Benjamin Leads Junior Class The junior class of 1956-57 elected Lloyd Benjamin as its president. Byron Loescher was elected vice-president and Marilyn Meyers was chosen secretary- treasurer. Elections were held in autumn. There were 122 students enrolled in the class, 79 men and 43 women. Junior students held positions of im- portance in all school organizations. Jim Mcllmoyle and Darwin Voss were elect- ed officers in the Men ' s Organization. Sylvia Vap was secretary-treasurer of the Tom-Toms. All five cheerleaders were juniors: Ruth Janisch, Mary Kay Stromp, Linda Peterson, Jerri Murphy and Mary Lou Bricker. Homecoming, always a high point in the year, received special attention this year. The junior class was divided into committees and given spots around the town to decorate. Each year six students are chosen to attend the homecoming king and queen. Members of the football team select the girls, and the pep club chooses the boys. Marilyn Meyers, Mary Kay Stromp and Ruth Janisch were the attendants to the queen and Lloyd Benjamin, Darwin Voss and Jim App were attendants to the king. The juniors entertained the seniors at the annual all-school party on Novem- ber 19. Dancing provided the main en- tertainment. During the intermission the boys octette, which included six juniors, Don Crum, Lloyd Benjamin, Dean Mills, Darwin Voss, Rodney Petsch and Ellery Kyte, provided additional entertainment. In the field of forensics, the junior class was ably represented by Steve Frazier, who won many honors for Mc- Cook in debate and discussion. BIG WHEELS.
