SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Just think! In 1956 we were seniors graduating from L.H.S. Four short and eventful years before, in 1952, we were the newcomers, the freshman class, with thirty-three members. Remember how we thought high school would be a snap because we had always had eight subjects before, and now we were goingtto have only four? The class officers elected were president, Donna Schuetz; vice-president, Danny Fread; secretary-treasurer, Jackie Dahm; and reporter. Gene Pryor. Our Student Council members were Danny Fread and Jennett Weakly. Our float entered in the Homecoming parade won first prize. In 1953, as sophomores, we thought we were upperclassmen. The boys com- bined forces and elected all male class officers. They were president, David Townley; vice-president, Dick Carter; secretary-treasurer, Danny Fread; and reporter, Jack Redfern. Gene Noland and Kenneth Sutton were our Student Coun- cil members. As juniors, our class had twenty-seven members. Our class officers were president, Kenneth Sutton; vice-president, Donna Schuetz; and secretary-treas- urer, Jackie Dahm. Student Council members from our class were Donna Schuetz and David Townley. At the Homecoming celebration our float and our window bothwonfirst prize. Our junior class play was DEAR RUTH. And remember all the fun we had decorating for An Evening in Paris ? During our senior year our class had twenty-one members, twelve less than we had as freshmen. The class officers we elected were president, Kenneth Sutton; vice-president, Carol Kearney; and secretary-treasurer, Donna Schuetz. Student Council members were Karen Grant and Kenneth Sutton. Our main in- terest this year was raising the money to finance our trip through the South. One of our money-making projects was sponsoring the Harlem Globetrotters. The class play also added a considerable amount to our funds. Another highlight of the year was our invitation to the annual Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. As we left L.H.S., our thoughts turned both to the past and the future--to our fun at school and to a successful life ahead.
