The Scarlet and Black Junior Class At the first class meeting Russell Lecklider was elected presidentgJunior Schultz,vice-presidentgand Alice Mary Eaton, secretary-treasurer. The first event of the year was a masked Ball, which was held October 19. Robert King, Harriet Heath, Hazel Mae Farns- worth, and William Caselton were the members of the committee arranging this affair. On January 26, the annual Hi-Y Dance was held at Kleis School, and Alice Mary Eaton, a junior, was elected queen of the dance. We all remember the good time we had at the J-Hop-Valen- tine Dance which was held on February 15 at Edgewater School, and where Jane Lockwood was selected queen and presented with a crown. ' Then came the annual junior play, '0h, Professor!,' that was presented on March 8. The cast included Jane Weber, Bob Schm1dt,Yvette Ialardeau, Bob Desmond, Irie Jane Sampson, Jud Gaylord, Harriet Heath,Esther Haynes, Virginia Feas, Virginia Hawkins, Russell Lecklider, and Bob King. The last event of the year was the banquet given to the seniors by the juniors. But we are not satisfied as yetg we want to become some- thing still better-'SENIORS.' Page thirty-one

The Scarlet and Black J'U.I1i01' C1835 I sat quietly turning the pages of a book when quite un- expectedly I came to a page that began: 'Once upon a time..' This short phrase threw my memory into the forgotten paste- 'Once upon a time when the Juniors of 1955 were the freshmen of l932.' How well we remember: Our first day of high school when we received our sched- ules and locker combinations. The excitement when Howard Tassel was elected freshman class president. The organizing of the Freshman Science Club, with Joyce Drury, president, Jane Weber, vice-presidentg Yvette Falardeau, secretary, and Dalton Buckley, treasurer. The Science Club party that was held at the home of Eugene Hochstetter, with our charming ex-teacher, Miss Bit- ters, acting as hostess. The freshman party which took place in the school gym- nasium, Thursday, February 6, and the initiation that was ad- ministered to Mr. Merickel, a new member of the faculty, as well as to us 'freshies.' And then, the fall of '32 lminus a few studentsl when we were no longer freshmen, but sophomores. The first step of the sophomore class was to elect Harriet Heath, president, Dalton Buckley, vice-president, and Charlotte Clark, secretary treasurer. We recall the sophomore party, which was a Valentine af- fair, where Mr. and Mrs. Bear, Miss Williams, and Mr. Rohrer, were chaperone, and the committee in charge was composed of William Case1ton,Ruth Horan, Harriet Heath, and Fred Vollmar. The sophomore year was concluded with a class picnic at Ottawa Park. 1934 found us juniors, com only called upper-classmen. Many of our class were now members of some organization, the G.A.A., Hi-Y, Pointer Staff, and some were playing Varsity football or basketball, the dreams of our freshman year come true .

The Scarlet and Black History of Class of 1955 Continued On the next page was an account of the freshman initi- ation. This was perhaps one of the happiest days of the sophomore year, for we inflicted on the innocent freshmen such penalties as we had received in our first year. The remainder of the year passed quickly, and after an enjoyable summer vacation, we returned to school, juniors, glad that at last we were considered upper-classmen. I slowly turned the page beginning the junior year,and gazed into the likenesses of our class officers, who were elected October ll, 1953. Charles Hendee was President,and Davidene Clemens, Vice-President. On the second page was a list of events during our junior year, the most outstanding of which were the junior play, 'The Yellow Shadow,U and the J-Hop. The days and weeks flew swiftly by, and then vacation once more. Seniors! As we entered school the following September, we were filled with the realization of our importance. We organized at once and on the first page of the senior year, were the class officersj Robert Dorrell, President, was ably assisted by Keith Pearson, Vice-President, Ella Ander- sen, Secretaryg and Jack Thompson, Treasurer. Spring vacation arrived the last week in March,and af- ter the short but welcome rest, the seniors returned,fi1led with plans for the final class functions,the first of which was the senior play,nDulcy,' presented May 10.Following the Play and. that been came the Junior-Senior Banquet, an affair of May 16, last but not least, the Prom. We realized with regret this would be our last school dance. And now, commencement, the goal towards which we have working these four, happy years. And as we leave this building tonight,perhaps for the last time, I hope each and every one of the class of 1955 will remember its motto, 'A winner never quits and a quitter never wins.' ----Lois Merryman Page Thirty-two
