 Homecoming was an exciting event for our sophomore class, despite the fact that our flat, Knock 'em Out of Orbit, received only third prize. Elaine Johnson and Larry Spengler served as our attendants to the king and queen of homecoming. Since we had faint visions of one day becoming seniors, we decided to have another fund-raising project. Our Sophomore Night was a real success. Grandma paused and surveyed her attentive audience. Well, I have finished half my story. ” Taking another annual, Grandma thumbed through the pages, chuckling as she did so. Our junior year was very exciting. In the first place, we were now upperclassmen. Our officers and student council representatives for the year were Jim McConnell, Carla Schutte, Rose Mary Klingebiel, Benny Kettering. Peggy Krahl.and Tom Olson. Homecoming was once again a highlight of the fall season. Our float, Teach Them a Lesson, took on- ly third prize, but we really enjoyed the bonfire and snakedance. Rose Mary Klingebiel and Bob Docherty were our attendants. During our junior year we made money by running the concession stands. Another highlight of the year was the selection of our class rings. I can still remember how excited I was the day they came. A big moment of the year was our Junior Play, which was directed by Anne Johnson, our English and dramatics teacher. The play. Big Hearted Herbert, was a great success. In May we sponsored the Junior- Senior Prom. I can still remember the oriental theme we used to decorate the gym! Grandma paused, and then a slow smile spread over her face. Now comes the best part of the story, she said. You see, in the fall of 1960 we became almighty seniors! For our big year we elected Benny Kettering, president; Larry Jones, vice-president; Carla Schutte; secretary; and Duane Dawson treasurer. Virgil Kain and Peggy Krahl were chosen for student council. And at last a member of our class. Bob Doug- lass, became student council president. Near the beginning of the year we had the pleasure of initiating the poor freshmen. And when home- coming came along, we were ready. Rose Mary Klingebiel and Mike Hutchins were the homecoming queen and king. Jeanne Sanquist and Chuck Kilcoin were the senior attendants. We thought our float was just great, but unfortunately the judges didn't. Argyles'll Win took third prize. One wintry night in November was a memorable experience for many of us. Our senior class play, The Remarkable Incident At Carson Corners, was a serious dramatic production, the first to be presented atSher- rard High School for many years. During the fall season we had a very successful magazine campaign; and in December we received our senior pictures. The spring of my senior year is somewhat hazy in my memory. So many wonderful things happened! Grandma signed. It was hard to realize that at last we would be leaving Sherrard High School. The Bac- calaureate service was held, and finally it was the night of our Graduation. This was a happy occasion; but yet it was sad. At last we realized that our life as the Class of ’61 had come to an end. The band played the processional, a few inspiring words were spoken, and then our diplomas were presented. And this, said Grandma, is the end of the story. Grandma closed her annual and sighed. Her grandchildren were fast asleep. Written by GARRY CLARKE
