G. THOMPSON Four years ago our graduating class entered high school. At the same time our school engaged a new principal. We feel that the best way to show our appreciation is to dedicate our yearbook to him. We have found Mr. Thompson very capable both as a principal and a mathe¬ matics teacher. In these four years most of us have gotten to know him quite well and have learned that a teacher can be a friend as well as a teacher. The Senior Class of 1957 do hereby dedicate the 21st volume of The Current to Mr. Thompson. ADMINISTRATION SUPERINTENDENT This is Mr. Ralph E. Brown’s tenth year at Philo High as super¬ intendent. We thank him for his services to the school.

FULWIDER MISS POWELSON MISS MILLIGAN MISS FORBES MISS HIRSCH MR. FAIR Page Six MR. LLOYD CLASS HISTORY Of all the pupils of High School the Seniors are the oldest and the wisest. On this account they are an important and powerful group and exert an uplifting influence over all high school. They are patrons of debate, the drama, oratory, student government, school refoim, and games of stiength and agility. Beyond the session room of the Sen- iorum glitters the Marc Vitae, toward which their eyes are often turned. On September 6, 1953, seventy-five happy, but curious faces entered Philo High School. We were welcomed by the high and mighty seniors with plenty of lipstick. Martha Sherburn and Bob Hunter were elected class presidents. Jean Kramer was chosen reserve cheerleader. Our Freshman attendant was Martha Sheibum. Bob Janusz, David Shipps, Gary Smith, Paul Kelso, Jerry Foster, Orville Fisher, Don Good, Don Benadum, Charles Baker, and„ Ronnie Thomas were on the reserve football team; and George Trainer, Don Benedum, John Baker, Don Good, and Charles Baker represented us in reserve basketball. After our long year of battle and victory we became sophomores. Laura Humphrey, Marilyn Cook, and Martha Moore joined us with Melvin Green, Dixie Frame, Steven Frame, Diana Wagner, John Ribble, Richard Martin, Jerry Hartman, and Nancy Crock not returning, leaving a total of sixty-six in our class. This year was not as unusual as the previous year. Bob Hunter and Nancy Stiles were elected presidents in their respective rooms. Hope Perkins was our Homecoming attendant. Jean Kramer was again chosen Reserve cheer¬ leader. We were represented by Don Good, Don Shep¬ pard, Joe Staley, Gary Smith, Charles Baker, Don Walker, Don Benadum, David Shipps, Ronnie Thom¬ as, Jerry Foster, and Bob Janusz on the reserve football team. The following boys were on the reserve basket¬ ball team: Don Benadum, Gary Smith. George Trainer, Charles Baker, and Don Sheppard. We were represented in the band by eleven members. Don Good, Don Benadum, Edith Thomas, Clara Barker, Don Sheppard, John Paul, Mickey Drake, Clarence Dean, Gayle McCutcheon, Emma Rutter, Mary Rutter, Mrs. Baker, and Martha Moore left us our Junior year while Pat Clever joined us at mid term. Bob Hunter served again as president. Our class rings arrived in September. Hope Perkins and Jean Kramer were our cheer¬ leaders. On March 2. we presented our class play “A Dance with Miss Brooks”, with much success. Our Junior-Senior Banquet held in May at the school, followed by the Prom, was enjoyed by all. Our Senior year started much the same as the others, but we soon found out that it was quite dif¬ ferent; this time we used the lipstick. Norma Brewer, Shelba Confer ,and Marilyn Cook did not return leaving us a total of fifty. For the fourth straight year Bob Hunter was elected president. We presented our Senior Class Play “Father Knows Best” on November 16 with added success. We were represented on the Varsity Football team by Orville Fisher, Jerry Foster, Don Walker, Ronnie Thomas, Bob Janusz. David Shipps, Charles Baker, Gary Smith, and Joe Staley. David Sawyers. Ronnie Thomas, George Train¬ er, and John Baker represented us on the varsity basketball team. Jean Kramer was chosen by the student body to be our Homecoming Queen, with Nancy Finkel and Sandra Israel as the Senior attendants. The Homecoming Dance followed the game. On December 11, the senior class was saddened by the death of Ronnie Thomas who was killed in an automobile accident. Donald Walker left us at midterm. Our Valentine Dance was held February 9 at the Duncan Falls gymnasium with the Tempo Kings providing the music. And thus the year of 1957 ends our four year stay at Philo High School. We are sorry to leave but realize that we have a great task before us. —Jerry Foster George Trainer Bill Trimble Page Eight IN MEMORIAM RONNIE THOMAS In memory of Ronald Gene Thomas who was an outstanding and well liked member of this graduating class of 1957. We were saddened by his sudden death on December 11, 1956. Ronnie’s good sportsmanship, pleas¬ ant personality, and his ability to get along with others will long be remem¬ bered by the pupils of Philo High. His friendly smile will remain always in the hearts of his friends. BOB HUNTER President GEORGE TRAINER Vice-President CLASS OFFICERS DOROTHY DRAKE Secretary MARILYN SWINGLE’ Treasurer MARTHA SHERBURN Ass’t Secretary NANCY LINSCOTT Ass’t Treasurer SENIOR DAYS In our robes we’re finely dressed, Just as memories in our minds are pressed. We laughed and whispered within these walls, And heard the echoes down the halls. Football and basketball were added thrills, We never worried of human ills. Just one big happy family then, Until death came and took a friend. Wiser and stronger now, we leave, It took suffering, but we can’t grieve. So this our farewell parting be, “You were made a part of me” —Nancy Stiles Page Ten SENIORS CHARLES RAYMOND BAKER “Chuck” “At Last!” Football Reserves 1-2, Foot¬ ball Varsity 3-4, Basketball Reserve 1, Basketball Var¬ sity 4, Baseball 2, Band 1- 2-3-4, County Music Contest 2-3, District Contest 1-2-3-4, State Contest 2-3.

A DANCE WITH OUR MISS BROOKS On March 23, 1956, the junior class of Philo High School presented in the school auditorium, the three-act comedy, “A Dance With Our Miss Brooks.” The story: When Miss Brooks (Sandra Hamil¬ ton) puts her mind on going to the school dance with the athletic coach (Gary Smith), and also hopes to wheedle a corsage out of him, things be¬ come complicated. The ladies from the Taxpayers Association show up and find that the money is being wasted on educational fal-las. The night of the dance everything goes hay¬ wire. The coach twists his ankle, the Principal, (Bob Hunter) falls headfirst through the paper moon. In despair, Miss Brooks writes out her resignation, but, in a wonderful finale, the students prove that they really learned resourcefulness and responsibility. The dance is back within its budget and Miss Brooks is happy. Other characters in the play: Miss Marlowe, the home economics teacher, Jo Ann Rittberger; Miss Audubon, the music teacher, Hope Perkins.

Dr. Mech. Dr. class I teaches the fundamental phases of drafting such as the proper use of instruments, geometrical problems, orthographic projection, dimensioning, and sectioning. Some inking also comes in the course. Class II deals with the more advancedphases such as detailing, tracing and blue printing. Architectural and pictoral drawing are taught during the latter part of the second semester. This is a fundamental course in engineering and gives a student a good knowledge of blue print reading.
