The fall of '56 brought about our final year at Sparta. We look back on our four years at Sparta High with fond memories of our fellow classmates, underclassmen, alumni, and teachers. The year of 1953 began our first year at Sparta High with an enrollment of 145 freshmen. To represent our class we chose the following officers: presi- dent, Bob Spinkg vice president, Holly Frye: secretary, Pat Solversong and treasurer, Paul Paden. Carol Webster and Robert Oswald were our Student Council representatives. Then the fall of '54 arrived and we were sophomores. We chose Holly Frye as our president: Dick Trainer, vice presidentg Tom Nichols, treasurer, and Diane Olson, secretary. We had many students representing us in band, chorus, sports, and other organizations. Our Junior year brought about our most exciting year. Our class president was Dale Harrie, vice president, Pat Solversong treasurer, Betty Jenkinsg and secretary, Marilyn Wegner. Our Student Council representatives were Reta I-leyming and Nerine Siekert. The first big event was Homecoming. Carol Webster and Annette Johnson were chosen as queen attendants. At Christmas time we donated Christmas toys and decorations to make a rnerrier Christmas for some needy children in Sparta. Chosen as Girl's State representative was Nerine Siekert. Boy's State .representatives were Dan Mannis, Robert Oswald, and Dale Harrie. On May 18, we sponsored one of the most beautiful proms Sparta High has ever had, with Dale Harrie and Phyllis Davis reigning as King and Queen. Our theme was Cinderella 's Ball . Beautiful decorations made up the ball room. Larry Woodbury furnished the music. Our class gave the school three cheerleaders two of whom served two years. They were, Betty Jenkins, and Roxeen Schroeder. Diane Radde served one year. 5 For our Senior year we chose the following officers: Dale Harrie, presi- dents Robert Oswald, vice presidentg Carolyn Hedrick, secretary, and Wayne Wegner, Ueasurer. Our Student Council representatives were Mary Jacobsen, Pat Solverson, Tom Nichols, Gary Beecher, Bob Spink, and Dick Trainer. Ruth Simonson reigned as our Homecoming Queen. Our class play, DEAR RUTH, under the direction of Mr. Mont Marquette was also a huge success. The announcement of awards brought about our final school day at Sparta High. We shall always have happy memories of our school days here. Our motto was, There is a destiny that makes us brothers: no one goes his way alone. Our colors were blue and white and we had blue and white carnations. Thank you Sparta High from the Class of '5'7. 24 N I' . in, QM, W 'fr 'T JN Robert Oswald Holly Frye Patricia Solverson Boy's State Valedictorian Homemaker Award l few 1 e ,Jw e Daniel Mannis Dale Harrie Boy's State Boy's State, Athletics Award Q Arm' 'N A N -5 i YW 5 Nerine Siekert Mary Jacobsen Paul Ebert Gir1's State, D.A.R.

Our class did not feel the lack of organization so they met and chose as their leaders, Gary Northup as president, Ken Varley as vice president, Carolynn Walters as treasurer, and Betty Blackburn as secretary. With Mr. Magno, Mr. Baum, Mr. Haville, Miss Murphy, Mr. Goetting, and Miss Behrens as our capable advisors, our class has shown its desire to be a success. Our student council representatives are Kathy Lawler, Kathy O'Conne11, Diane Anderson, Roger Mat- son, Dennis Nichols, Shirley Loeffelholz, Sandra Wendorf, and Carolynn Walters. There are also two of the cheerleaders from the Sophomore class. They are Kathy O'Connell and Lana Hasty. Not only in athletics has our class been exceptional but in chorus and band as well. Our homecoming float, 'Banking on Sparta, took second place in the homecoming parade. As the time draws near to the end we feel that we can leave our duties in capable hands. No, our ' b l uickl and surely making the class is no longer sitting quietly in the Sparta High School audience ut s q y controls go to the best of its ability. 40 F05 lfllefl 7.

The Science Club is an organization in which students may take any project relating to science and pursue it to any extent desired. The more basic rules of radio, television and biology may be learned. Along the electronics line simple blue prints are made and you learn how to read them. So far this year we have worked on several different projects. We have also had a series of movies on how oil is obtained and how it is used. Many of the members are working on projects to take to the Eau Claire Science Club Fair. The primary purpose of this organization is to im- prove and protect the health of each child in our school. The members are: Nerine Siekert, Judy Stark, Ronnie Rye, Elaine Curtis, Lynn Burrows, Bonnie Blinn, Yvonne Waldon, Alice Trainer, and Ronnie Peterson. The specific topic was First Aid and the supplemen- tary topic Recreation. Movies, film strips and demon- strations were used to enrich our health projects. Four county-wide meetings were held with Nerine Siekert and Ronnie Rye acting as Sparta High representa- tives. . ew R. Smith, D. Saunders, C. Barlow, D. Schober, D. Jor dan, L. Burrows, G.

Formed by the Sparta Kinanis Club, the Key Club is a non-profit service organization. The ob- jectives ofthe Key Club are: to develope initiative and leadership: to serve the school and the com- munity: to cooperate with the school principal: and to prepare for useful citizenship. Membership is limited to the sophomores, junior, and senior boys only. These boys must be of good character, show ability of leadership, and have a good scholastic average. All prospective members must be okayed by the principal. Officers elected for the school year are as fol- lows: President, Danny Maunis, Vice -Pres. Dale Harrie, Treas. Jim Schlaver, and Sec. Gary Northup. One of the largest fund-raising activities was the printing and selling of a Student Directory, which contained the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of the faculty, Junior, and Senior High students. The Key Club helped out at basketball games, and announced at some. They were actively parti- cipated in the March of Dimes Campaign, raising over one -hundred and fifty dollars. The Key Club serves as the Cilvil Defense link in the school.
