Class History There have been six great events in the history of this world. The first was the appearance of Adam and Eve. The second was the rise of King Tut. The third was the death of Julius Caesar. The fourth was the Atlantic by Columbus. The fifth was the reign of Jack Dempsey. And the sixth was the entrance of the Class of l953 into Leo High School. Of these the first five were of minor importance. Adam and Eve, I believe, are now dead. King Tut is in a museum. Julius has been eclipsed by Mussolini. Columbus has moved to Ohio. And Jack Dempsey is just a faded cauliflower. But the class of I953,not only IS history, but is still making history. In the fall of I949, we entered Leo High School as 'Green Freshies. Including the nine students who came from St. Joe Central School, we had a total enrollment of Sl. Mrs. Virginia West was named as our sponsor. Officers elected during the year were: Jerry Emrick, President, Sandra Young, Vice-President, Gus Steiner, Secretary, and Lloyd Hall, Treasurer. Since we were considered undercIassmen,' our activi- ties were very few. We enioyed class parties at Grabill Park and at Quentin Savage's home. Entering the Sophomore year, we gained three new students, Barbara Smith, Don Leichty, and Mary Weber We also lost ten: Layne Freimuth, Rose Graber, John Kryder, Mima Martin, Joseph Schwartz, Floyd Stein- bacher, Sandra Young, Kenneth Pettit, Jacqueline Brinkman, and Reuben Liechty, making a total of 44. Officers for our sophomore year were: Robert Schultz, President, Lois Trimble, Vice-President, Ann Amstutz, Secretary, and Lloyd Hall, Treasurer. This year our parties were held at Cedarville Park and Melba SchIatter's home. When we entered as Juniors, we had lost Everett Beck, Joan Gongaware, Jerry Pulver, Rose Ann Schuster, and Carolyn Shannon. During the year Ann Schaper and Barbara Smith Left, making the total of 37. Officers elected were: Beverly Van Zile, President: Gene Klppfenstein, Vice-President: Melba Schlatter, Secretary, and Lloyd Hall, Treasurer. This was the year we really started working toward our senior trip. We had a skating party, gave the class play, Fighting Fishers, sold Christmas cards, sponsored a paper drive, and ran the school concession stand. The high light of the year was the Junior- Senior Banquet, which we gave in honor of the seniors. We have finally reached the end of our high school days. We lost two members of the class--Mary Weber and Carolyn Hines, making our class numbering 35. Officers elected were: Ann Amstutz, President, Richard Buffenbarger, Vice-President: Phyllis Cameron, Secretary, and Lloyd Hall, Treasurer. Our class play, 'The Inner WiIIy, was a big success. We also sponsored a scrap drive and a skating party. We chose red and gray as our class colors, with a red carnation for our flower, 'Knowledge Comes But Wisdom Lingers' is our class motto. Everyone enioyed 0 five-day trip to Washington and New York City, Which we never will forget. OUR ANNOUNCEMENTS, NAME CARDS, AND JEWELRY WERE PURCHASED FROM HERFF JONES COMPANY, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA FIRST GRADERS - CLASS OF I953 5 .
