HISTORY In the year 1954 we entered high school as Freshmen, and thought we were really dignified. We had never had the opportunity of changing classes, and having different teachers for every subject. This was the first year we were able to belong to a club. We felt grown up, but we were still not grown enough to have the responsibilities of Juniors and Seniors. In the second year of high school we were called Sophomores. Our greatest thrill in that year, was serving at the Junior-Senior Banquet. The theme was April Showers . All of us were very shaky while serving the food. We probably enjoyed the banquet more than the Juniors and Seniors did. We will always remember our Junior year,because we got our class rings and gave our Junior play called Grandpa Hangs the Holly, --re- member George as Grandpa , Betty as his wife , Bobby as Mr. Howard , Barbara as Mrs. Howard , Doris as Susan , Wayne Hayes as Harry , Mary Ann as Anne the Maid , Maxine as Mrs. Leland , Sandra as Miss Burch , Graham as Arthur , an airplane pilot, and Mary Frances as Betty . We will never forget the good timeswe had practicing this play. We struggled up the ladder until fina1ly,we became dignified Seniors. Our Senior year has been one of hard work and some play with Mrs. Watkins as our homeroom te ache r . We are looking forward to giving the Senior play and we hope for a successful performance. I is year many of us have become experienced salesman trying ' up our class treasury. We are now climbing closer to the top of our ladder the coming years we will look back over our many thrilling expe and appreciate people that have helped us to reach this goalfor vw long we have labored.
