tary, Donna Holt, Treasurer, Nancy Chappelear. Student Council members were Jane Shumaker, Bill Dalrymple, and Dave Evans. The Queen's attendant was Nancy Chappelear. This year was to be no exception, and, therefore, we participated in the many extracurricular activities of our school. We uncovered hidden talent and presented a fine class play, Dimples . ln March, four girls were named to the National Honor Society. Receiving this honor were Anna Mae Hardy, Hattie Elkins, Paula Hynus and Nancy Chappelear. After weeks of hard work and with the capable help of our class advisors, Ms. Folden and Mr. Neff, we produced an unforgettable Prom and Banquet. The theme was Ohio's Sesqui-centennial . 1954--Our senior year came before we were completely recovered from our hectic iunior year. Again we lost a few members and our class numbered seventy-four. To lead our class once more were: President, Dave Evans, Vice-president, Bob Strawn, Secretary, Nancy Chappelear, Treasurer, Donna Holt. Vik set to work with a class trip and a school annual in mind. But deep inside everyone's thoughts was concern for the future. What will our future be? College, nurses' training, service in the anned forces, secretarial work, or one of the many other fields? We were aware that our lives were just beginning. This year our football tecxn went all the way to be M.V.l-. co-champs. The co-captains were Don Hutchinson and George Hill. Our Homecoming Queenwas Nancy Chappelear with Emma Lou Johnson her senior attendant. Our Homecoming Dance and class play were two main events of the year. Now that our high school career must end, we think of the past. lt is sad to leave our school and our friends, but we leave happily and ambitious ly with a definite goal in our minds. ---Nancy Chappelear--- 24
