In the year 1954 we as seventeen green freshmen, confident of ourselves, entered the Raymond High School. We were dis- appointed in high schoolg for when a slight mistake was made, the upper classmen sneeringly remarked, nThey're just green freshmen.n Memories of initiation surpassed all others. We bore with all the possible grace the abuses and insults of the upper classmen. Cheerfully we scrubbed the steps with tooth- brushes and attired ourselves in tacky clothes, for we rea- lized that initiation would be remembered as fun. The fall of 1955 found the same members with the excep- tion of Verda Salee, Caroline Berblinger, and Irene Gibson. Ethel Fassauer and Earl Pelton, who entered the class at the beginning of the term, and Virginia and Josephine Walters, who entered in November, increased the sophomore enrollment to eighteen. The outstanding events of this year was as fol- lows: the giving of a New Year's Eve party for the entire school, and the defeating of the seniors in the interclass basketball tournament. At the beginning of our junior year we lost three stu- dents--Louise Moore, Josephine Walters, and Virginia Walters-- while gaining only one, Agnes Fournier, who has proved a great asset to our class. Byron Bemis left the class during the first part of the year. Later we presented our junior play, uPhantom Bells,n which was well giveng and on April 29, we were hosts to the senior class and the faculty at a banquet given in the Wiley Tea Room at Hutchinson, Kansas. The next, our senior year, was marked by many outstanding events. After serving three years as class president, Harold Burns was re-elected. Our play, nThat Watkins Girl,n present- ed on April 1, was even a bigger success than our junior play. Several parties were given in honor of the seniors. On our Skip Day, May 3, we visited the following places in Wichita: Cudahy Meat Packing Company, Red Star Flour Kill, Fire Depart- ment, Riverside Park, Stephens' Ice Cream Plant, Wichita Bea- con office, Police Department, and the Wichita Municipal Air- port. Although it was raining when we returned home, all felt that the day was well spent. Now, as the year is drawing to a close, we realize that many of us will drift apart, and we may never be together again. On our faces are smiles, but our hearts are full of tears. --C1333 Histgpian
