The highlight of our sophomore year was the party we gave for the entire high school. Our junior year was filled with excitement and fun. We sponsored concessions, skru-ball game, book-store, junior play, and the prom. New students enrolling in our class that year were Dick Ruwe and Charles Spencer. The long awaited day came at last-we were seniors! Our new and able sponsor was Miss Myers. We found many new and exciting events in store for us. 0ur main activities were the sale of Christmas cards, the publication of the annual, the senior play, and our graduation exercises. We are now on our way of becoming adults. In years to come we will be looked upon as only a few of the numerous alumni of Pike High School.
