SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS President, L. Laedleing Secretary, J. Smithg Vice President, W. Pekarekg Treasurer, P. Bracco CLASS 0F 1957 FRESHMEN 1953-54 We had finally found our way around Plum High School by the time we were freshmen. Fred Hartman, as president, proved himself an able leader in planning, with the help of William Pekarek, vice-president, and Judy Myers, sec- retary, our first skating party and a dance. SOPHOMORES 1954-55 As sophomores, we were beginning to work harder and harder for our coming prom. Our officers, Kathryn Brooke, president, Mary Jane Kozusko, vice-president, and Ruth Truax, sec- retary, did a fine job. A money-making project, selling autograph books, was quite successful, as well as another dance and skating party. JUNIORS 1955-56 This our junior year was one of much hard work and planning by our officers, Louise Laed- lein, president, Paul Patla, vice-presidentg and Judy Myers, secretary. Our play, Two Minutes To Go , made front-page headlines, and 'Lolli- pop Day' was a huge success. We held the Junior- Senior Prom at Hillcrest Country Club with the music of Tommy Carlyn's orchestra ending our never-to-be-forgotten junior year. ' 'w- . i 4 . SENIORS 1956-57 Finally we began editing the last page of our newspaper in this our senior year with officers Louise Laedlein, presidentg William Pekarek, vice-president, Janyce Smith, secretary, and Paul Bracco, treasurer. Our profits on a skat- ing party, dance, name cards, and other money making projects added to our treasury. Along with our Sadie Hawkins Dance , we initiated 'Tramp Day' in which the whole school participated. Our play, Cupid ln Pigtails , and the 'Coronation Ball' were both big successes, Our newspaper's last articles were, of course, about the senior banquet at the Holiday House and the Washington trip. We, the graduating class of 1957, have many wonderful memories of our years at Plum High School as we leave its familiar halls. -Q.
