Finders Creepers On Friday and Saturday nights, April 9 and 10, 1954, the Junior Class presented their annual spring play. Finders Creepers, a mys- tery comedy, was well attended and enjoyed by all. Ken Keasey and Bob Leidy kept the audience rolling with laughter with their por- trayals of Hercules Nelson and Wilbur Max- well. Little did Wilbur realize he was going to be visiting a mortuary. When they found themselves talking to a corpse the first night of their visit, confusion started! All's well that ends well, though, and after quite a com- motion, everything was explained and back to normal again. The play was directed by Mr. and Mrs. Porter.

Senior Class History An excited yet confident new class enter- ed the Portals of Cove High on September 8, 1952, and have left a constant path of success ever since. On that eventful morning we, the class of '55 with 88 members began our jour- ney through high school. During this first year we eagerly partici- pated in the track meet and magazine cam- paign and though we were defeated in both events, we had our share of the winning par- ticipants. The following officers were elected who guided us successfully through our Sophomore year: President, Robert Leidyg Vice President, Eva Sterng Secretary, Marian Constance, Treasurer, Lys Marting Historian, Helen Fea- thers, Athletic Representatives, Rhoda Wanca and Kenneth Keasey. During the year six dropped out of the class leaving 82 members. To climax the year an outing was held at Shawnee Park. Seventy-six pupils returned to continue their education as Juniors on September 8, 1953 and again our undying spirit glowed throughout the year. We captured second place in both the track meet and magazine campaign. We were represented at Music Festivals, FFA and FHA Activities, various clubs in the school and on the Jayvee and Varsity Basket- ball squads. Elections were held several weeks after school convened and we choose the following officers: President, Carol Teeter, Vice Presi- dent, Lys Marting Secretary, Jane Brum- baughg Treasurer, Linda StoudnourgHistorian, Jean Smithg Athletic Representatives, Eileen Hoover and Robert Brumbaugh. We selected our class rings in September and were lucky enough to receive them the first week in Dec- ember. A very successful mystery comedy en- titled Finders Creepers was presented un- der the direction of Mrs. Porter. The middle of May found us busily pre- paring the gym and our program for the Junior and Senior Banquet which was held on May 21 under the theme Oriental Gardens. We held only one class party, a gym party, which was very well attended. The class gained one member but lost six. Then on September 7, 1954 the long- awaited day had arrived, we were Seniors and seventy students were present to accept this new title. Class officers were elected as follows: President .......,. . ,.,.... ....,..... - Linda Nier Vice President .. .. Carol Teeter Secretary .. .. .. .........

Carol Brumbaugh Athletic Representatives ..., Joann Ritchey Richard Hoover We again saw defeat in the track meet as we placed second but the Magazine Cam- paign gave us a chance to shine. We won the campaign with little opposition and captured first place in every sense of the word. The top salesman and six other winners in the top ten salesmen came from our class. All senior homerooms were 1002 in sales entitling them to large juicy apples and ice cream. Our class play Years Ago was very successfully presented under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Porter on November 12 and 13. It was a change from the usual comedies giv- en here and was received with enthusiam. Again many of our class members repre- sented the school at County, District, and State Musical Festivals. The FFA gained rec- ognition by placing first in the state project contest while the FHA achieved honors at the State Farm Show. A gym party was held on April 1. On May 23, 24, and 25 we took our long awaited trip to Washington, D.C. Everyone reported a good time. Seventy-two members of our class re- ceived their diplomas on May 31 and joined the ranks of the alumni. May our unsevered spirit and ability to succeed scholastically serve as examples to oncoming classes.

Years Ago Friday and Saturday, November 12 and 13, were the big nights for the seniors when they presented Years Ago. The three-act play, with authentic, color- ful costumes, was a performance that held the interest of everyone. Ruth Jones, a stage struck teenager, was well portrayed by Carol Teeter. When Ruth's father firmly stated that she could not go to the big city to try her luck in show business, trouble began. However, at the end of the third act everything turned out well for Ruth, as her dreams came true and she was ready to board a train for New York to begin her career as an actress.
