Senior Class History In the fall of 1945 thirty little page boys and page girls entered the doors of Lanark Grade School. For eight long years they did much hard work to become Senators and Representatives. They still had a- nother four years to go before becoming Ambassadors. The first year was a hard one. The had to learn new rules and ideas. The leaders were Gary Smith, president, Sharon Kloepiping, vice-president, Larry Rostron, secretary, Kenny Carbaugh, treasurer. The representatives elected or Student Council were Peggy Thompson and Duane Kruse. Joanne Cole was a can- didate for Queen of the Firemen's Ball and Sharon Kloepping was a candidate for Basketball Queen. Initiation Day was held for the newcomers. The page boys wore high-heeled shoes, big collars, bathrobes, one knee boot, women's hats, nylons, and red ribbons around their knees. The page girls wore pajamas, bow ties, shorts over the pajamas, one knee boot, one ma.n's work shoe and corn silk pony tails. All the pages wore onions around their necks,brought baby bottles, and pails to carry the upperclassmen's books. Mary Poffen- berger and Darlene Bicker were new additions to the class. The second year was easier going for the representatives. The Officers of the House were Mike Lower, president, Larry Rostron, vice-president, Sharon Kloepping, secretary, Duane Kruse, treasurer. Student Council representatives were Joanne Cole and Gary Smith. Elected to the Initiation Committee were Peggy Thompson and Kenny Carbaugh. Sharon Warneke was a candidate for Queen of the Firemen's Ball, Mary Poffenberger and Gary Smith were candidates for Basketball Queen and King, respectively, and Sharon Igoepping was a candidate for F.F.A.

Finally came the big year. The Senators were now the Supreme Court.

Student Council members were Mary Poffenberger and Mike Lower. Marilyn Fisher and Larry Rostron were Homecoming Queen and King. They participated again in the Annual Magazines Sales Contest, and put on anenjoyable comedy, Out of the Frying Pan. Marilyn Fisher was the. only addition to our class.

They are Jane Bowers, David Bowman, Kenny Carbaugh, Joanne Cole, Jim Fulrath, Gary Hawbecker, Dennis Lamoreux, Mike Lower, Ralfe Lichty, David Piesen, Dennis Rippy, BettyRademaker, and Sharon Warneke.
