Senior Class History SNIHEN WE began our freshman year, in 1951, we were all anxious to join with the rest of the upperclassmen. Being a freshman meant more activities and a better chance to join clubs. As we began our freshman year with forty-three members, we had Mr. Wiley and Miss Knowles as our sponsor teachers. One thing we looked forward to was an initiation, but we were disappointed when we didn't get one. The boys were anxious to begin sports that year. During their basketball season, they won ten out of sixteen. Our sophomore year had a better begin- ning than our freshmen year. We reduced our class to thirty-three members and still had Mr. Wiley and Miss Knowles as our sponsor teachers. This was the year the class separated to begin the courses of their choice and prepare for the future. This year continued to build up hopes for more activities for our class. Quite a few girls and boys were in choir, 4-H, dancing, band, dance band, boys' chorus, and the various clubs that were available. There was quite a number of boys active in varsity sports this year, too. With the help of Tim Brown, Dick Paige, and George Long, we won the County Tourney and went on to win the Sectionals. But we were not quite as successful in the regional tourney. Milan beat us in a double overtime. Other boys that play- ed varsity sports were: Bob Hull, Ronnie Irwin, Charles Ketchum, Louis Markovich, Ronnie Niverson, and Arthur Smith. Our Junior year began with twenty-nine members and we were also keeping Mr. Wiley and Miss Knowles as our sponsor teachers. The one thing we all looked forward to most of all was decorating for the Junior- Senior Prom. We had a Hawiian Scene with palm trees, huts, monkeys, coconuts, and a balloon ceiling. Our dance programs had monkeys on them to fit in with the theme of the prom. There were about the same number of boys going out for sports as there had been in the years before. We also won the County Tourney again. More of our class members were selected for clubs. Ruth Strother, George Long, and Sandy Miller were chosen for Honor Society and Marita Carter became a Yell Leader. Last but not least, the year we had all been looking forward to: OUR SENIOR YEAR! We started off with twenty-four members but lost our outdoor girl in Octo- ber, which left us with twenty-three mem- bers. Mr. Wiley and Miss Knowles were still with us at this point. At the end of the first semester though, Mr. Wiley resigned and a new teacher, Mr. McCullom, became the boys' sponsor teacher. This was the year to elect class officers. The elected officers were: George Long, Pres- identg Dick Paige, Vice-Presidentg Ruth Strother, Secretary: and Louis Markovich, Treasurer. Our class colors were Navy Blue and White with the American Beauty Rose as our flower. This was another year for sports. We won the County Tourney but lost to Rushville in the final game of the Sectionals. The boys that made the all tourney teams wereg Tim Brown, first team in County and Sectional
