Seniors Reviewing the events of their last year in Sumner High School, the class of 1954 has much to be proud of and much to remember with plea- sure. The first memory of the fall of 1953 is of the campaign the seniors waged to break with tradition and put on their own class dance. The encouragement and enthusiasm shown by the seniors in backing this plan showed decisively their pep and spirit. Although, due to other cir- cumstances, a separate. dance was impossible the seniors are proud of the class unity demonstrated. To help raise funds for the J unior-Senior Ball the seniors sponsored a pep dance after the High- lands football game. This was one of the year's most successful dances and netted approximately S65 for the cause. The dance was the initial step of preparation for the Ball. Committees for the ball began work several weeks in advance. Chairmen and their commit- tees were: Don Standley, doors, Virginia Buch- man, library windows, Doris Salmi, stage, Nor- man Forness, ceiling, Susan Taylor, walls, Mary Lou Johanson, favors, Beverly Lind, patrons and patronessesg Steve Didis, orchestra, and Reita Jackson, publicity. All the efforts of the com- mittees reached the culmination the evening of November 20th. Attending couples danced to the music of Baker's Orchestra in the auditorium, which was transformed into a Rhapsody in Blue. The theme was beautifully carried out from the stage, which took on the appearance of a dram- atic shadowbox, to the library windows, decorated with clever murals in blue and black. The out- side windows were masked by musical bars and notes, while the ceiling of the room was festooned with streamers in muted shades of dark blue, light blue, and white. All agreed this year's ball was one to be long remembered. Highlighting the spring season for the class of '54 was their senior play, Love is In the Air . The three-act comedy was directed by Dorsey Shore and Mrs. Esther Barrong student director was Susan Taylor. The play revolved around a typical American family, the Truits. The Truit children believe their ,parents are no longer as romantic as they should be, and, added to this, Mr. Truit's being the unwilling winner of a jet plane ride, made for many hilarious scenes and a play well received by those attending. Featured in the play, held at the Maplelawn School April 1 and 2, were: Ron Durkee, Pat Lacey, Arlene Spencer, Ten 1426 Wahoo, wahoo, wahoo more! We'1'e the Class of '54 Sandra Stewart, Don Standley, Pat Healey, Hugh Bailey, Larry Roberts, Jan Wiley, Doug Cart- wright, Eleanor Rosario, Bev Lind, Mary Lou Jo- hanson, and Reita Jackson. Serving as promptress was Peggy Jo Pasquier. Serving as class officers during the class of 54's last year in school were: Pat Healey, presi- dent, Reita Jackson, vice-presidentg Charlene Hampton, secretary, Arlene Lehman, treasurer, and Steve Didis, representative to student council. In addition to the above, many other seniors brought fame to their class. As is usual, seniors were active in all phases of school life and many held positions of responsibility, as club officers, members of athletic teams, etc. Some of those playing important roles in their last year were: Roy Caviezel, editor of the Spartan News and manager of the ad staff, Pat Healey, editor of the 1954 Spartan g Vernon Johnson, who received the football Inspiration Award and who also served as mayor of Youth Week. In the P.L.C. Forensics Tournament, Jan Wiley and Norman Forness won first place in debate, and Sandra Stewart received second place in interpretative reading. Jan Wiley, Norman Forness, and Pat' Healey, shared honors at the State Debate Tourna- ment at Pullman. Mary Carlile reigned as queen of the Puyallup Valley Daffodil Festival, and Virginia Buchman was queen of the Sumner Schools' May Day festivities. Winners of the senior awards for 1954 were: Layhue, given to the outstanding senior girl and boy, Joyce Bowers and Pat Healey, who were also valedictorian and salutatorian respectively. Earn- ing the Mitchell Personality Award were Ginger Green and Don Standleyg Hartley Service Award went to Bev Lind and Roy Caviezel, and first winners of the Florence Poole Dollery Integrity Award were Charlene Hampton and Norman Forness. This last award was presented by the class of '54 to Sumner High School in memory of their class advisor, Mrs. Florence Poole Dollery, who is retiring this year after thirty years of service. Also serving as advisor was Mr. Henry Mohoric. The last months of their high school career saw the seniors busy with many preparations for their graduating. These included the Class Day pro- gram, Senior Breakfast, Baccalaureate, and finally Commencement, ending a busy year and a worth- while education.
