These records are quite often called history. We, the Mt. Blanchard Senior Class of 1957, have our records and history too. Twelve years ago thirty youngsters entered school as first graders . Mrs . Betty Keller was given the task of guiding us through our first year of school life. Of those thirty that started together, eighteen of us will graduate together. We are Marlin Bishop, Robert Bowman, james Clark, Annabelle Cole, Clarabelle Cole , Gary Cole, Karen Cole, Donald Davis , Marilyn Davis , Ronald Dunbar, Betty Francis , Ierry Krout, Phyllis Mus- grave, Iulia Snook, Patricia Tong, Mark Trout, john Vermillion, and Nancy Sampson. Those that have joined the original class are Bonnie Bond in the third grade: Mary Ellen Oldham and Donna Hindinger in the fourth grade: Betty Arnold, Ioan McDaniel, and lane Bishop in the fifth grade: Gene Butler and Carol Smith in the seventh grade: Karol Thompson in the freshman year: and Violet Nuzum and Earl Shisler in the sopho- more year. During the first eight years of school, the entire class took the same subjects: but, when the thirty-four of us became freshmen on August 31 , 1953, we no longer had the same subjects. Each of us, as an individual, had a choice to make. Class officers chosen for the year were Jerry Krout, president: Gene Butler, vice-president: Phyllis Musgrave, secretary: Marilyn Davis , treasurer: Gary Cole, Student Council repre- sentative: and Sharon Bishop, reporter. Only thirty-two members were on hand for the beginning ofthe sophomore year of high school. The following were elected for class officers: jerry Krout, president: Mark Trout, treasurer: Robert Bowman, reporter: Mary Ellen Oldham, secretary: Phyllis Musgrave, vice-president: and Clarabelle Cole, Student Council representative. Thirty-one pupils became juniors in August, 1955. Those elected as officers for the year were Mark Trout, president: Marilyn Davis , treasurer: Mary Ellen Oldham, reporter: Annabelle Cole, secretary: Marlin Bishop, vice-president: Gary Cole and Carol Smith, Compliments of DALLY FUNERAL HOME AI'liI1g'COI1, Ohio 1 6

Student Council representatives . When the final year, the senior year, of school came, only twenty-nine members were found on the enrollment list. Again the customary election of class officers was held. The results were as follows: Marlin Bishop, president: Mark Trout, vice- president: Annabelle Cole, secretary: Karen Cole, treasurer: Mary Ellen Oldham, reporter: Phyllis Musgrave and Ronald Dunbar, Student Council representatives. Our senior class , as other senior classes have, took part in many activities during our high school career. These activities included girls' chorus, mixed chorus, boys' chorus , operettas , mixed ensemble, girls' ensemble, G.A.A. , F.H .A., F.F.A. , F.'T.A. , band, basketball, baseball, football, pep band, girls' basketball, girls' volleyball, National Honor Society, Student Council, B Men's club, junior Red Cross, cheer- leaders, librarians, office help, senior play, junior play, homecoming queens, and cafeteria help. It seems almost impossible that a class could participate in so many activities . When we were sophomores, twelve members of the class were asked to serve for the junior-senior banquet. As juniors, the class produced the play, Grandad Steps Out, and gave a banquet in honor of the seniors with the theme Aloha. During the senior year a reception, with the theme of Candyland, was given for the juniors . The senior class play was entitled Swing Your Partner. 'l'he high school newspaper, the Purple 6: Gold, and the high school annual, Leaves of 57, were successfully publishedby the senior class. Several outstanding honors have been received by the members of the class . Marlin Bishop, Annabelle Cole, Gary Cole, Karen Cole, Mary Ellen Oldham, Karol Thompson, and Nancy Sampson are members of the National Honor Society. Annabelle Cole, Clarabelle Cole, Marilyn Davis , and Phyllis Musgrave receivedtheir State Homemaker's Degree in home economics when they were juniors. Marlin Bishop was selected as National junior Vegetable Grower for the year of 1956. Clarabelle Cole and Marilyn Davis represented the Mt. Blanchard P.H.A. chapter at the National Safety Congress in Chicago. Twelve years of our lives have been spent in school to prepare for the future--the future for which we are eager and we hope well prepared to enter.
