SENIORS PLAN SENIOR BALL LEFT TO RIGHT: Sharon Patterson, Billy Davis, Marilyn Fisher and Mary Lou Ryan. CLASS MOTTO: He who has faith in himself has the power to move forward. September, 1953 seems long ago. There were nine girls and five boys in the Freshman class.(Could this be the reason T.L. and L.C. deserted us for marriage?) We were fresh, green, delighted to climb 26 stairs to the second floor, for this last fete meant we had made the grade. Do you remember when our exuberent spirits led us to eat the Sophomore's candy down in the Home Ec room? I'll never forget the show party. That was the night Marilyn Fisher and Lynn Chadwick stayed all night with a friend without notifying their parents. We were mighty proud that our twins, Shanna and Sharon Patterson, were chosen Yell Queens for the entire student body. In fact, they proved so succesful, we chose them again this year. Advisor Neal Zike tempered our spirits and we settled down(?) under friendly persuasion. Geri Nice was President that year, assisted by Betty Davis, Lynn Chadwick and Tam Lybecker. Our carnival princess Lynn Chadwick, didn't get crowned queen, but we thought she was the prettiest. Sophomores at last, and a chance to inflict initiation on those poor, dumb Frosh. Oh, boy. We missed Betty Lou Davis who moved away. Marilyn Gray left that year too. We felt a need to show that we really had the old school spirit so we sponsored a Sweetheart's Ball. Votes were a penny each, and °hyllis Kirkland and Veryl Harrison were voted queen and king. Mrs. Jean Sutherland advised us while Steve Craig led us. His assistants were Bill Loennig and Shanna Patterson We selected Tam Lybecker as our best-looking girl for the carnival. Johnny Petersen thought so, too, for in the summer of '55 he took her out of circulation for good. Even though we'd subtracted three girls from class, there weren't boys to go around. In the fall of '55 Boyd Tandy joined up; now we were seven to six. This was the year to make money like mad, for we had to pay for the Jr-Sr Prom and Banquet. We chose South of the Border as our theme. Remember the cute sombrero favors? Our superintendent, Marvin Vancil, was our advisor, and Bob Vancil was our President. Other officers included Loren Henderson, Lynn Chadwick and Geri Nice. Pretty Shanna Patterson was carvival princess. Time passed more quickly than we realized. Tam Petersen rejoined us, cheered on by Johnny Junior and Johnny Senior. Also added was a new boy, Lucky Puckett, from Lebanon. The Senior Ball was held in December carrying out the theme of White Christmas (Remember we went in the hole?). Mrs. Erros Osterloh advised the class and Marilyn Fisher was class president. Her assistants were Bill Davis, Sharon Patterson and Mary Lou Ryan. Many parties added fun. We shall long remem- ber the biggest party of all, The Senior Sneak. This has been a journey we shall remember. Many of us will look back longingly, as we look ahead hopefully. CLASS COLORS: Powder blue and white CLASS FLCV ER: White carnation

JUMPING JUNIORS WORK FOR PROFIT It kept Keith Fordice, business manager, really tied up counting green- backs and silver earned by this class to pay for the Junior-Senior banquet and prom. To pay for these two big events, Juniors sold Christmas cards, operated concession booths at games, gave dances, held paid assemblies and sold home-made candy during noon hour. They'll long remember pressing gallons and gallons of cider (especially the first batch which spoiled and went to Fordices' pigs). Marilyn Olsen was Carnival princess. The class advisor was Mrs. Elizabeth Chatwood. Cleoria Carroll Mike Carroll Wilbur Cropp Keith Fordice
