrady, and two new passengers, Kenneth and Karen Kennedy. Our sixth year of travel was our half-way point, half of our journey was behind us, yet half ahead of us too. We had no gains or losses during this year. In 1960, Mr. McCrady finally gave up ontrying to repairour rocket's engine, and Mrs. Freeman came along to guide us the next two years. Peggy Jamison and Janice Burenheide got tired of waiting for the repair job and left, but Shannon McDowell joined our happy crew. As we journeyed closer to the sun, we foimd our eighth year of travel very exciting. Shannon McDowell couldn't get used to riding in the rocket so Bennie Murphy took her place. Those graduating as eight-year navigators were: Linda Boyd, Bob Bush, Richard Countryman, Jim Fischer, Alice Freeman, Nancy Gibson, Jimmie Alice Haas, Vernon Harding, Kar e n Ke nn e dy, Kenneth Kennedy, Bernard Laverentz, Bennie Murphy, Carl Wexphal, and Cynthia Wiggins. As we began om' final four years of travel, we found that our rocket was getting a bit rusty and wasn't accelerating as fast as it should. We traded it in on a new purple and white rocket which we named the Viking. We lost Jimmie Alice Haas and Richard Countryman, and gained A lic e Ford . Miss McElfresh piloted our rocket. In September, 1963, we made our final stop on Pluto before getting to our destination, the sun. Alice Freeman and Cynthia Wiggins left and we gained Giles Spaulding to bring the total to an even dozen. Mr. Scales filled the position of pilot. , ' We same twelve astronauts found our eleventh year of travel very fascinating. We neither lost nor gained anyone, probably because everyone was too excited in reaching our destination. Mrs. Hollar and Mr. Ewing took the pilot place of Mr. Scales. Upon reaching the sun, Dayle Reed hopped on board to be a member of our crew. This brought our total back to our lucky thirteen. Mr. Denno and Mrs. Armstrong were appointed as the two guides to finish our very successful trip. The members of the Senior class are: Linda Boyd, Bob Bush, Jim Fischer, A lice Ford, Nancy Gibson, Vernon Harding, Karen Kennedy, Ken Kennedy, Bernard Laverentz, Bennie Murphy, Dayle Reed, Giles Spaulding, and Carl Westphal. ' On May 24, we will be leaving for our final journey together as a class to Tennessee. Mr. and Mrs. Larry Bartel will be added to our crew. We seniors would like to express our thanks to everyone for making this trip possible. Thank you.
