Other members of the class were: Tillie Arthur, Wayne Frutiger, Edmond Gansmann, Harold Hoenig, Thomas Prange, Mary Raymond, Henry Robards, Robert Schiefer and Wanda Schmidt. At a later meeting the class chose green and white, class colors, gardenia, class flower, Onward and upward to life in the future, class motto. In the late fall of '54, the class was initiated at a party given by the Student Council. We also gave a party for the oncoming Freshmen. We sold candy at the basketball games to raise money.

Miss Bradney was our sponsor once again. We sold soda at the games this year, had charge of two soda machines, picked up corn, gave a Halloween party, and decorated for the Christmas Hop. Our Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom was enjoyed by all who attended. The theme was Fantasyland and much hard work was put into it. And then that long awaited year at last. Seniors! !!
