During our elementary years, l6 new names were added to our class roll. A whole new world was opened to us as we entered the mysterious, terri- fying seventh grade. With our junior high days came 4 new students. We chose as our 7th grade officers: Max Rumple, president, Jack Arthur, vice- president, Barbara Kryter, secretary, and Jim Hill, treasurer. Miss Hester Bland capably guided us through that trying year. Miss Betty Moore spent her first and only year at S. H. S. as our Sth grade sponsor. To serve under her we elected Bill Heinekamp, president, Marilyn Owens, vice-president, John Dryer, secretary, and Carolyn Rice, treasurer. As we stepped through the door into high school, the seniors of '49 were right there to greet us with the ever-dreaded freshman initiation. Scared and tortured though we were, we had enough presence of mind to elect as our capable officers: Dick Stumph, president: John Rikhoff, vice-president, Lor- retta Richards, secretary, Max Rumple, treasurer, and Miss Thelma Stout, sponsor. Our last year as underclassmen was spent under the direction of Margaret Davidson, presidentg Bill Toole, vice-president, Dick Stumph, sec- retary, and Barbara Kryter, treasurer. Acting as faculty supervisor was Mr. Jack Foster. Our upperclassmen years started out just right as our big dramatic produc- tion, Strictly Formal, came and went with a bang. Starlight Time, the dreamy Junior Prom, was also an added attraction to our next-to-the-last year. To top off this most wonderful year, we picked up the bill for a won- derful evening of dancing to Buddy Weber's music at the Severin Hotel. This wonderful reception proved we were wise in selecting George Mayo, president, Dick Jordan, vice-president, Loretta Richards, secretary, Barbara Kryter, treas- urer, and Mr. Louis Trosky, sponsor. Finally it was here--that year for which we had been preparing all during our school life. Our class roll now numbers 56 seniors preparing to become 56 citizens of the world. To serve as our senior officers we chose Dick 'Jordan, president, Carol Pleyte, vice-president, Loretta Richards, secretary, and Bar- bara Kryter, treasurer. Our first official duty of the year was to initiate the incoming freshmen of S. H. S. This was taken care of in grand style, as the frosh proved to be even grander sports 'than we had expected. Our Senior Prom, The Enchanted Garden, and play, Our Miss Brooks, added to the grandness of this, our final year. Thanks to the juniors, we were the honored guests at the Junior-Senior Reception. l-larold Cork's orchestra made the Marott Hotel a very danceable place on the evening of May lO. As we look back upon our school years, what we are going to remember longest are the friends we've made here. Our pals who follow us in graduation will have memories of their own, but none could be sweeter than ours. We may soon be forgotten in Speedway High, but we could never forget our days here, The future graduates of Speedway High have made our stay here very enjoyable. Here's hoping they will remember us as fondly as we will think of them. 1 15 , ----A ----' r- 4
