SENIOR CLASS ADVISERS Louis Owens, Hilda Skreen, Barbara Jerbert, Karl Decker As the members of the Class of 1951 take their diplomas and go forward into the world, memories of their triumphs, their fun, and their many experi- ences at Puyallup High School pass before them in sharp review. Many remember back to a September day in 1947 when the class first began to take shape with the election of Freshman officers. To them it seems only yesterday that President Joel Heimbigner, Vice President Harriet Cook, Secretary Nancy Turman, and Yell Leader Elaine Chipps were selected to lead the class as it pulled one of the up- sets of 1947 with its victory in the season ticket drive. An even firmer footing was established with the second-place stunt, Sumner's Funeral, and the Freshman Frolic, Daydream, Bubbling with enthusiasm, the '51-ers celebrated their advance to the second rung on the high school ladder in 1948 by capturing first place in the Stunt assembly with Little Red Riding Hood and taking second in the season ticket drive. Using a Mississippi atmosphere they presented their Sophomore Hop, Showboat. Tending to the sophomore executive duties were President Jeanne Peterson, Vice President Joel Heim- bigner, Secretary Shirley Young, and Yell Leader Elaine Chipps. High school life in its fullest began for the group in 1949-50, as they embarked upon their Junior year. Although they were not yet on top, many duties, responsibilities and privileges were theirs. They were finding their places in the various school organizations and clubs, and many of them began to be heard of in athletics, music, art, and other fields. With Bob Crabb taking over the reigns, the class finished second in the season ticket drive and also received number two rating for its stunt, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. All previous Junior Prom attendance records fell in late April when the juniors presented Spring Rhapsody in the Elks Temple, featuring the music of Jim Repp. Assisting President Crabb were Vice President Jimmy Young, Secretary Sharon Reitmeier, and Yell Leader Shirley Young. Then came the big year-the 1950-51 year iust past-when the whole class caught Senior Fever, Their Hands Reach Out For Higher Goals SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Herb Crabtree, yell leader: Jimmy Young, vice president: Bob Crabb, president: Shirley Bell, secretary-treasurer. and achieved tirsts in both the season ticket drive and in the Stunt. Dangerous Dan McGrew was the Stunt theme. December 10 marked another Class of '51 triumph when the Senior Class Play, Laura, played before a full house in the auditorium. Continuing with their successful ventures, the seniors, using a profusion of icicles, presented their Ball, Winter Nocturne, on January 12 at Fruitland Grange. Jim Repp's band again furnished the rhythm. Senior officers were President Bob Crabb, Vice President Jimmy Young, Secretary Shirley Bell, cnd Yell Leaders Shirley Young and Herbert Crabtree. In every field of high school and extra-curricular life and activity, members of the Class of '51 were leaders and achieved enviable records. Many indi- viduals received high honors for outstanding achieve- ments, and brought honor to the class. Frank Lan- caster and Ralph Wiese as All-State football play- ers, Ken Erickson as orator and Youth Governor, Shirley Bell as Girls' Nation delegate, and Elaine Chipps as Daffodil Queen, were among these. However, all of the 222 members made their con- tributions. And so it's good-bye to the members of the Class of '51. Not soon will they forget those research papers, the evenings at the library, the exchanging of pictures and cards, the times at the Rec, the for- mal dances, their favorite teachers, experiences in classes and in the halls. For these things are all part of life at Puyallup High School.
