Class History In the year 1943, twenty-seven passengers boarded the Kankakee Steamer to start their 12 year journey to education. Sixteen are still with us. They are: Clarence, Roger Cannon, Dick, Jerry, Glen Hefner, David, Wayne, Bill, Joan, Bernice, Rose, Alice, Janet, Vera, Evelyn, and Donna. We will never forget the times we were tied in our seats and put in corners. It must have been a good year for three entered and one left. As we entered the second grade, Miss Drazer, our teacher helped us to write our names. We gained six and lost three. We had twenty- four members that year. In the third grade, with Mrs. Filer as our teacher, we entered with twenty- three members. We were divided into groups and acted out stories from our reader. Six entered this year and two left. We entered the fourth grade with twenty-four pupils, with Miss Chelf as our guide. During the year four more entered and two left. We remember especially giving the operetta, “Tom Sawyer.” The sixth grade was the greatest year. Mrs. Watson was our captain and we remember when she won a mink stole. We also won the spelling contest. We gave fables and a Christmas play with the fourth and fifth grades. We shall always remember the day we entered the seventh grade, for we had to get used to the changing classes. During the seventh and eighth grade three new students entered. Thirty-five graduated from the eighth grade. Mr. Broad was our leader. The years from 9-12 were the years we enjoyed the most. We gained four, who are still with us. Mr. Broad still guided us as freshmen. Mrs. Kennedy sponsored us as sophomores. During our eleventh year we journeyed with the Seniors to the Wisconsin Dells for our class trip. We will always remember those three days of excursions up and down the dells and endles parties which went on. With Mr. French’s guidance we stuck to our course. Now, as we come to the end of our journey, Seniors at last, we visited the state legislature with the Juniors. To finish the year the Juniors and Seniors en- joyed a vacation to Spring Mill in southern Indiana. These are but some of our memories of the twelve years of school as we, the twenty-eight Seniors of 1955, remember them.

Class Poem We are the Seniors of ’55, Using our co-captains as our guide. Don Schoon is first on our list. He’s sweet sixteen and never been missed. Vera Krug is quite feminine, When she blushes, it is genuine. Bernice Dowd is our class blonde, Of men in uniform she is fond. Dave Kotzer has kinky black hair, Without it his head would be bare. Wayne Miller is a very nice guy, His looks make many a girl sigh. Alice Kay is a girl with a high 1. Q. Being a secretary is what she’d like lo do. Kay Simic is a spry little thing, She’s still waiting for a ring. Kay Krueger is fun and hard to fool, She’d rather have a home than be in school. Ron Winski is always calm and collected. By worries and cares, he’s never affected. Ronnie Sommers is always dressed to a “T”, He’s already planned what he’s going to be. Donna Sutter was our director, With our class play, we almost wrecked her. Bev Wray is the smallest girl in our class, Everyone wonders if her love will last. Dick Goodpaster with school is bored, He’d rather putt around in his black Ford. Rose Dusek would give her right arm, To be with Marv on the Montdale Farm. Roger Redelman is our class clown. For college, he is bound. Roger Cannon likes LaPorte, A girl from there, he likes to court. Glenn Hefner, the way he drives, Everyone wonders how his riders survive. Janet Gingerich is our class brunette, A wedding ring is what she’ll get. Glen Good is our co-editor, Louis Armstrong is his cornet competitor. Clarence Grieger has a fancy car, But it will only go so far. Sandy Olson, the shortest boy in our class. With his art ability, he will pass. Bill Salzer’s dad is the school trustee. Will Bill do the same? Wait and see. A studious boy is Warren Monroe, After College he’ll make dough. Joan Birky is often quoted. Tor piano playing she is noted. Hranium bound is Jim McKinney, We wonder if he’ll ever find any. Jerry Daumer likes geometry, But he can’t decide what he wants to be. Roy Atherton has a nice car, Give him some gas and he’ll go far. This is our class roll. Success in the future is our goal.
