Our major activity was sponsoring the Valentine's Party and the not so pleasant task of being initiated. In the fall of “55” twenty Sophomores returned to Neponset High School, we lost Mickey Kazmerski and gained Kay Kizer. We elected our class officers, Becky, president; Arnold, vice president; Kay, secretary; and Joan, treasurer. Danny, Mary, Becky and Linda were appointed as Booster Club members. The class gave the Freshmen a hard time by sponsoring the Initiation Party. The class also decorated the gym for the Homecoming Dance, to the theme of Autumn Leaves. FRESHMLN HISTORY Thirteen freshmen entered Neponset High on September 1, 1955. We elected officers as follows: Jean Papacek, president; Billy Mercer, vice president; Janet Miller, secretary-treasurer. We were represented on the Booster Club by Carolyn Carley and Billy Mercer. The next step in our school career was our initiation which we passed with flying colors and became full fledged high school students. We sponsored the traditional Valentine’s Party which was a large success. Printed Page Breedloves Sports Store, Kewanee Jim Du rick, Kewanee
