The backbone of our class was Mr. Ventch, and supporting officers: Fred Feuerbacher, President; Jim Giblin, Vice-President; Ken Price, Treasurer; Carol Schardt, Secretary; Jane Huntington, and Don Nottingham, SAC representatives. The annual Sadie Hawkins dance we held was a huge success. Gayle Burke and Philip Frank were our Daisy Mae and Li'l Abner candidates. Thus ended our first year; and our first impression on LHS. During our second year of high school, our slate of class officers were: Larry Fujio, President; Philip Frank, Vice-President; Fred Feuerbacher, Treasurer; Jane Huntington, Secretary; Bob Wetch and Pat Cantrell, SAC representatives. Mr. Thurn and Mr. Bennet were our sponsors. Our Junior year was a busy one. This year’s candidates for the Sadie Hawkins dance were, Rosalind Herman and Don Robertus. The Laurel Leaves candidates were Joe Hoppel and Virginia Ulshak. Our Junior Play, A Date With Judy, was held December 3 and 4, and was ably directed by Mr Chester Blaylock. Other money-making projects were: the Sadie Hawkins dance, and a bake sale, held in December. The result of these projects and our hard work, was our Prom, South Pacific, held May 2. Supporting us during this busy year were: Philip Frank, President; Pat Cantrell. Vice-President; Sharon Frank, Secretary; Judy Gutschmidt, Treasurer; Carol Schardt and Virginia Ulshak. SAC representatives; and our sponsors, Mr. Bennet, Miss Morgan, and Miss Miles. During our final year, we were sponsored by Mr. Bennet and Mr. Koski; and staffed by: Jim Coulter, President; Jane Frank, Vice-President; Sandy Whitfield, Secretary; Virginia Ulshak, Treasurer; Judy Gutschmidt, Rosiland Herman, and Ron Eslinger, SAC representatives. In place of the traditional Sadie Hawkins dance, we held a Sweetheart Ball, February 13; and crowned as our queen, Carol Schardt. Other activities included our class play, The Big Blow-Up, coached by Mrs. Nell Gamble; and our Class Nite. Leaving many happy memories behind us, we Seniors graduated May 26, 1960 - the fiftieth class to do so from LHS.

SENIOR BOYS 59 Queen, her attendants and their escorts HOMECOMING Thursday, October 8, 1959, marked the beginning of the second homecoming in Laurel High School. Many new features were added to this annual tradition, one of the outstanding events of the year. The event was opened with a snake dance followed by a pep rally. During a special Friday morning assembly, Virginia Ulschak was crowned queen by the student body president and presented with a scepter and scroll by Don Nottingham and Dan Harper. In the late afternoon the first homecoming parade proceeded through town with Queen Ulschak and her attendants in convertibles between the four class floats and the pep club float to the football field. The Queen and her attendants were again presented before the game. Following the game, a dance was held in the Queen's honor.

Those who helped in supplying pictures for the annual. The Taylor Publishing Company and Bill Kinney for advice and information on annual production. Our advertisers who try hard to please everyone in many ways. Try their products - it really pays. A very special thanks goes to the sports editor, Larry Marcus, who not only completed the sports pages, but also worked on the ads, both collecting ads and setting up ad pages. In addition to the above work, Larry found time to work on many other pages including the science fair. LARRY MARCUS We, the Laurels Staff, hope that the students of the Laurel High 100 School cherish the memories and recollections that this annual holds. % 30K S TAYLOR PUBLISHING COMPANY The World's Best Yearbooks Are Taylor-made
