We've Had Four Wonderful Years Harold and Carol were our magazine sales captains. It was boys against girls. Guess which group lost and had the most fun at the party! CLA SS OFFICERS: Clifford McMeekan, President Richard Clarke, Treasurer James Laktas, Vice- President Lois Frank, Secretary Ioan McLaughlin and Dick Sanders take a moment to wonder what new opportunities lie ahead. 19

The Time of Our Lives The eighth hour of our education was finished. The large old grandfather's clock slowly struck eight in recognition of this fact. Our class was ready to enter Sherrard High School. There were only forty-seven of usp we were a small class. Just as the hand-crafted clock which timed our education was fartsuperior to modern mass-produced timekeepers, we liked to think of ourselves as something special, and we adopted the motto. Quality not quantity. The first stroke of the pendulum in our freshmen year brought the election of officers. We chose Mary Ann Lindburg as our president, Carol Christensen as vice-president, and Gene Lingafelter as secretary-treasurer. We elected Ken Nimrick and Sandra Lovelace as our representatives in the Student Council. The dreaded second stroke brought initiation, but most of our fears were unfounded. We had to wear ridiculous clothing and smelly make-up, but the party the seniors gave us turned out to be fun, and we found out that the upper-classmen were human after all. Homecoming was a memorable time for us as freshmen. Our float, Time for a Victory, appropriately pictured a clock, but due to our inexperience and an untimely rain, we had to settle for Honorable Mention instead of first prize. In the Home- coming Court we were represented by Lois Frank and Bill Epperly. The clock struck nine and our class began its sophomore year at Sherrard. To lead us in our second year we elected Carol Christensen president, Ken Nimrick vice-president, Pam Lindley secretary, and Sandra Qualls treasurer. To aid in governing the school we chose Lois Frank and Bill Epperly as our representatives in the Student Council. Homecoming was completely successful this year. With the help of a giant cauldron and a little dry ice, our float, We're Ready to Boil the Warriors, captured first prize. After the Warriors were boiled, the Homecoming Dance com- menced. Mary Ann Lindburg and Gene Lingafelter were selected as sophomore attendants. The clock struck ten to signal the end of our first two years of high school and the beginning of our equal period as upper- classmen. We re-elected Carol Christensen as our president: new officers included Sandra Qualls, vice-president, Clifford McMeekan, secretary, and Sandra Lovelace, treasurer. We elected Ken Nimrick vice-president of the Student Councllg Mary Ann Lindburg and Harold Stark were selected as our two representatives to that governing body. Homecoming brought us another first place in the float competition. The theme of our float was Let's Pick'em Off Like Flies. Susan Bloomquist and Ron Krahl served as our attendants at the Homecoming Dance. This year we presented our first play, We Were Young That Year, which was directed by Mrs. Mary Jane Hogue. The night of the first performance brought a major power failure, but in true the show must go on fashion we presented a large portion of the play by the light of candles. During the second performance there was plenty of electricity, and a large crowd viewed our successful show. . The Prom highlighted the end of our junior yearg and after much work, we transformed the gym into our theme, A Little Bit of Heaven. We were sure that the seniors enjoyed themselves as much as we did. The clock struck eleven, signifying the beginning of our last year at Sherrard High School. We were now seniors. respon- sible for setting an example for under-classmen and preparing ourselves for our chosen careers. To guide us in this last. most 20
