CLASS lt was plain to be seen right from the beginning that the class of '55 was no or- dinary class. The term green, green Freshmen didn't even begin to describe us. Nothing less thana deep, dark emer- ald shade seemed to fit us. Our sponsors took one look at us and groaned. Being good teachers, though, they accepted the challenge knowing that if they made something out of this group, the day of miracles wasn't past. So if we were much improved at the end of our Freshmen year, we owe a rousing vote of thanks to Miss Howard, Miss Barker, Miss Green and Mr. Reibold. The officers chosen to control this class were Eugenia Redman, gavel rapper, Myrna Goodwin, V. P. and Program chair- man, Janice Rinnert, who scri bled the minutes, Gene Buchanan, the check and balance boy, and Gayle Farris, the his- tory writer. One of the first things we did was elect Shirley Patmore as our candidate for the Grid-Iron Queen Crowning and later in the year Janice Rinnert was chosen to repre- sent our class in the Basketball Queen Crowning. We were disappointed when we didn't come up with a queen, But iiust wait until next year! was our rep y. Anybody want to buy a hot dog? This was the uestion everyone was ask when the Fresimen sold concessions at the Basketball games. The year passed quickly but all things must come to an end. Still trying to be different, we ended our Freshmen year with a class picnic at the reen Athletic Park, which proves two slgiades of green do go well together. F The next year we got off to a flying start as Silly Sophomores when we elected our officers. They were John Breiner, Gerald Jeffries, Janice Rinnert, and Myrna Goodwin. Our sponsors were Mr. Martin, Mrs. Martin, and Mr. Brown. We made our last year's threat ood when our Football candidate, Ga le Jfarris, was Maid-of-Honor and Martha Gowan was crowned Basketball Queen. Just think, a Queen and Maid-of-Honor both in our Sophomore year! Then came the exciting event of our Sophomore life--the Donkey Basketball Game. Everyone was anxious to ride a Donkey, but the day after the night before was a different story. We came to school groaning and moaning about our aching acks. ut when its all said and done, we had a lot of fun during our silliest year, our Sophomore year.
