His assistant is a regular guy, The kind you like to meet: Vern Roberts, you'll all agree Is a friend who can't be beat. Marilyn Kenneday with her high LQ. , Is the bookkeeper for our class: She has many winning ways And is a very likable lass. Next comes the gal who takes the notes, Of everything we say or dog Francie Kamm is liked by everyone, As a friend, she's always true. A bonny lass is Carolyn Moss, Who reports our class news: Of all the places to work in Noonei-'s Drug is the one she'd choose. A real cut-up--lots of fun, Always has something to say: Kayo McCollum was quite the boy As he stole the laughs in our play. Dark eyes and sparkling hair, A friendly disposition: Donna Creasey is the gal who says, To be a housewife is my ambition. Here's a toast to the Breeden twins, They answer by Jerry and Jack: Each is a really swell guy In personality, they do not lack. Sidney Allen is a handsome lad, Likes to drive his hot rod Ford: But when it comes to studying He says, I'm simply bored, Poem Tall and slender is Robert Powell, You can tell him by his walk: And when anyone mentions girls He's never known to balk. In choosing our business managers, Wayne Lovell was one of the men: His favorite sport is basketball, He is rated on the first ten. Loren Larson is a hearty chap, Usually found playing pool: I've heard tell he likes the girls, And certain ones make him drool. A modest member of the class, Helen Stoehr is shy and meek: Upon meeting her on the street She's always sure to speak. Richard Garlick, who likes to talk, In archery, he does quite well: How he manages to hit the bull's eye Is something he'll never tell. Bonnie VanFleet is a nice girl, Never much to say: Always has a smile for everyone, Plans to use her Home Ec. someday Doris Husband, with eyes of brown, Is the hard working kind: She always does her share, too And never seems to mind. Lillian Martin is a quiet lass, Her hair is definitely blonde: She spends her time in Colchester And of boys, she's very fond, Short and sweet is Helen Carter, She's pretty good on skates: Likes the Tennessee Rink best Where, with boys, she really rates As this year draws to a close, We, the Seniors of '53, Will leave the halls of P.H.S. But we'll go down in history. Sponsored By HERMAN CHENOWETI-I M. And M. Sales And Service Macomb, Illinois MARILYN KENNEDAY President Z Treasurer 4 Reporter 1 F.

At the opening of school in 1949, twenty-two green Freshmen gathered in ' the study Hall of Plymouth High School. At last we were in high school. Our class consisted of fourteen boys--Jerry Cookson, Kayo McCollum, Wayne Lovell, Sid Allen, Robert Powell, Jesse Pointer, Jack Breeden, Jerry Breeden, Richard Garlick, LaVerne Roberts, Loren Larson, Benny Waddell, Francis Young, and Rodney Twidwellg eight girls--Marilyn Kenneday, Francie Kamm, Carolyn Moss, Donna Creasey, Lillian Martin, 1 Bonnie VanFleet, Joyce Merrick, and Helen White. Beforethe year was over, however, we had lost Helen White. Our class officers for the Freshmen year were: President--Jerry Cooksongv Vice- President--Kayo McCollum: Secretary--Carolyn Mossg Treasurer--Francie Kammg Reporter--Marilyn Kenneday. The student council representatives were Marilyn Kenneday, Kayo McCollum, and Jerry Cookson. Our class advisors were Thomas Mitchell, Vinita Holman, and Paul Senger. j We had scarcely become adjusted to high school life, when the Juniors gave us a Grand Welcome. We came to school dressed in clothing of all kinds, and had to parade around the study hall. As if this wasn't enough, the Juniors gave us a party that evening in the gym, being generous enough to treat us to refreshments ,of alum, green persimmons, and cat eyes. The entertainment was jumping into tubs of water, getting shocked, etc. September, 1950. In September, 1950, twenty Sophomores were back at Plymouth High. fi?stEemester we were sorry to lose Joyce Merrick who moved to Ohio. In March, Helen Carter joinedsourclass. The first semester started with: President--Marilyn Kennedayg Vice-President--Jerry Cooksong Secretary--Francis Youngg Treasurer--Kayo McCollum: Reporter--Loren Larson. The student council representatives were Marilyn Kenneday, Jerry Cookson, and Kayo McCollum. Mr. Leland Schnake and Mrs. Mariann Metz were our sponsors. The same officers held office the second semester. The most important activity 'of the year was a return party to the Juniors for our initi- ation. We had a Sophomore-Senior hayrack ride which took us to the home of Francie Kamm where we enjoyed a wiener roast before going back to town. We earned money selling pop at basketball games and taking care of the pop machine. September, 1951. When school started last September, twenty-three of the students were Jolly JUHIOIET1-TWC had gained Robert Swisegood, Doris Husband, and Helen Stoehr. We had lost Benny Waddell. Officers were: President--Jerry Cooksong Vice-President--Robert Swisegoodg Secretary--Carolyn Moss, Treasurer--Kayo McCollum: Reporter--Robert Powell. Our class representatives were Carolyn Moss and Loren Larson. Our sponsors were Miss Ada Corzatt and Mr. Paul Senger. Our biggest money schemewas the Curtis magazine sales which was highlighted by a contest between the girls and boys to see who could sell the most magazines. As the girls were the losers, they gave the boys a delicious chili supper in the home economics room. Early in the fall we greatly enjoyed initiating the Freshmen. Were the worms good, Freshmen? ? In December everyone was happy to receive their class rings. Of course, we were all quite proud of them. Two main money makingprojects were the Junior-Senior carnival, and the Junior play. The play was entitled, Peek-a-boo Penny. It was a three-act comedy under the direction of Mr. Roy Lessly. I Tlge Junior-Senior banquet was held at the Durst Bros.

