JUNIOR September fifth, nineteen hundred forty five, found eighty green freshmen wandering hazily through the corridors of St. John Twp. High School. Lacking in experience and confidence, we were badly in need of a sponsor to guide us through our fog. Mr. Jack kindly offered his services, and thus we began our first year at Dyer. We got underway immediately to elect officers for this new group, and the results of the elections proved Lyndon Davis as president, Michael Schaller as vice-president, Eula Mae Scheis-ser as secretary and Eugene Kuhn as treasurer. True to tradition, we had a class party and, of course, it turned out to be quite a success. On returning to Dyer High School for our sophomore year, we learned that we had lost our wonderful sponsor, Mr. Jack, to Arkansas State College. So we chose one just as wonderful and asked Mrs. Hoffman if she would take us under her wing. Election results this year were: President, Don Stark; Vice-President, Alfred Dumbsky; Secretary, Jean Higgins; and Treasurer, Eugene Kuhn. We chose royal blue and white as our colors, and the motto,, The elevator to success is not working; use the stairs . We can't go off HISTORY without telling how super we looked in our class sweaters when they arrived and that we were proud to enter our girls into the Sunshine Society. Thus ends our second year. Coming back to D.H.S. for the third time, we knew of the problems facing us, sc seventy of us assembled. We elected the important officers for this important year. James Beasley was elected president, John Mika our vice-president, Betty Ferrell our secretary, and again, for the third year, we elected Eugene Kuhn as our treasurer. Like all junior classes before us our prime concern was to earn money to entertain the seniors. Our money making projects were sock hops, candy sales, and half share in the work and profits of the Junior-Senior Carnival. (The girls took the Basketball Toumie this year.) Now that we had sufficient funds, we held our banquet at Tiebel's Restaurant on March 15, and our long-awaited prom at the Crystal Ballroom in Gary, Indiana. This ends our third year at Dyer vr'h only one more to go. So we say Adios - -until next year. Page 29
