LOOKING BACKWARD August 29, 1955, was bright and sunny and spirits were high. It was the first day of a new chapter in the lives of 44 freshmen. The class roll included: Roy, Jerry, Darlene B., Sharon Blossom, Art, Leonard Browning, Carolyn, John E. . Jack Fatz, Lynn, Max- ine and Linda, Patty, Gwen, Emily, Mary Jean Ivey, Margaret, Fred K, , Mel, JoAnne, Darrel Lancaster, Fred L. , Roy Link, Joey, Wes Lords, Karen Maney, Charlie, Karen Murdoch, Carol, Donnamae, Rose, Ray, Nancy, Diana, Shirley, Evelyn, Violet Sol- seng, Hazel, Louella, Fay, Charles, Darlene W. , Gary, and Lawrence. Chosen to lead the class that year were Joey as President, Fred L. as Vice President, and Fay as Secretary-Treasurer, with Mr. Spangler as sponsor. As freshmen, we learned how much we could get away with in music class before the redhead lost her temper, and in Gen- eral Science, we learned how to ward off those tests. A bang and a picnic at the river closed the first chapter of our high school days. ln the fall of '56, we learned we had lost Art, Leonard, Jack, and Wes, but Gay, Crystal Richardson, Wanda, and Zelma Lashway came, making a total of 44. This year We gave the incoming freshmen an initiation to end all - complete with a Kangaroo Court and the dance that we sponsored. Class officers elected were: Charles, President, Gay, Vice President, and Shirley, Secretary-Treasurer, with Don Rose and Miss Goodwin as co-sponsors. In geometry class there were such individuals as Charlie Smith, Kem- tone, Sas, and B-jerk, and as a whole we became Yahoo's and Knotheads. In history, EVERYONE learned to write! ! Parties and dances sprinkled through our sophomore year relieved the pain of going to school. A picnic also ended this year, and we were halfway to our goal as graduates. We were finally upperclassmen! We found that -Darrel, Roy, Violet, and Crystal had left us, but Myrna, Bill, Johnny, Art, and Barbara Hoisington filled the vacancies mak- ing a final count of 45. Bill Aubert and Jack Hane co-sponsored our class led by Fay, President, Roy, Vice President, and Hazel, Secretary-Treasurer. Play practice turned out the masterpiece, Hessie of the Hills, with Diana, Hazel, and Jerry in the leading roles. Playing hide and seek in cars was fun fwasn't it Gay, Fred L. , Charles, and Fay'?J, but remember where our chicken dinner feast for the last play practice meal came from? They shoot horse thieves and rustlers. . . wonder what happens to. . . oh, welll Say, does anyone know what was REALLY in that jug?? l l I Then came the Prom - and the 'differ- ences of opinion which made our Junior class famous for infamousj, In the setting of a medieval castle, Connie Rae Robbins was crowned queen with Dorothy Lynes and Donnie Jacobsen as attendants. In quick succession we put on the Junior-Senior Banquet for the seniors and presented them all with gifts on Class Night. The State Track Meet, picnics, etc. Cwe won't go into that etclj closed the third chapter in our high school days. September 2, 1958 came finally, ending the last high school summer vacation we'd have. We all took our places as mighty seniors with all the honors that title bestows. Zelma, Barbara, and Mary Jean left, but Donna Arps and Marlene came into our class making a total of 44. Gay, President, Linda, Vice President, and Joey, Secretary-Treasur er were chosen to lead our class with Bill Aubert and Mr. Smith as co-sponsors. We put on a Jailhouse Rock - remember that dance, Roger? As we traded pictures and wrote in yearbooks we realized that these were the final pages in the last, wonderful chapter ot life at Simms High,
