51455 HIS !'01W Hickory - dickory - dock The mouse ran up the clock The clock struck one -and the largest Freshman class in the history of South High gathered for its first class meeting. Mrs. Marion Kelleher was our advisor for that year, and we wasted no time in electing our officers. Iames Klausner was voted to lead the group as President: David Walker was cho- sen ior Vice-President: Roger Hamlin, secretary: and Lynn Osburg, Class Treasurer. We worked hard that year on money-making activities which we coupled with school dances-the main feature- Hillbilly Teen Hop. The Syncopated Six consisting of Nancy Gillman, Edmund Cridge, Dick Nichol- son, Lynda Sherman, Gary Stevens, and Roger Hamlin furnished the music. We sold cards and closed the year feeling very wealthy indeed. The clock struck two -Sophomores! We found ourselves with two new advisors, Messrs. Roscoe Baker and Iudson Walker. We soon elected our class officers: President, David Walker: Vice President, David Koborg Sec- retary, Lynda Sherman: and we gave the job of holding our money to Lynn Osburg for the second time. During that year we sold candy and highlighted the season with the Winter Wonderland Dance and Sophomore Hop. The year passed quickly and soon we heard- The clock strike three -Like our predecessors, we felt pretty big and very important as upperclassmen. A new advisor had been appointed and Mrs. Evelyn Stewart called our first lunior Class meeting early in September. Ray Prouty was elected to the Presidency: Gladys Sage, Vice'Presidentp Iudy En- sminger, Secretary: and for the third time-Lynn Osburg was given charge of the money bags. We had only one important money-making project that year, the magazine drive, but we were very busy in our social activities. We underwent the pleasant ordeal of selecting our class rings and then came the Iunior Play, Ienny Kissed Me. 5

Then-our very own prom. We used as our theme Stairway To The Stars. We all worked hard to make this a prom of proms. Betty Shaw was chosen our Queen, and a regal Queen she made. For the first time in our school, a king was crowned. David Kobor occupied the seat of honor, and Betty and Dave reigned for the evening. Soon we were busy on our class banner. We had already chosen our class flower-the red carnationg our class colors-red and gray: and our class motto- We Study That We May Serve. With this in mind, we designed our banner, and were not surprised when it was voted the number one banner on the school's first Moving Up Day. All too soon, however, exams were scheduled and our Iunior year came to a close. The clock struck four -We waited a long time for the bell to chime out these four strikes. We returned to South High to begin our last year of our high school career with Mrs. Stewart again chosen to advise us, and Mr. An- drew Manz was chosen to assist her. We elected David Kobor our Senior Class President. Iudy Ensminger was to act as Secretary for the second time, and the class funds were placed in the hands of Lynn Osburg for the fourth time. The Senior Play, The Willow And I, directed by Mr. Robert Rose was an outstanding success and the first drama to be presented by South High. The students played to a large house for two nights and the actors and ac- tresses did their director justice. We felt that Broadway itself did not present it better. By this time the Arrowhead was well underway with the advertis- ing department and circulation department completing their assignments. Soon final exams will have come and gone: graduation will be over and our years at South High will become pleasant memories. It seems only yes- terday that our clock of time delivered its first note. The hours have passed as fleeting minutes. We are awakening from a pleasant dream. We are standing on the threshold of the future. The clock struck one - and down he come - Hickory - Dickory - Dock.
