At last we had finally made the grade, we were Freshmen, We struggled th- rough Algebra, General Science, and English. The boys took Economic Geogra- phy while the girls took Home Economics. The Tenth grade was the parting of ways for us in the subjects that we took. We ordered our class rings. 'Ihe Eleventh grade found us giving a Junior class play and a Junior-Senior ban- quet. We gained Fred Brewster. In the Twelfth grade, eight of the starting class were still attending school in the good old class of 55 . They are Ray Dean Clayton, Teddy Feick, Martha Everling, Leo Powers, Darrel Morrison, Sara Johnson, Katherine Speed, Donnie Weed. Our last year found us with Alice Andersen, Fred Brewster, Richard Capps, Ray Dean Clayton, Martha Everling, Teddy Feick, Karen Felker, Sharen Felker, Esther Fleener, Judith Gillispie, Sara Johnson, Joan Lane, Darrel Morrison, Dean Mc- Ilravy, Leo John Powers, Rosemary Reddington, Katherine Speed, Jim Tussey, Ver. da Tucker, Donnie Weed, Pat Williams. emem er S n event!! fa Q FSTROWMDyerJl ,PWM Rdd F ke ohnso M E. g R dd gt RDIOW l F C., K Felke K Speed R Cl to L Po D M 1, 4 E ,e IR I .
