C ASS HISTQRY Petroleum Panthers from first to twelfth grade. From the first year to senior year the class of 5'7 has struggled to walk the tight rope of education. Our teachers as ringmasters directing our progress along the tight rope have contributed much to our knowledge. Our first year in high school, with all the background of education, we were ready to begin the four high school years. Starting out on the tightrope toward graduation in our Freshman year were: Donald Addington, Kermit Addington, Betty Barnes, Janice Bates, Lavelle Bower, Dallis Bunch, Judy Breedlove, George Carnes, Judy Gerber, Mary Jane Grimm, Jill Harshman, Lois Leader, Amos Miller, Donnie Mur- ray, Don Okey, Jim Ramseyer, Pauline Ramseyer, Jerry Reaser, Pat Shane, Carol Taylor, and Karol Wil- liams. Then later in the year Sharon Gregg came to join the tightrope walking team. Our officers for this year were President-Jill Harshmang Vice-President-Betty Barnes, Secretary-Pauline Rarnseyerg Treasurer-Jerry Reaser. with one year of high school experience behind us we began our sophomore year. We could almost feel the greenness wearing off. This year we chose Don Addington as our President, Pauline Ramseyer as our Vice President, George Carnes as our Secretary, Jill Harshmau as our Treasurer. Mrs. Lautzenheiser was our sponsor. We gained two new members: Doris Brickey and Phyllis Ellison. We lost Pat Shane this year. Upon returning for our Junior year we discovered these students missing: Kermit Addington, Lavelle Bower, and Doris Brickey. This year Jill Harshman was our President, Her Vice President was Don Ad- dington, Secretary-Phyllis Ellison, Treasurer-Pauline Ramseyer, During this year our money making projects were: selling magazines, concessions at ballgames, Christmas candy, scrap drive, and a bake sale. Our class play Ghost House' was presented this year. During the summer and Senior year via the preacher we lost 4 members fthey got marriedj. They were Betty Barnes, Sharon Gregg, Dallis Bunch, and Judy Breedlove. Two others withdrew at the begin- ning of the year leaving only 13 members to uphold the Senior tradition. They were Amos Miller and Jim Ramseyer. We presented the western farce Desperate Ambrose this year. We also sold Christmas cards, bas- ketball programs, and also disassembled an old threshing machine and sold the junk. For our class officers this year, we selected Jill Harshman as our President. Jerry Reaser was our Vice President, Phyllis Ellison-Secretary, and Pauline Ramseyer-Treasurer. This year, we published the paper every two weeks. Of course we enjoyed our Senior year more than the others. Spending our school days at PHS was the main reason for this. 16 ,
