3.118 SENIOR HISTORY It was in the fall of 1960, when twenty- five, wide-eyed green freshmen stumbled up the stairs of Qld Metz High and began a four- year span that would be a treasured memory forever. Those heading our class were: Walker Rutledge - President, Tommy Sumner - Vice- President, Karen Johnson - Secretary, Peggy Willson - Treasurer, and Helen Lyons - Reporter. Mr. Hart was our sponsor. That dreaded initiation came and went, one of the hardships all freshmen must encounter, and all of us seemed to come through in fair condition. ' Not until the next year when we moved to the high-going rank of Sophomores did we get to pull our seniority and practically crucified our lower classmen. We chose that year as our leaders: Lawrence Cole - President, Tommy Sumner - Vice-President, Diane Weddle - Secre- tary, Peggy Willson - Treasurer, and Karen Johnson - Reporter, with Mr. Hayward as our spon- sor. We lost Dava Leer that year. ln 1961 Metz High had its first crowning of King and Queen in some time. Our candidates were Karen Johnson and Lawrence Cole. Although they didn't make it to the throne, they were great runners-up. Having completed half the expedition, we came back our Junior year with more confidence more responsibilities, more seniority, and fewer classmates. We lost four over the summer va- cation, who were, Pauline Pryor, Brenda Brown, Evelyn Pullin, and Rose Stanart, but we also gained Harlan Forkner, At the top of our 1962 Junior Class, making all the big decisions were: Tommy Sumner - President, Mary Ellen Dark - Vice-President, Rosemary Kleen - Sec- retary, Peggy Willson - Treasurer, and Alice Johnson - Reporter, with Mr. Jones as Captain. Again that year there was a King and Queen, our candidates were Peggy Willson and Raymond Hunt. Again we didn't get past the candidacy stage, but we did come in second. Our Junior Play, They Gave Him a Co- Ed, was a huge success, with Mr. Hart doing a professional job of directing all the way. On May 4th and 5th we took the seniors on the annual Junior and Sen- ior trip to Rockaway Beach. The trip was a big success, and everyone had lots of fun, The important year for a class, any class, is their senior year. And so our senior year fi- nally arrived. Guiding us through our final blunders and achievements were: Diane Weddle - President, Larry Reed - Vice- President, Joe Brooks - Secretary, Peggy Willson - Treasurer, Sharon Wadel - Reporter, and Tommy Sumner - Sergeant- at- Arms, with Mr. Marlow and Mrs. McGil1'as sponsors. Three major changes took place our last year. We lost our superintendent, Mr. Sivils, who had been with us since the beginning, our coach and our Home Ec. teacher. In their places came Mr. Grandy, who quite capably and very impressively took over the high of- fice of superintendentg Mrs, McGill to teach Home EC.: Mr. Yoder as coachg and also a very qualified math teacher, Mr. McGinness. We also lost three good friends and classmates during the summer, Linda Wilson, Helen Lyons, and Raymond Hunt. Since we knew this would be our last year to get the King and Queen candidates crowned, we elected Rosemary Kleen and Tom- my Sumner, and set out to win this battle. It was a long and bloody one, but we fought to the finish and finally won, On October 16, 1962, we happily took our Senior, Skip day to Kansas City.. We went to the American Royal and downtown. Now our last year is about to come to a sudden halt with eight seniors completing their full twelve years at Metz. We leave be- hind us a lot of friends and carry away with us a whole arm load of memories and a brain just packed with knowledge. I FAREWELL Farewell dear school. Farewell and good-by, because we are leaving you. Never again to step foot within your ivy-covered walls as one of your students. You may be a little weary from wear, but you stand very tall and erect and watch your children come and go. Some leaving with a tear in their eye, others with a song in their heart. We, like all the rest, are proud to have been a part of you, but this too must come to an end. So, good-by dear school, and --- farewell, forever. 4, ,.. . .,,,. , , . . . . ,, ' fu -..., , .. ...JY .s.-1. 1,-,5.,.+,a:..'.-.1-vu-zm.-U...-.-.i..-,..........-,...-..-..a.-......-....s-
