Cyan ,Maiorg Let's think back through the pages of our history books and see what stories are revealed about the Class of 1951. Although we have encountered many set-backs, we have contin- ued to push onward until reaching our goal - Senior Gradua- tion. First, we will start way back with Ancient History or the time when we were Freshmen. One of our many mishaps was our Freshmen Initiation. This was the day when we came to school looking like tattered and torn rag dolls. During that year we sponsored a dance, nRainbow Innn, and a bake sale. The leaders during these ancient times were: Presi- dent, Jeanne Edwardsg Vice-President, Betty Ann Carr: Secre- tary, Virginia Moellerg Treasurer, Shirley Hillisg and Stu- dent Councilor, Ellen Buck. Mrs. Carr was our class advisor. Following this era we will review the nDarkLAgesn when we were sophomores. During this period in history we sold pencils, on which were printed the Basketball Schedules. We held an April Fool's Day Dance which helped to increase our Treasury. Our officers were: President, Betty 'Ann Carr, Vice-President, Barry Hewlettg Secretary, Wanda Clapperg Treasurer, Shirley Hillisg and Student Councilor,Ellen Buck. Our class advisor was Mr. Churchill. Next, came the Renaissance Period when we were Juniors. Because of the success of our pencil sales in our Sophomore year, we continued this ideap During the Renaissance period everyone became conscious of beauty andornamentation, so to keep up with the times we ordered our class rings. we chose a rectangular shaped ring with gold setting and the school crest was mounted on various stones. Our government was run by: President, Fred Baldwing Vice-President, Milton Burger, Secretary, John Gremerg Treasurer, Donald' Vroomang and Stu- dent Councilor, Ellen Buck. Mr. Churchill was our advisor for this phase of history. At last we come to Modern History or our Senior year. First of all we had to continue the old tradition and initi- ate the Freshmen. For a day we were ableuto get our revenge and rule one class and how we loved it! In the evening of Fresh Initiation we held a Halloween Party. Other events that we sponsored during the year were a class dance and various bake sales. With the proceeds from these and pre- vious affairs we took our Senior Trip to New York City at Easter'tim6. Officials during this time were: President, Joan Carraherg Vice-President, Fred Baldwing Secretary, Wan- da clapperg Treasurer, Luise Duerrg and Student Councilor, Betty Ann Carr. Je would like to thank Mrs. Holsinger for her patient guidance during this year? S M
