Remember We came to Shannock Valley Senior High in the fall of '53 and found it quite different from the junior High. We overcame our difficulties and soon became a part of the crowd on Initiation Day. That was a Day! Lil Abners and Mamrny Yo- kLuns were seen in all corners. In the evening at the dance, we provided entertainment for the .upperclassmen Settling down to business, we selected class officers: President, Helen Varholag Vice-President, jim Kester, Secretary, Linda Robertson, Treasurer, Donna Hockenberry. We chose the lvhite rose for our class flower and maroon and silver for our colors. Our motto was: Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained. During the year we lost the following students who either left school or moved away: Robert Aikins, Robert Beatty, jean Boarts, Patty,-Boggen, Elizabeth, Chauby, William,Gilhousen, Mildred Klingensmith, Bettx-Kobak, Alda Lloyd, Larry,-Long, Pat- rick McCoy, Marian McCurdy, William McGivern, ElizabetlLMorris, Linda Robertson, Richard,Saxman, Donald Slovinsky, Nadine Snyder, Bernard Spence, Pearline Stewart, and Delore'sKWranich. Thus closed one year at senior high with all looking forward to our junior year and more happy days. ' The summer vacation seemed to fly into autumn, and we once again filed into Shannock Valley Senior High. After the first few weeks of settling down, we selected officers to represent our junior class: President, Joyce Fabian, Vice-President, Francis Hudakg Secretary, Frances Turokg Treasurer, Nancy Moore. We changed our class colors from maroon and silver to blue and white. During the year we had many activities which created fun as well as provided money: stands at the games, our junior play, and a junior lunch. We all worked hard at these affairs to make our junior-Senior Prom the successful, grand event that it was. Another happy day during the year was when we received our class rings. Oh's and ah's filled the halls as we flashed our beringed finger before admiring eyes. The year was a very happy one, but during the nine months we lost Pearl Rairie and Shirley ,Rupg The school term ended with everyone eager for vacation When the bell buzzed on the first day of school in the autumn of our senior year, we were all there prepared for another year of study and fun. During the year Florence Roebuck left school. We lost no time in electing officers: President, Dick McEntireg Vice-President, Joyce Fabian, Secretary, Eleanor Rearick, Treasurer, Helen Varholag His- torian, Pauline Bury. Stands at the games, the senior play- Sittin' Pretty and another money making activity, senior lunch--increased the balance in our treasurer's book. The memory of the beautiful Junior-Senior Prom and our wonderful senior trip, which we all worked for diligently, will always be included in our memorv albums. Baccalaureate and Commencement climazted an eventful year, and we faced the future with our motto - Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained. 112- E J Awiw pig VAYY gghi V A W , ,1'..,. -W .-un .. .

In Miss Koonce's finishing school our attitudes and vocabulary have received their final high school polishing, We have seen a great deal of ink go under the bridge with compositions and class notes increasing the flow. We have met new authors and become familiar with the right way to get a job.
