Class History In the fall of 1954, eighty-four bounding students entered their freshman year of high school. However, after the first few weeks, our advisors, Mr. Priode, Mrs. Adcock, and Miss Bower, had us well under control. To lead the class, we chose Kenneth Stalter, Leeman Spradlin, Larry Thompson, and Tom Tucker, president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. On the Student Council, we placed Jim Williams, Betty Rexrode, and Tom Charles. From our ample supply of attractive girls, we chose Joyce Harbaugh for the freshman attendant at the homecoming. The next year, our number was reinforced by one, making a total of eighty-five for Mrs. Priode and Mrs. Bailey's Home rooms. For president, we again elected Kenneth Stalter; for vice president, Leeman Spradlin; secretary, Joyce Harbaugh; treasurer, Tom Tucker. This year we began in earnest to earn money for our senior trip by having bake sales and other activities. Our student council representatives were Mary Anderson and Paul Sorrell. For the sophomore attendant, we selected Kaye Rankin. The summers are going very fast now, and, when we enter our junior year, we begin to realize how little time we have left. For the 1956-1957 school year, Mr. John Neff and Mr. Paul Martin became our class advisors. Our strength has declined by five students, leaving a total of eighty. Our experienced officers led us again this year: Kenneth Stalter, Leeman Spradlin, Larry Thompson, and Tom Tucker. On the student council, we placed Nancy Godfrey and Paul Sorrell. For the homecoming, our junior attendant was Betty McGaughey. Our junior class play, Papa Says No , was a success and added to our treasury. Jeff Jenkins gained the honor of attending Boys' State for our high school. By now that treasury was at a fair level; however our banquet and prom, the theme of which was Mid Summer Night's Dream , took their share of our profits. In no time at all the long-awaited senior year was here and we were back with Mr. Neff and Mr. Martin. All seventy-four of us were now one year older, and worst of all, we began to realize it. However, we became so engrossed in the year's many activities that we had no time for such thoughts. Kenneth Stalter, president, and Tom Tucker, treasurer, were also our football team's co-captains. Other officers were: vice president, Leeman Spradlin; secretary, Larry Thompson. Jeff Jenkins and Jim Williams represented us on the Student Council for our last year. The school selected Kay Rankin to be the homecoming queen. Our senior attendant was Norellan Sims. Now, while we are amid these activities, they carry little meaning. Given a few years, these and other memories will bring us regret—regret that we could not stay young, and enjoy these blissfull years forever. But we realize that time must go on, and we must grow reluctantly older. However, we do not falter at this thought, but look to the future and strive ever to better ourselves in this modern age.
