CLASS HISTORY Coming into High School as mask, innocent, and frightened little Freshmen, we started our journey down the slowly winding road. Our guides in this first milestone were Mrs. Telfer and Mr. Strong. Act- ing as our leader and giant boulder was Orville Duddy with Donna Cooper, Loraine Beier, Martha Cohrs, Mildred Smith and Margaret Donaldson the stepping stones of assistance. After resting on the side of the road for eleven weeks we ventured forth again and were ushered into our Sophomore year by Mrs. Anderson and Miss Brown. The boulder this year was Don Bantien, with David Foster, Donna Cooper, Mildred Smith, Loraine Beier and Dick Nichols as stepping stones. . . , . , We all had a great time in our second yesr of Junior High tobogganing, having welner roasts, sponsoring bake sales and after game sales. This started the campaign of earning money for our Senior year. After rounding a rather large bend in the road with the help and guidance of Miss Brown and Miss Bruce, another course in our journey was taken up. This began our successful Junior year. Dick Nichols was leading us thru this year with Lloyd Tripp, Donna Cooper, Marilyn Durow, and Jackie Razor as helpers. Many crowning events took place this year; it was our busiest mile- stone in our journey. We had a magazine sale which helped greatly our finan cial status, and we had bake sales and after game sales, all of which contributed to the fund to be used in our Senior year. We put on the biggest annual dance on April 27th--the J-Hop. We used The Circus as our theme in decorating the gym. It was a huge success. Not long after this the Junior and Senior Banquet and Prom took place. This was also a hugh success. Upon concluding our stay in Marine City High we undertook the lost lap of our journey. The biggest curve in the winding road was finally passed and we encountered smooth riding from then on in. The giant boulder of our Senior year was Harold Langell with Jackie Razor, Marilyn Durow, Don Bantien, Delores Spens, and Margaret Donaldson assisting. . Our sports season wasn ' t too successful, but we were proud of our boys anyhow. , , „ On April 15th and 16th we gave the Senior play, The Angell Brats, which was a great success. We had several successful dances this year, among them being the annuel Mistletoe Dance. We sold Christmas cards and magazines, and the money earned from these activities paid for our Senior trip, May 18th thru May 22nd. Our trip was on the South American boat to Chicago. We are grateful to our guides, Mr. Pfingst and Mrs. Fullwood, who helped us around the last curve of our adventurous journey. As we come to the end of the winding road, we depart — leaving the happy memories we have had, and we hope that those who follow us down this same road will have as many happy memories. WISECRACRS Miss Norrington: I hope I didn ' t see you lodking on the next boy ' s paper, Leonard. Leonard Langell: I hope you didn ' t either, ma ' am. Nathan Brewer: You ' ll have to excuse my dancing; I ' m a little stiff from football. Helen Grabis: I don ' t care where you ' re from. Get off my feet. Football team ' s theme song Early to bed, early to rise; And your girl goes out with other guys.
