Senior Class History AY 24, 1958. This date terminated four wonderful fun-packed years for the sev- enteen members of the 1958 Senior Class. These four years began August 30, 1954. Here is a partial History of the Class of 58 . Our Freshman class. which was com- posed of thirty-nine members was the largest in the Senior High. Mrs. Garriott and Mr. Raisor were our sponsor-teachers. The class was well represented in several activities. In the sports field we had ten boys: in band. five boys. The Morton Memor- ial Choir was strengthened by eleven of our members while five were in dancing classes. Providing the music for the dancers was the Dance Band which sported two of our boys. The first semester of our Sophomore year saw us with thirty-two members. Six of our Class won places on the varsity football team, five on the varsity basketball squad, and four on the track team. We were still well represented in the musical department. Eleven of our girls joined 4-H and two boys joined Art Club. The National Honor Society also held two classmates in membership. So We stood at the mid-way mark of our High School careers. A fast summer passed and suddenly we were Juniors, with new sponsors, Mrs. Wogerman and Mr. Brewer. We had lost several classmates along the way and we now stood only twenty-one strong. Members of our class participated in al- most every school activity, music, sports, dancing, the various clubs, and the Christ- mas play. Then the biggest event of the year, the Junior-Senior Prom, and the honor of dec- orating the gym for the occasion, came to the scene. We set to work determined to make it one of the most beautiful Proms ever Wit- nessed at the school. If we didn't make it, we at least came pretty close. We made use of everything, even a couple of trees which mys- teriously materialized from nowhere. Another summer passed. August 26, 1957, that day we entered the home stretch of the four year course. We had lost none of the twenty-one of the previous year, but four were to leave before the school year was over. The first big event of our Senior year was the change from football to baseball as an autumn sport. The team did as well as could be expected for its first try. The Homecoming Dance, at which We were guests of the Morton Alumni, gave us a chance to ren-ew old friendships and to make new ones. Then came the time to elect class offi- cers. When votes were counted the results were as follows: Frank Strother, President, David Goins, Vice-Presidentg Esther McCloud, Secretary, and James Smith, Treasurer. December 7 : The Senior Christmas Shop- ping at Indianapolis, gave us a chance to get together a few gifts to take along on the second Christmas Vacation from December 21-29.
