CLASS III TORY We entered the halls of Sparta High as green little freshmen feeling very very much lost in our spacious surroundings. Oar first objective was a class meeting at which we elected our officers and class sponsors. The officers were: President, Patricia Reister: Vice-President, Nancy Gardner: Secretary, Barbara Scheneman: Treasurer, Kay Kober: the sponsors were Mr. Betchek and Mrs. Sirrine. Qir senators were Janet Stanton, newly elected, and Merle Stark. Money making projects for the year were a scrap drive, selling seat cushions for games, a baby-sitting week, candy and baked goods sales, and sponsoring a dance at the Fun Fest. On March 14 we held our class party, Shamrock Shindig, in the High School gym. We then put our books aside for a surnrner of waiting for our Sophomore year's beginning. When we came back to S.H.S., no longer green freshmen, we held our class meeting. Newly elected officers were: President, Richard Shepard: Vice-President, Merwyn Jacoby: Secretary, Nancy Gardner: Treasurer, Karl Pike: Senator, Ron Klenk. Don Shangle was also elected to senate at a later date. Mr. Tuttle was chosen as a new advisor to replace Mr. Betchek, who was called into the service. Our main money making project this year was selling magazines. Others were selling stationery, cards, baked goods, trojan head pins, nuts, and paper drives. Other points of interest during our Sophomore year were the ordering of our class rings and the class party, Spring Swing. As our second year of high school drew to a close we were preparing ourselves for the next year by deciding to have a nominating committee to select nominees for class officers. When we returned to the halls of S.H.S. we elected by ballot the following class officers: President, Richard Shepard: Vice-President, Phil Barber: Secretary, Nancy Gardner: Treasurer, Karl Pike: Senator, J im Whitehouse. Ready to go to work, we started getting the concession stand ready for the home games. We also had magazine sales, nut sales and pencil sales. Some of the highlights ofthe year were the Junior Play, Men Are Like Streetcars, directed by Mrs. Sirrine. Seniors at last! The year began with the election of officers. We again voted ballot style. Our President was Phil Barber: Vice-President, Jim Whitehouse: Secretary, Nancy Gardner: Treasurer, J ack Scoby: Senator, Ron Plummer. Doughnut sales were the main money making project of our senior year. We also had a work day and sold holly wreaths at Glristmas time. We chose a king, Ron Plummer, and a queen, Arlene Coalter, for the first time in a few years. We presented our senior play, Hillbilly Weddin' . which was a great success. This play was directed by Mrs. Sirrine. We had nominations for the Daughter of the American Revolution Award. Nancy Gardner was chosen as the D.A.R. representative. Our senior pictures were finished by December 17, and we were very happy when our Spartan arrived in May. As we leave the halls of S.H.S. we are full of great expectations as to what the world holds for our future.
