Sophomore Class SOPHOMORE OFFICERS President.........Robert Thayer Vice-President .... Lee Kerr Treasurer. . . . Elliot Henderson Secretary.......lone Cunningham The room of may activities is number 14, where the Sophomore class dwelt. From the forty members many made the basketball team, joined Forensic, sang in the chorus, became cheer leaders, and played on the football team. They are led by » helpful and able advisor, Mrs. Elnora Chisnell. The Sophomores entered this school year forty strong. The Sophomores have five members from New Florence, seven from St. Clair Township, ten from Fairfield Township, one from Westfield Township, and seventeen from Bolivar. We are proud that our class has five varsity basketball players, Richard Antonio, Gene Barnabo, Ray Boring, Lee Kerr, and Robert Thayer. To the Junior Varsity the Sophomores gave Elliot Henderson, Conrad Gamble, Harry Foust, Richard Warfel, Ronald Blattenberger, and Irvin Miller. Ronald Blattenberger, Richard Warfel, and John Roby helped make the football team possible. The class has helped the chorus by contributing Constance Simpson, Barbara Hood, Onie Cunningham, Mary Ann Gennero, Billie Sue Kinzey, Linda Muir, Ruth Buckles, Doris Henderson, Sandra Rolley, Ronald Blattenberger, and Robert Thayer. One feather in our cap came when Sonja Horrell proved to be the best magazine saleswoman in the school. By selling the most subscriptions during the magazine campaign, Sonja was awarded an Elgin wrist watch. One of the things the class did this year was to sell emblems. The group was proud of their Sophomore year, but they are looking forward to being Juniors.

Junior Class The Jui.iors are a happy-go-lucky gang who are fearless of work, if not too much. They have plunged into practically everything and have taken things quite securely under their control. They boast of members in every activity of the school. Some members have contributed their talents to the band and the HI-LITE Staff. In general, whatever the activitiy this class was sure to be in on it. JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS H. Kuchenbrod . . . Vice-President Cleo Baird ............Secretary F. Cunningham..........President Paul Hepner............Treasurer The first event which the class sponsored was a private Christmas party on December 20. Everyone had a gay time by dancing and playing games. Of the forty-one members many were active in extracurricular activities. Seven boys, Harry Kuchenbord, Robert Carney, Ronald Robinson, Paul Hepner, Fritz Cunningham, Robert Marion, and James Henderson, were on the football team. Two of the football cheerleaders, Sally Igo and Dolores Henderson, were also from the Junior class. Herbert Klodell, Harry Kuchenbrod, and Richard Stiffey were on the basketball team. Barbara Boske was a basketball cheerleader. Fritz Cunningham, the class president, and Robert Carney were the representatives on the Student Council. Many members represented the class in chorus. Mr. Andrew Pahach was the class advisor. The class play has been scheduled for April and the prom will be held in May in the school auditorium. Now the Juniors are not at the top but almost there, just one station stop away from graduation. How proud they are that next year they will be the dignified, sophisticated Seniors.

They soon became well adapted to their new curriculum. They usually kept their place and looked with proper admiration and respect at the upperclassmen. A large percentage of the boys took an active part in athletics. This helps to insure Laurel Valley with good football and basketball teams in 1953. As usual, the “Freshies were loyal in attending the school affairs. A number have taken the advantage of getting into the swing of things by joining the different organizations of the school such as the chorus and the band. They enjoyed the “pep meetings and the assemblies. Many new friends were found and new personalities were added to the class from other districts. The 9 section of the Freshman class had a Christmas party at which gifts were exchanged, dancing was enjoyed, and refreshments were served. The class presented their advisor, Mr. Fisher, with a gift. The classroom was decorated very nicely. Their class officers are: president, Dennis Cook; vice-president. Bill Golis; secretary, Jean Hendricks; treasurer, Peggy Galbraith. The 9 section, room 16, had Christmas trimmings of all kinds. There were decorations on the windows, Christmas scenes on the blackboard, and crepe paper strung through the room. The pupils had refreshments and exchanged gifts. Their class officers are: president, Doris Geary; vice-president, Jim Irwin; secretary-treasurer, Beverly Hamilton. The 91 section was very successful during the magazine campaign, since they were the first room to reach their quota of $105.00 with the total sum of $128.00 at the end of the campaign. 30
