I Z?ozcA9r01fznc! Waferiaf CLASS HISTORY If one were musing around the Mars High School Library today, as I was, they might find a dust-covered volume, entitled, Memoirs of Our Class. Opening the cover I see it is edited by the faculty, and published by the senior class. The first chapter is entitled Freshman Line-up. I see that fate- ful September Day in T947 when our class of 132 victims, darkened the threshold of that great institution of learning, Mars High School. To steer the class in the right direction we elected Jim Park as Presi- dent, and intrusted our dues to Lillian Bates. This year we were entertained with Bill MaxweII's jokes. Just imagine, no initiation. I guess the Junior Class thought we couldn't take it. One of the main and most enjoyable events was our Freshman Class Party. The new demerit system was the cause of many sorrows this year. On the next dusty page we can distinguish our Sophomore Class Picture. We are beginning to look more like intelligent students. This year we elected Paul Boyce as President, Jim Park as Vice-Presi- dent, Beverly Porter as Secretary and Bob Cupp as Treasurer. The main feature this year-was our Halloween Dance, which was a great success. Most of the members of our class were fortunate in being able to ioin extra curricular activities. Several of our music students took honors at state contest. Midway in our story, we come to the most interesting and adven- turous year, the year of our Junior Play, Prom, and May crowning. We certainly got to work this year in filling up our treasury. However, it paid off in one of the nicest Proms' Mars has ever had. Florence Prusnak was elected as our addition to the traditional May Queen Crowning Ceremony. Her court consisted of ten boys and ten girls. Shall we never forget our play Girl Shy , which has been ac- claimed by many as one of the best Junior Plays. Yes, believe it or not, Ronald Socash was found to be our Girl Shy hero. Among the footnotes we must not forget our officers who helped to make this year a success, Alvin Keck as President, Jim Park as Vice- President, Lois Karl as Secretary and Margie Rodger as Treasurer. The pages now become plainer as we see written before us our last happy year. For the last time we chose our officers, Jim Park as President, Bob Cupp as Vice-President, Margie Rodger as Secretary and Joyce Morris as Treasurer. Although we didn't excell in sports we see on the gridiron among many, Bill Mathews, Bob Cupp, Howard Leslie, Vic Fichter, Jim Wei- gand, Ronald Kennedy, and Paul Boyce in the spotlight. On the bas- ketball court we see Jim Anderson, Ronald Kennedy and Bob Dailey doing their best for their team. I continue to read that at the annual Thanksgiving Dance Joyce Morris was chosen the FootbaIl Queen. Then came our Senior Alumni Dance, Operetta and Senior Play, all bringing back memories of hard work and happy times. Before leaving the book, we see a picture of our class in Gradua- tion Robes. Who would have dreamed we would look like this? Clos- ing the covers, I close up the memories that have made us the success- ful Senior Class of 'I95'I. 23
