Class History We greeted our first year in high school with some doubts and high hopes, eagerly anticipating our first formal dance in high school, the annual Snow Ball. Tom Frank was class President, Steve Rice served as vice-president, Connie Beckwith was secre- tary and Ken Tucker, treasurer. Our first venture into fund raising found us staging a financially successful record hop with the assistance of our advisors, Mr. Vogelg- sang, Mrs. Barlow, and Mrs. Jeffords. Sophomore status increased our self-confidence and we sponsored another success- ful class dance. Our officers that year were Bill Root, president, Jane O’Wyatt, vice- president, and Betsy Castaldy, treasurer. Connie Money replaced Clifford Cummings as secretary after Clifford moved away. We acquired new advisors, Miss Mowry, Mr. Tefft and Mr. Vogelgsang. Selecting our class rings made us feel terribly superior in our junior year. We were busy selling magazines to help defray expenses for our wonderful Junior Prom, Blue Hawaii. Mrs. Detweiler and Miss Mowry were our faculty advisors and our offi- cers were Ronnie Beckwith, president, Dave Race, vice-president, Judy Clark, sec- retary, and Carolyn Miles, treasurer. Although we had frequently doubted its arrival, our Senior year finally loomed on the horizon. Ronnie remained as our president, with Zoe Carkuff second-in-command; Carolyn Miles continued as custodian of our finances and Connie Money took over class secretary. Mr. Buhner joined Mrs. Detweiler and Miss Mowry to guide us through our Senior year. We sold pins and candy galore to raise money for our class banquet and for our commencement caps and gowns which we chose in red for the girls and black for the boys. Graduation cards and announcements were pored over and hotly discussed; class colors, lavender and white were chosen and the orchid designated as our class flower. Now we await graduation and as we leave these famil- iar surroundings to enter a new phase, be it college, marriage or industry, we will endeavor to remember our class motto, The path of duty is the way to glory.
