CLASS OF '57 HISTORY In September of 1953, Pawnee City High School was “honored” with the addition of 45 new little confused freshmen. We elected as our President, Carita Eggleston; Vice-President, Barbara Bowhay; Secretary-Treasurer, Joan Rinne; and Janice Hallberg as our Student Council Representative. This year we ran the teachers ragged with paper planes, notes, paper wads, and tacks on seats. Our sponsor was Mr. Larson. Since our funds were very low we had a com- bined party with the sophomores which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. We came back the second year with a class of 40 dignified sophomores. Our new officers were: President, Joan Rinne; Vice-President, Allen Synder; Secretary-Treasurer, Ronald Habegger; Student Council, Clark Hunzeker. Mrs. Dovel and Miss Watson attempted to be our sponsors. We had now become essential parts of the high school and acted accordingly. We started our junior year under the leadership of Allen Snyder, President; Pamela Fields, Vice-President; Ronnie Gilmore, Secretary-Treasurer; Charles Johnson and Carol Thompson, Student Council. Our sponsors were Mr. Oberg and Mrs. Eckman. Under the direction of Mrs. Bfatt we presented our class play “If Mother Only Knew” which was quite a success. The 39 members of our class entertained the seniors at the Junior-Senior Banquet with Lavender and Old Lace” as the theme. In September 1956, we became the so-called leaders” of the school. We were seniors at long last and how we ever made it is the question. We now had a class of 39 with Lou Haver- kamp, President; Gerald Schultz, Vice-President; Clark Hunzeker, Secretary-Treasurer; Barbara Bowhay and Allen Snyder, Student Council Our sponsors were Mrs. Bran and Mr. Winter. The big events of this year included the carnival sneak day, our play, Junior-Senior Banquet, Bac- calaureate, and last, but by no means least, Commencement. We didn’t quite understand just what it meant to be seniors until with solemn tread and measured step we marched down the aisles. It was the last time we would all be assembled in one group. As we think back over the many happy hours we have had in school, we find it has not been the terrible task we thought it was; but a wonderful experience which we shall always remember.
