Qsenzbz' jlglsfofy On September 3, 1952, our class entered the doors of Meshoppen High School to begin our four years of high school. We assembled in room 25 with Mr. VanLieu as our home room teacher. As roll was taken we found thirty-five members in the class, twenty coming from the Center, thirteen from Meshoppen, one from Jessup, and one from Tunkhannock. The following officers were elected: President. Ben Cole, Vice President, Harold Craigeg Secretary, John Hardingg Historian, Raymond Manning, Treas urer, Bill Carter. After Mr. VanLieu left us in October to teach in New Jersey, Mr. Heinrich and Mr. Marhafka were our home room teachers. During our freshman year two members of our class left us: Joan Ladner, who moved to Tunkhannock, and Carl Hoffman. In September 1953, we began our sophomore year. Looking around we found one member of our class missing, Ellen Kocher, who had moved to Lawton, but we were happy to welcome Phyllis Hampsey in her place. We assembled in room 22 and were very happy to have Mrs. Space as our class advisor. The following officers were elec- ted: President, Sherry Buttonp Vice President, John Hardingg Treasurer, Regina Bankog Secretary, Raymond Manning, Historian, Harold Craigeg Representatives, Buddy Lutz and Evelyn Smith. This year we picked our class motto, Always Travel In High: Never Shift Gears g our flower, Lily of the Valleyg and our colors, Green and White. Before our sophomore year came to a close five of our members left: Sherry Button, who got married, Duane Root, Clarence Marbaker, Shirley Teetsel, and Margaret Faux. During the year we had two class parties. We entered our junior year in room 22 with Mrs. Space again our advisor. As we looked over our classmates, we found that we had lost one of our members, Timothy Sheldon, who had gone to Staunton Military Instituteg but we were very happy to wel- come four new members to our classy Runyon Purdy from Wyalusing, Esther Carter, Daniel Newhart, and Harlan Sherwood from West Auburn, this giving us a total of thirty-two. The following officers were elected: President, John Harding, Vice Pres- ident, Raymond Manningg Treasurer, Phyllis Hampseyg Secretary, Regina Bankog His- torian, Arlene Cainesg Representatives, Evelyn Smith and Bill Carter. At last our long awaited day came when we ordered our class rings. We were all very pleased
