01444 We the class of 1954 entered high school September 5, 1950. Due to an enrollment of fifty-nine students we were separated into two sections, both re- porting to Mr. Fleck in room 112. Our class officers were: president, Nancy Espigh, vice president, Lois Stewart, secretary William Dunmire and treasurer, Shirley Campbell. . March 16 proved our ability to have a successful dance. Another social event of the year was a Roller Skating Party which was held at Novak's Skating Rink in Lewistown. Our Sophomore year, 1951-52 found us again in room 112 with Mr. Fleck as our home room teacher. This year our main interest was centered around the thought of our giving a play. We decided to use a double cast on A Date With Judy which was presented March 7 and 8 of 1952. For this term we elected the following officers: president, Ronald Casner, vice president, Stanley Rutherford, secretary, Shirlee Yoder, treasurer, Miriam Dunmire. 132' This year our social events consisteibf a dance to which the entire high school was invited and a roller skating party at Novak's Roller Rink for the mem- bers of our class. September 2, 1952, 45 of us returned to room 112 and Mr. Fleck. This year our officers were: president, Ronald Casner, vice president, William White, secretary, Shirley Casner, treasurer, Marlin Fields. Our class play Comin' Round the Mountain was presented October 17 and 18. The social events were again a dance and a roller skating party which was held this time at the Ballerina. The spring of '53 found us quite busy and excited over the Prom which became a reality May 8. September 1, 1953 when we returned to school for our final year the class enrollment had dropped from fifty-nine in our Freshman year to thirty-nine. Since Mr. Fleck now was high school principal and our dear old room 112 was needed for a bigger class, we Seniors were ushered into room 105 and the capable hands of Mr. Keim. This year our officers were almost the same as the year before: President, Ronald Casner, vice president, Stanley Rutherford, secretary, Shirley Casner, treasurer, Marlin Fields. Our class play Come Out of Your Coma was presented November 20 and 21. The first social event of the year was the Senior Dance October 2.
