The following year as Sophomores we elected Terry Collins - President, Dale France - Vice-President, Ann Hamilton - Secretary, and Joan Landron - Treasurer There were 55 of us this year working toward our goal to become seniors. Our homeroom teachers were Mrs. Miller and Mr. Hemple. Our Junior year proved to be very busy. The Student Council was formed this year and Terry Collins was elected President and Ann Hamilton Secretary. Joan Landron was elected Football Queen to reign over the Football Dance. On March 13, 1953, we proudly presented our Junior Play, Have A Heart . We raffled a radio, sold School Daze , sponsored a candy sale and received our class rings. Class officers this year were: President - David Trevarthen, Vice-President - J. C. Whitney, Secretary - Nan Talmage, and Treasurer - Joan Landron. Mrs. Birm- ingham was our class advisor. Toward the end of the year all our thoughts turned to the Junior-Senior Prom. And then this year we found ourselves full fledged Seniors at last! We elected Ann Hamilton - President, J. C. Whitney - Vice-President, Janet Wait - Secre- tary, Joan Landron - Treasurer. Maureen Updyke and Terry Collins were our student council representatives. Also Ruth Musbach and J. C. Whitney were the Sky Club representatives. Mr. Henderson was our class advisor. The first thing we did th' ' ' is year was to choose the Annual Staff. Our Senior pictures were taken in Nov. We presented our Senior Play, Brother Goose , January 22, 1954. The money for our trip to Mackinac Island June l, 1954, was earned by selling adver- tisements for the Annual, refreshments at the games, magazine subscriptions, charm bracelets, and by sponsoring dances. Our class has worked hard this year and now that our high school days are almost over, we now look forward to the Prom and Graduation Day when with diplomas in hand, we shall know we have attained our goal.

Cfcldri 02171 FAREWELL TO THEE DEAR CENTER Farewell to thee dear Center High, We're here to say our last good-bye. We'll leave our juniors to take our place, For we have finally reached first base. We have had our fun with all its joys, With a mixture of 37 girls and boys. Now that we are mentally fit, -------- We're going out and make the most of it. Some would skip others would play, But Mr. Brown said Theres school today. The faculty has been nice to all of us, Educating the class without much fuss. We have tried to do our very best And leave the teachers to take a rest. Some are glad that this is the end But down this road is a big bend. We'll find our happiness as we go Looking and still reaching for that goal. As we close our class roorn door, We say farewell from the class of fifty-fou HIGH I V I. I 1
