I ss Histor After l2 years of work and play,we have finally struggled to the sta- tion where we are called Udignifiedn seniors. We started to school in l939 and after minor fights, many paddlings and not much study, we advanced to the seventh grade accompanied by a sigh of relief from the grade teachers and a groan from the high school faculty. Then, came our nmean little kidn stage. Our trim little figures got a lot of exercise during the seventh and eighth,grades from going from our classes to the office. During our freshman year we settle down to earning money for our trip. To help accomplish this, we staged a turkey raffle. Of course not all was grim business, we took some time out for pleasure in the way of a class party at White's Institute. Our class officers were: president, Max Brane, vice president,Jerry Sellers, secretary, Wilma Miller, treasurer, Miriam Sheffield. Next came our sophomore year and at this time we gathered up our, un- noticed talents and put on a UDr. I. Q.U program in the assembley. ln Ure program we displayed our intelligence because all the prizes were won by members of our group. Of course, we knew all the answers beforehand--but that's a trivial detail. Not only did we display our mental intelligence but we bounded our musical qualities when we originated our class band. The members were: Miriam Sheffield, piano, Phil Coffin, cornet, Bob Dawes, trombone, Jerry Shenefield, drums Betty Stevens, French horn Doris Silvers and Jean Clark, Clarinets. The group was under the direction of Wilma Miller. With the help of our sponsor, Mr. Bowman, we increased our treasury by two turkey raffles and by selling Christmas cards. In March we ordered our class rings. Our class officers for the year were: president Lee Hoy McCoy, vice president, Jim Hershberger, secretary-treasurer, Phyllis McCollister. As juniors we became industrious as well as a bit miserly and with this combination, our treasury grew by leaps and bounds. we took over the duties of the concession stand and during the summer we set a record by increasing our treasury s5oo by these sales. A lot of this credit goes to Miriam who took over the duties of manager. With the help of our sponsor, Mr. woodring, we also reached another goal by selling the most magazine subscriptions previous to that time. In token for our superb salesmanship, the Curtis Company presented the class with a turkey supper. One of the big events of the year was the play en- titled UHere Comes Gharlien which was directed by Mrs. Robert Porter. At last we have arrived at the final, the senior year. To start the year off right, we put on the play HAunt Tillie Goes To TownQ directed by Mr. Bowman. This made our treasury grow again. Another increase wasour popcorn sales. As we finally reached our goal, that is, to make enough money to eo on the trip, we settled back andwatched the other classes work ver, industriously. Now we are ready for that long awaited diploma.
