CLASS HISTORY We, the Senior Class of 1955, entered New Knoxville High School as green freshmen on September 4, 1951. Our class consisted of eight girls and eleven boys. During this year we gained a new member, Richard Shroyer, of Wapakoneta. High school life was more complex, but we quickly adjusted ourselves to this change. Sixteen of our members joined the chorus while seven were in the band. Our class was well represented in sports. Eight boys were in baseball and eight in basketball. We returned to school in the fall of 1952 as Sophomores, with a class of eight girls and thirteen boys. Our new members, Dale Klopfenstein, moving to our district from Botkins and Don Reilly came from Lima Shawnee during the summer. We had thirteen members in chorus and seven in the band. We had five boys in baseball and seven boys in basketball. Also two girls were chosen cheerleaders during the basketball season. During this year two of our mem- bers, james King and Richard Shroyer, found interests elsewhere, while Ronald Kuck dropped back at the end of the year. On September 2, 1953, we began our Junior year with seven girls and twelve boys, dropping Betty Parke during the summer when she moved to Peoria, Illinois. During this year we were all proud to receive our class rings. On October 23rd our class presented the play Seventeenth Summer, which was a great success. On May 7th we presented the junior-Senior Reception in honor of the Seniors. Our class remained well represented in chorus, band, and sports during this year. One of our classmates, Janice Eversman, dropped out in the spring of our junior year. We, the Senior Class of 1955, entered our last year of high school edu- cation as dignified seniors on September 7, 1954. During the year we lost one member, Dale Klopfenstein, which gave us a total of sixteen members left in our class. We again took part in many of the activities as we had done during the first three years in high school. On the first of April, the Seniors presented All American Family, a three-act comedy, which was a great success. We were the honored guests of the junior-Senior Reception, which was sponsored by the class of 1956. We will long remember and cherish the week of our graduation exercises. 16
