CLASS HISTORY As we look back on our first year at P.C.H.S. we see forty-three confused freshies who are now seniors but who are still just as confused. We elected as our class officers, President, Frances Jensen; Vice-President, Ross Gifford; Secretary-Treasurer, Mary Herries; Student Council, Jim Fay. Our poor sponsor was Mr. Hofmann. I wonder why he left after that yearl Our class was well represented in the High School Operetta. The freshman attendants for the Carnival that year were Frances Jensen and Ross Gifford. ' When we entered the next year as sophies, we boasted the largest class in high school with forty-eight members. Our officers were. President, Frances Jensen; Vice-President, Budd Williams; Secretary-Treasurer, Mary Herries; Student Council, Jim Fay. Miss Beasing (now Mrs. Dovel) and Miss Danielson were our sponsors. Carnival attendants that year were Frances Jensen and Larry Newton. We entered our junior year with President, Larry Newton; Vice-President, Ross Gifford; Secretary-Treasurer, Bob Graham; Student Council, Frances Jensen and Don Poland. Our sponsors were Miss Kelly and Miss Lynch (now Mrs. Zemanek.) Under the direction of Miss Kelly we presented our class play, Nearly Beloved. It was a big success. Out of our thirty- nine class members we chose Carolyn McVitty and Jim Fay to represent us at the Carnival. We entertained the seniors at the Junior-Senior Banquet. Hawaii was the theme. It was an event never to be forgotten. In September, 1954, thirty-seven entered P.C.H.S. as seniors. Only twenty-nine of these were of the original forty-three that started as freshmen in 1951. Our officers for our fourth and final year were President, Larry Newton; Vice-President, John Bennett; Secretary, Carolyn McVitty; Treasurer, Chuck Allen; Student Council, Ross Gifford and Helen Ann Chittick. Our sponsors were Mrs. Bratt and Mr. Winter. Jim Fay and Carolyn McVitty, King and Queen, and Larry Newton and Frances Jensen, senior attendants, were elected as Carnival royalty. Under the direction of Mrs. Bratt we presented our senior play, We Were Young That Year. We enjoyed Sneak Day, the seniors day to play hooky lawfully, the Junior-Senior Banquet, Class Day, Baccalaureate, and our last appearance as seniors at Commencement.
