TWENTY-THREE G R A D E » Warren See Charles Urschel Dawn Ware Phyllis Warren HISTORY The class of 53, twenty-eight strong, made its first business for the year 1951-52 the election of officers. Elected were: Ronnie Brown—President Eleanor Rush—Vice President Sue Hammer—Treasurer Merlyn Holt—Store Manager PHyllis Grubbs—Class Reporter Charles Urschel—Annual Reporter Mr. Burt was again our class sponsor. The main money-making project, the can- dy and ice cream sales, was soon going smoothly. Too smoothly, it turned out, when twice the ice cream in the freezer melt- ed, and several cases of pop froze in the gym. However, we did make money even with our troubles. In October, we held a hay-ride and party at the home of Carol Rule. Plenty of hot dogs and several games were enjoyed by the Juniors and their guests. On October 28th, we served at the Egg Show Banquet. Nothing was spilled down anyone’s neck and we had a lot of fun dish- ing out the food. It was great temptation to eat some of what we were serving, too, but everyone seemed to get enough food. The class was paid by the Egg Show com- mittee for our services, so not only did we have fun, but got paid for it. In November, we planned a penny sup- per to be held on the 17th. The supper was a success even though we ran out of chicken pie before it was over. On December 27th, the Juniors were hosts to the Seniors for the Junior-Senior trip to Chicago to see the stage play South Pacific.” Leaving Mentone at 4:30 in the morning on the Nickel Plate railroad we arrived in Chi- cago early to spend a long and exciting dav in the big city.” A day of sight-seeing and shopping was climaxed by the play in the evening. The first experience of seeing a professional stage play for most of us was met with varying reactions. Just making our train for home we arrived hack in Men- tone at 2:30 a. m. A joint Junior-Senior money-making project is to be held later to help pay the cost of the train fare. Most of the class fared OK on the semes- ter exams, but several groans were heard when the scores were given out. When the second semester started we wel- comed a new member to our class, Kay Hat- field, who moved to Mentone from Winamac. Later in the year we will hold our play, some time in May, date yet undecided. At this writing, the play has not been chosen, but a committee has been appointed to choose it. In clubs and sports around school the Jun- iors are well represented. They have active participants in basketball, band, F. F. A., F. H. A., and speech club. The Junior year, though a busy one, has been a happy one for all of us. This Page Sponsored by DeLuxe Cleaners, Mentone
