' 3462 dlaaegfdatofzq The fall of 1954 marked the beginning of our high school journey. There were twenty -seven of us, wide eyed and proud: Richard Arnold, Janet Banter, Elizabeth Bryant, Barbara Cox, Carolyn Davis, Dennis Diffenderfer, Donnie Engle, Ronnie Engle, Nancy Foust, Robert Fear, Wyndetta Graham, Jone Gregg, Floyd Harshman, Marjorie Hodge, Sue Ifer, Ronald Johns, Kay Kirkwood, Pat Lovell, Earl Meshberger, Robert McFarren, Carl Pease, Nancy Pinkerton, Sue Reynolds, Donald Schooley, Gary Shannon, Bill Stanton, Nora Vanover, Ramona Womrlan. Our class officers were: President-Don S., Vice Pres. - Barbara C., Secretary- Dennis D., and Treasurer-Elizabeth B. We were promptly put in our places on initiation day, but as the year progressed, we could feel the greeness wearing off. We were more confident in our sophomore year and we were beginning to enjoy the feeling of seniority. Our officers were Pres.-Don S., Vice Pres. -Caroll W., Secretary -Jone G., Treasurer-Elizabeth B., News Reporter-Dennis D. During the year, Pat Lovell moved to Portland and Caroll Williams joined our class. In our junior year, we began to realize that hard work accompanies high school years. Our main money-making projects were, selling magazines, handling the ballgame concessions, presenting the play Granddad Steps Out, and playing host to the seniors at the reception. Perhaps the project we worked hardest on was our Valentine Dance. Our membership remained the same this year and our officers were Pres.-Don S., Vice Pres.-Barbara C.. Secretary -Ramona W., Treasurer-Elizabeth B., News Reporter -Richard A. We began our final year minus Bob McFarren, Sue Ifer, Janet Banter, Floyd Harshman, and Kay Kirk- wood. In our senior year, we sold Christmas cards and candy, gave a Valentine Dance, and presented the play Feudin' Over Yonder. For all of us, this year has been the most exciting, fastest moving year of all. We will not remember however, the fall of '54 as the beginning and the springof '58 as the end. Instead, we will remember the good times between these two important dates, as we recall our high school days at P.l-LS, 16
