Class Histor Let us turn back the clock of time into the deep dark past to see how the mighty class of '55 has matured during its four glorious years in the halls of learning of Smithville High. First as - - FRESHMEN Here we see dimly a crowd of awkward, bashful freshmen entering the doors of Smith- ville High on the first day of school, 1951. Upon closer inspection, we recognize several faces and our .memories of our Freshman year come sharply into focus. The first several weeks were spent in getting acquainted with our new classmates, most of which came from Madisonburg. We also learned to know our new advisor, Mrs. Murray, better. Our first item of business was to elect our officers which would lead us through the coming year. These competent leaders were chosen: President ------ Roger Ramseyer Vice-President Maxine Sheets Secretary - - Marion Falb Treasurer - - Jim Musser Student Council Bonnie Wagers Gene Kauffman With these leaders behind us We set out to make our mark in history. But not before the Sophomores made their mark on us by initiating us thoroughly in November. We soon recovered from these horrors and settled down to business vowing that next year we would .more than get even for what was done to us. In December we enjoyed ourselves at a skating party held at Madisonburg. We did indeed make an excellent start on our mark in history, Six of our boys participated both in basketball and baseball. The reserve cheerleaders were chosen from our class. In ad- dition many class members were active in music and speech activities, making our first year in high school a very enjoyable and profitable one. Next as - - - SOPHOMORES As we set our clock of time ahead one year and adjust our memories to the Sophomore year We see many new faces. Ah yes, they are our new classmates from Marshallville, whom we soon learned to know quite well. Because of our increased size, two home rooms and two advisors were needed to keep us under control. In addition to Mrs. Murray, we had a new advisor, Mr. Amstutz. Again we elected competent leaders: President ---- Roger Ramseyer Vice-President - Jack Snoddy Secretary - Rowena Garman Treasurer - Bonnie Wagers Student Council Marilyn Shaffer V Gene Kauffman Sergeant at Arms Richard Snyder 19
