tycation ‘TtiAtvuf Just two short years ago we were freshmen, a lowly specimen sometimes called “greenies.” We elected as our officers—Glenn Woodard, President and Carole Ann Noland, Vice-President. We had a queen candidate in the Homecoming, Rosie Rainey. One year gone and here we are “silly sophomores” already. To some of us it seemed almost a miracle. We elected as officers that year—Dolores Friesner, Presi- dent and Marty Smith, Vice-President. Our queen candidate for the Homecoming was Dolores Friesner. It seemed only a short time until the school doors were opened again and we were Big Wheel Juniors, upperclassmen DeLuxe. To start things off, we elected Junior Miller, President and Barbara Hagen, Vice-President. This was our big year, having the Junior-Senior Prom in the spring and the Junior Class Play in the fall. Our Junior Play was held November 14, 1952. The cast was as follows: Karen Odell...............Mrs. Maxwell Glenn Woodard...............Mr. Maxwell Dolores Friesner.............Aunt Mary Betty Bailey...............Gladys Gooch Rosie Rainey............Connie Maxwell George Foster...........Wilbur Maxwell Viola Oyer..............Bernadine Smith Marty Smith................Dr. Jeffrey Gooch Carole Noland......Betty Lou Maxwell Junior Miller...........Hercules Nelson Ronnie Murphy..........“Brains” Burke David Goodrich............Badge Burns Dean Newberry..............A Policeman The profits went for expenses on the Junior-Senior Prom. We also had a float and a queen candidate this year, Viola Oyer. Viola won the title of Homecoming Queen. Our float also received much favorable comment. As juniors, we shouldered the responsibility of financing and organizing the Prom. It was held on Friday, April 17, 1953. Our theme was “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” We hope everyone enjoyed it. We had a lot of fun our first three years in high school, and most of us are looking forward to our last year, as seniors.

On August 27, 1951 thirty-six Green Freshies wandered helplessly around L. H. S. To overcome our uncertainty we elected Jim Adkins—president, Roy Hinton— vice-president, Dick Evans—secretary-treasurer, and Kenton Mattison and Sharon Foster as Student Council representatives. For our homecoming queen candidate we selected Sharon Foster to be escorted by Kenton Mattison. This year, as silly sophomores, we know a little more. To guide us we elected Jim McClard—president, Lawrence Wacaser- vice-president, Sarah Townley—secre- tary-treasurer, and Shirley McCoy reporter. For Student Council representatives we elected Barbara Harlin and Lawrence Wacaser. This year we were nicely represented in school activities. Dick Evans and Mary Enloe were elected as homecoming king and queen candidates. Sharon Foster repre- sents us as a cheerleader for the different sport activities. Early in the football season, the sophomores had a little bad luck come their way. Everyone worked hard on the stand for the football game with Bethany. The joy of a fair beginning to a class treasury was short lived, however, when someone robbed the safe taking not only the sophomores' money but proceeds from the game the same night. In the middle of November, under the encouragement of our advisors, Mr. Cor- gan and Mrs. Vaughn, we picked up com to restore our loss and get in the money making bracket once again. We also sponsored the Thanksgiving dance later the same month. We are eagerly looking forward to our last two years in L. H. S. and know they will be as much fun as our first two years have been. 1st Row—J. McClard, S. Townley, L. Wacaser, S. McCoy, R. Kruger. 2nd Row—R. H. Hinton, J. Green, R. Adcock, M. Haraed, C.
