Homeroom 11 3 rT HROUGH THIS our last year at Princeton High, we struggled along under the leader- ship of Mr. Brumm, our guiding light. We elected our officers as Tom Touchdown” Dyke for presi- dent, Jerry' Shock-trooper” Hodge for vice presi- dent, Pat ' Gabby” Hamilton for secretary, and Kay Penny-pincher” Alexander for treasurer. As usual, we had a class joker, and Tom Touch- down” Dyke also held that office for the entire year. Since only the latter proved ever faithful, it was lucky for us we never had to depend on our officers. We, members of a renior homeroom, were the only homeroom in the school to go over the quota in the magazine sales. Under Mr. Brumm s wing, we could accomplish anything—well, almost any- thing. No one seemed to appreciate our homecom- ing float after our working on it for two whole nights, for we didn’t even draw a booby prize. We will all be very sad when we have to leave old Princeton High, and also sorry to leave Mr. Brumm, who did a good job of managing our homeroom, along with his many other duties. As for the rest of the school, we will miss the kids, all of them, even the freshmen. Siccing- Patricia Hamilton, Kay Alexander. Margaret Pottinger. Joan Dane. Beverly Schafer. Bette Halherg.

Homeroom 1 06 VN THE FIRST DAY of school when we stumbled into our zoo (biology lab.), we met for the first time, our keeper, Coach Paul. We had no idea, at first, how lucky we were to get him as our homeroom advisor. Our homeroom float was undoubtedly the best; however, the judges must have been partial for we gained no recognition for our magnificent work. Since it is the custom to mention our home- room officers, we wrill do so here. It took four general elections to elect them, but it certainly proved to be worth the effort. They were: presi- dent, Carroll Gammill; vice president, Connis Kachulis; secretary, Ann Schertz; treasurer, Mar) Lou Fishel. We were one of the four high homerooms in the school’s magazine sales, and our stupendous senior class brought home top honors in that an- nual classic. We tried to co-operate with our class when it came to making money, too. We sold tickets for the play and movie which we spon- sored, and willingly took our turn selling candy and pop at the football and basketball games and at noon. For you who read this, always remember that the class of ”51” was and always will be THE BEST.” Front Row: Paul Sowers. William Brown. Mary Lou Fishel. Marilyn Woolley. Second How : Kenneth Palmer.

We didn't reach our quota in magazine sales; Our float fell apart for lack of nails. Oh, isn’t this the most miserable of all tales? Our first mistake was making Yogi’’ Shook our head man; From his head bad ideas fairly ran. Tom Farrell, our VICE-president, Had his motives as well as ideas, cjuite bent. Our dependable secretary was Ruth Seidel— Her strength” was quite renown; And Butch Batson, our treasurer, Spent our money all over town. Mr. McKinty, our beloved administrator, Could not have kept the bunch straightcr. But gosh! It’s been all in fun; So to our sixteen of the class of ”51 ” Well done, kids, well done!!!” Kneeling: Joseph Shook, Thomas Farrell. Elizabeth Elliott. Ruth Seidel. Virginia Johnson. Vivian Nelson.
