Our officers were: President, Don Anderson, Vice-president, Shirley Blanton, Secretary, Hattie Elkirs, Treasurer, Bill Dalrymple. Several of the boys played on the football, basketball and baseball teams. Our class also participated in band, glee club, and publication of the school newspaper. As the Homecoming Queen's attendant, we chose Mona Dickerson. The Student Councilmembers were Jane Shumaker, Emma Lou Johnson, and Gary Camp.
