Class History For 51 There were 92 people in our class when we entered the high school building back in l946. XVe were in the basement for our eighth grade year which was our intro- ductory year to high school. Before we lcnew it we had walked the steps to fresh- men, our class adviser that year was Mr. Edwards, and our class officers were: Pres., Margaret VVilsong V. Pres., Stiles Caff- ney, Sec., Betty Paganog Treas., Bichard MacDonald. It was during this year we decided to talte part in activities: foot- ball, basketball, traclt, and baseball, along with girls hoelcey. Then before we knew it our last syl- lable of free time had faded into the past and on September 4, l9-18, we came to class as sophomores. VV e found our adviser was Mrs. Gish, and our officers were: Pres., Steve Gusting V. Pres., Stiles Caff- ney, Sec., Mildred Kramerg Treas., Charles W7olf. It was also during this year we par- ticipated in all sports, both boys and girls alilce. VVe also tools part in other activi- ties, such as the Bazaar, Christmas Pageant, Qperetta, Band Concert, class party, as- semblies, and student council. VVe closed the year with many unforgettable memo- ries, only to find ourselves a bit more adult as Iuniors. We began our year by choos- ing class officers: Pres., lack Trainog V.- Pres., Margaret YVilson: Sec., Ioan Hind- ermyerg Treas., Charles Wfolf, with our class adviser, Mr. Edwards. Being as active as any other junior class, we tools part in many other activities, such as chorus, Ir. Historians, Art Club, I-li-Y and Tri-Hi-Y, and the class play, HSaved by the Belief' instructed by Mrs. Gish. Then last but not least came the big climax of our short story. We were full Hedged seniors, 53 in force with Mrs. Smith as our class ad- viser. It was in this year of 5l,' our class chose officers: Pres., lack Traino, V. Pres., Jack Tothg See., Ioan flindermyer, and Treas., Charles Wolf. We had nine out for football, one for field hockey, four for baslcetball, eight for baseball, and five for tracla. VVe worlced hard on the yearbooli and the class play, HlWama's Baby Boy. directed by Mrs. Brown. There was to be no time for play, but being as we are, we found time for a hay ride and class room chatter. Putting aside all the worries of unfinished home worlf, the forgotten loclier liey, or a missing text boolt, we leave be- hind us twelve years of worlc, play, and memories to step into a different class room, the world, and start a new and more complex study. The following historians for the last four years malce possible this class history of H5l,' history. Freshmen year: Bobert Lebog Sophomore and junior years, Keith McKay, and the Senior year, yours truly CClass g HistorianD Kenneth Koller.