We'll long remember those pleasant days As we journey on in our separate ways. To Mr. Nooner, our principal wise, Who was always ready to sympathize, His kindness and gentleness led us through To closing old doors and opening new. Mrs. Stultz, a very dear friend, On whom everyone sincerely depends, As our secretary she was always there Willing and ready to do her share. And here's a toast to our teachers dear, Who broadened our wisdom and made our minds clear In mathematics, science, literature and all They helped develop our memories small. Jolly Juniors here's wishing good luck to you, You're really a team with competition too, But as we close our high school days We leave you to lead in many ways. Dummies, they call you Sophomore kids, But don't mind that 'cause we think you're the biz In everything you do and say Here's luck to you in every way. And to the Freshies who are small but wise, Who's uncertain feelings they try to disguise, We're sure you'll come out on top, For once you get started you'll never stop. Bus drivers, we think a lot of you Who in all kinds of weather brought us through. The best to the janitors who by their toil Keep our school so free from soil. Again Good-bye to those who stay, And luck to you all in work and play. We hope you'll remember us as years pass on 'Cause we'l1 never forget you 'til days cease to dawn.

F. F. A. The Plymouth F. F. A. makes another step forward. During the past year, our past presi- dent, John Cleland, became Sectional Star Farmer. Another F. F. A. member, Carl VanF1eet, became not only sectional poultry winner, but district winner as well, and competed for state honors. ' The F. F. A. has thirty-four members in school and three associate members, John Cleland, Minor VanBrooker, and Bill Clayton. There are also four honorary members, Roy Copelan, James Lawton, Harold Huey and Nick Thompson. The Plymouth F. F. A. was active in community service as they conducted soil testing, a pest killing contest, milk testing, and the annual scrap paper drive. The vocational agriculture boys have made benches, tool cabinets, decorated the classroom, and shop during the year. Fo money making projects they sold popcorn at the basketball games, sold garden seeds, scrap paper, made hog troughs, and raised some soybeans. ' . Each year we have a parent-son banquet, and either attendlthe International Livestock Show or the National F. F. A. Convention :at Kansas City. This year two car loads of boys attend the National Convention. The boys were active in county and sectional contests and fairs.

The Christmas party was held in the gym December 15, during the noon hour. Be- fore the exchange of gifts, a tumbling exhibition by six of the G. A. A. girls, and a rope jumping exhibition by Eleanor Hopping was presented. On March 19, we had a slumber party in the gym. Everyone bedded down on the floor pretty late, and nobody got much sleep. Other activities in the course of the year included a swimming party at Western College in- door pool, numerous hikes, and an athletic show in the gym in the spring. - Sponsored By PLYMOUTH THEATRE Johnson And Nooner Senior Play E What a shock it was when a hillbilly girl, Charlie, rnistaken for a boy, came to live with Larry Elliott and his aunt, Mrs. Farnham. Charlie was disliked because she was a hillbilly, but she learned to be a lady, and was an attraction for the men. After proposals from Ted I, Hartley, Mortimer Smythe-Kersey and Larry Elliott, she fina11y accepted Larry because he was really the one she loved. This was the situation in Here Comes Charlie, a. three-act comedy, presented by the Senior Class on December 4. Judging from the favorable comments of the public, -this play was a complete success.
