Class History In 1954 we came to this school as curious and green Freshmen. We had no idea as to what was about to befall us and felt very lost in such a large place. Soon, however, we began to make a history of our own, gaining momentum with every day. The first noteworthy thing that we did was to win an ice cream party and $25 for second place in the annual Magazine Drive. That year, our class officers were as follows: Janis Shand — President, Janet Shand — Vice President, Elaine Keator — Sec.-Treasurer. We began our Sophomore year with a double victory. First, we won the annual Class Field Day. Then, we added $50 to our treasury by selling the most magazines in the Magazine Drive. Our Sophomore dance, Harvest Moon, was a huge success, showing that we knew how to sponsor good dances. For our officers that year, we elected Janis Shand as President, Joan Bugar as Vice President and Kathy Vett as Sec.-Treasurer. Our Sophomore Hop, “Harvest Moon was a huge success. Floyd Diedolf is our star athlete — here he is in our first game.

Here ive are uorking on the yearbook in one of our leisure moments. Bv the time we were Juniors, we had already established our place in the school. We began the year by electing Janis Shand as President, Janet Shand as Viee President and Floyd Diedolf as Sec.-Treasurer. For the second time, wc won the jug, showing conclusively, that our athletic prowess was invincible. Our class chose their class rings with excellent taste this year. Our Junior Prom, too, was a great success, not deviating for one moment from our great tradition. This year, we became Seniors with very few casualties. For the third time, we won the jug with an overwhelming victory. We elected Janis Shand as President, Bill Cotton as Vice President, and Liz Davis as Sec.-Treasurer for our class officers. This year was really wonderful with all of the exciting things — such as the Senior Play, the yearbook, and our Senior Ball. As when we first came, we are a little curious and apprehensive as to what the future holds in store for us. 30
