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
