THIS IS OUR STORY... We, the class of 1957, have been the characters in an interest- ing story. Let’s start at the 7th grade when we were still in the “Pasteboard Paradise.” The first chapter began when we were seventh graders, Fred Teets, President; Walter DeBerry, Vice-President; Barbara Glotfelty, Secretary; and Eddie Fry, Treasurer; were the leading characters of our seventh grade. Eddie Fry was also the runner-up for high salesman in the magazine campaign. We held our class picnic at Weber’s field. We began the second chapter in the eight grade. As eighth graders, we proudly took our positions in our new school building, Southern Garrett County Jr.-Sr. High School. We held the same class officers except Betty Wilson took over Walter’s place as Vice-President. Eddie Fry did better this year in the magazine campaign. He sold $152.30 to tie for high boy salesman. The basketball intramurals found 8-B in the winning spot for the eighth grade. This year we had our class picnic at the Community Ball Park. Our third chapter began in the ninth grade with Sue Deem cap- turing the Presidency. The other officers were Dick Nance, Vice- President; Dorothy Glotfelty, Secretary; and Tom Bittinger, Treasurer. Roberta Sanders did pretty well on the magazine campaign. She was second high salesman in the campaign. Jackie Calhoun was ‘about the only ninth grader to appear in “The Bell of Bagdad.” We were so proud of her. The highlight of this chapter was “April Showers.’ our ninth grade party. We didn’t know whether to act dignified or crazy. We mixed both together to have a real party. John Brown was the master of ceremonies. The tenth grade added another chapter to our story with Jane Duling, President; Jackie Calhoun, Vice-President; Barbara Lu Glot- felty, Secretary; and Libby Dilgard, Treasurer, leading our class as our officers. Football made its debut this year. We had nine players on the team. Charlotte Welch and Doris Lawson were chosen from the sopho- more class to be new senior high cheerleaders. Helen Browning was chosen as substitute. Bob Shiffey had a total of 92 points to lead the Junior Varsity scores. The tenth grade party was the biggest event of our sophomore year. Fred Teets attended a student council conventation at Bladens- burg, Maryland. =e “Pickles” was presented by the Senior Chorus. Many of our class complained of aches because they ate too many pickles! SENIOR STEERING COMMITTEE: Left to Right: Anita Sleeth, Helen Cummings, Betty Shaffer, Modena Rhodes, Sylvia Halsey, Audrey Friend, Walter DeBerry, Dick Nace, Donald Evans, Gary Bittinger, Arthur George. Left to Right: Patty Winters, Secretary; David Otto, Treasurer; Roger DeBerry, Vice-President; Audrey Friend, President. We began our fifth chapter when we entered Southern as juniors. We really had a big job ahead of us. We chose Helen Browning to lead our class as our President. John Brown, Vice-President; Barbara Lu Glotfelty, Secretary; and Patty Winters, Treasurer, were the other officers elected. The Dramatics Club presented “Dear Ruth” with Fred Teets, Freda Cooper, and Norma Alexander and other juniors in the cast. They also took a trip to Pittsburgh to view “Cinerama” and the stage production of “What's the Rush.” Fred Teets was elected as the president for the Student Council for the next year. He had served sas Vice-President all through his junior year. Tom Glotfelty attended a nation wide FFA Convention in Kansas. Intramural champs were the 11-B girls, Sally Wilson, Libby Dil- gard, Helen Martin, Sylvia Halsey, Helen Browning, and Jackie Cal- houn. “Babes In Toyland” was presented by the Senior Chorus. Helen Browning was Contrary Mary and John Brown was an Irish police- man, Jackie Calhoun was Jill and Betty Biser, Charlotte Welch, Roberta Sanders, and Barbara Glotfelty were dancing French Dolls. Suspense, villagers and many other human toys made this operetta a success. The highlight of this year was the prom we gave in honor of the seniors. ‘Cherry Pink and Apple Blosson White’ greeted us as we entered the door. We worked hard for the prom but it was well worth our time. Our final chapter of high school started with our senior year. Audrey Friend was chosen our president, Roger Glotfelty, Vice- President; David Otto, Secretary; and Patty Winters, Treasurer. “Bee Deckman was chosen as football captain. Doris Lawson was editor of the yearbook and captain of the cheerleading squad. , Barbara Glotfelty was head majorette and Secretary of the Stu- dent Council. Fred Teets was Student Council President. 12-A held a mock wedding with Mary Spencer and Kenneth Peck as bride and groom. A very farmal affairl A Student Council convention in Frederick, Maryland, found Fred Teets, William George, Mary Bachtel, and Barbara Glotfelty attend- ing. Charlotte Welch was football queen and Sonny Vetters was King Winter. Barbara Beckman was chosen as FFA Sweetheart. “Clementine,” a play presented by the dramatics club, featured Helen Browning as a football playing tomboy. Her supporting cast included the seniors John Brown, Fred Teets, Mary Spencer, Sandra Evans, Margie Nethkin, Ted Raynovich, and Norma Alexander. Many members of our class participated in the annual band con- cert and senior chorus concerts, also the operetta. Our prom, given to us by the juniors, is one that we will always remember. The awards assembly, senior assembly, senior picnic, and many other activities found us very busy during our last month. Our senior sermon was really something to think about. We have graduated now, but we will always remember these chapters of our story. As we continue our life we'll add many chapters to our story.
