mess , G iiusikcfg In the early fall of 1950, twenty-seven ex-eighth graders of Milltown and Depauw grade-schools filled out the Freshman class enrollment cards. We were now opening the gate that led to the road of higher education. We had five new members- Gayle Stephenson, having regained her health, started her fresh- man year with usg Rex Seacat, Melvin Bary, Darrell Spencer, and Allen McCoy joined our ranks from Depauw grade school. Our school year started off with the presentation of our grade-school di- plomas by Mr. Bosse in the assembly room. We were all very thrilled at having received official diplomas. Our class officers for our Freshman year were: President, Paul Sullivang Vice-President, Ronnie Ferguson: Secretary, Gayle Stephenson, and Bob Walton, Treasurer. We enjoyed an all day skating party at West Baden, and a movie at Paoli with our sponsor, Mr. McKee, for our class trip. The Junior class also went along. We entered our Sophomore year with just as much vim and vitality as we had the year before. Rex Seacat, Melvin Bary, and Allen McCoy, having decided to finish their education at New Salisbury High School, dropped from our class roll. Gayle Stephenson, having finished her Sophomore year during the summer, moved ahead a class. We gained one new classmate, Miriam Byrum, from Oakland City, making us twenty-four Silly Sophomores. Our class officers were: President, Ronnie Fergusong Vice-President, Bob Hutslarg Secretary, Dorothy Gilmoreg and our Treasurer was Bob Walton. Dorothy Gilmore represented our class as a member of the student council. Our candi- dates for Queen and King of the carnival were Sherlie Green and Paul Sullivan. In the spring we enjoyed a trip to Spring Mill State Park with our sponsor, lr. Hooper. In the fall of l952, we entered upon what was to be our busiest school year. what with our play, banquet preparations, and other school activities, we were busy most of the time. We looked around and took a count and discovered that we had lost four classmates. We now numbered twenty-two, for George and Ellen Hoten had moved from New Salisbury to Milltown. During the first week of school we met with our sponsor, Mrs. Hancock, and elected our class officers. The tabulations came out - President, Dorothy G11- mcreg Vice-President, Ruth Balmerg Secretary, Sherlie Greeng and our Treasurer was Bob Walton. We decided on a comedy for our Junior play. We presented, on the evening of November 19, naaron Slick from Punkin' Crick.' Everyone who attended wit- nessed a very enjoyable evening. Two girls from our class expressed their talent and strong lungs on the cheer-leading squad. These two girls were Miriam Byrum and Libby Seacat. December 18, 1952, was another memorable date for our class. That was the night Mrs. Hancock was our hostess at a Christmas party. We all had the Chghg- mas spirit and enjoyed the evening immensely.
