In 1956, 65 green freshmen began their ninth year. There were 34 girls and 31 boys, who represented us well in the activities of that year. There were eleven on the honor roll for the first semester, five music contestants, and five playground directors. We elected Jerry Moye, president; Bob Abell, vice president; Bill Garrison, secretary; Mary Beth Brockett, treasurer; and Jane Givens, reporter. When school began in 1957, we found our former class had been reduced to 53 with a total of 25 boys and 28 girls. There were eleven on the honor roll for the first semester, seven music contestants, and three playground directors. We elected Roger Downey, president; Monte Hamilton, vice president; and Kay Dennison, secretary-treas- urer. In 1958, 25 girls and 22 boys began their third year of high school. We elected David Maloney, president; Sheila Kirby, vice president; Kay Dennison, secretary; and Ronnie Abell, treasurer. We were hosts and hostesses to the seniors at a prom with a theme of Dancing in the Park. Eight made the honor roll for the first semester. There were three music contestants and two playground directors. In 1959, we came back to our last year with 22 boys and 22 girls, making a total of 44. Our class elected Ronnie Abell, president; Sheila Kirby, vice president; Kay Dennison, secretary; and David Maloney, treasurer. There were two playground directors.

It consisted of 28 members. Today it numbers 68 members. The training band consists of 42 members, which gives a total of 110 boys and girls in our instrumental program. The band plays for all home basketball games. Memorial Dav services, and other com- munity activities. We are proud of our band and feel it is one of the better bands in this area. A total of 24 beginning students was started this fall - 18 from the Ridgway Schools and 6 from the New Haven School. The Concert band includes students from the 6th through the 12th grade. The training band includes students from the 4th through the 8th grade. Sc tooC (?6 VlCC Left to right. FIRST ROW; Mary Ellen Couser, Peggy Naas. Sue Sanders, Glenda Kauf- man, Cindy Doyle.

This was the start of an enchanting evening that we will never forget. Upon our arrival we were greeted by sounds that were truly music to our ear . All too soon our evening of dancing ended. At midnight a still lively group started for home. When we reached Ridg- way, we enjoyed a double-horror movie at the Strand. At 4:00 a.m., as the sun was rising, we made our way to school. There we enjoyed a hearty breakfast, prepared by several parents. The breakfast ended an eventful occasion. A tired, but happy, group headed homeward. The juniors felt that all their work and effort to make this prom successful was well worth their while. flutti i-SetUo't' ‘P'umi Danny Kline says, Hi What a wonderful evening! ! otHecotnitup ?$60 IDA NELL MITSDARFFER Basketball Queen t£e 2uee t Senior Bob Abell Crowns Queen Ida Nell David Maloney, Escort 2,uee t cuteC ount Left to right, FIRST ROW: Bill Miner, Linda Barger, Darlene Watts, Susan Brockett, Linda Hish, Cathy Vicker, Rex Thompson, Cheryl Cox, Jim Collins.
