Freshman Glass History The Freshman Class contained many outstanding personalities this year. Gene Owens and Ralph Tucky Hazelton brought recognition to the class during football season, while Jim Hoover and Gene Owens were steady performers on the basketball quintet. ln the musical field, Jonny Ann Davis, Eugene Linch and Jerry Bartell represented the Freshmen at the District Contest. Eleanore McElwain and Roger Wallingford played the leads in the production Dear Ruth, and Dorothy Sims, Bill Gooch and Eugene Linch appeared in Our Town. Two of the school's attractive drum maiorettes were Freshmen Shirley Putnam and Marlene Pappan. Six Freshmen appeared on the honor roll at the end of the first semester.

Class officers elected September 23 were President, Jerry Kitchen, Vice President, Gene Alwert, Secretary, Shirley Putnam, Treasurer, Delores Taylor, Sergeant-at-arms, Albrt Wright. Sophomore students initiated the Frosh. The uniformsof the day included leans and plaid shirts for the girls, who also wore their hair plastered down with lacquer, and long underwear or girls' clothing, cosmetics included, for the boys. At the initiation party that night, many pranks were played on the defenseless Freshmen. After the ceremonies everyone agreed that the Freshmen were really a part of the student body. On November I3 the Freshmen took their parents back to school for a Back to School evening. The parents attended ten minute classes based on the daily schedule of their sons and daughters. ln each class the teacher explained the aims and objectives of the class. Members of the class entertained the parents at a general assembly preceding the class schedule. After the classes, refreshments were served in the cafeteria. The Back to School party presented a good opportunity for the students, parents and teachers to become better acquainted. In January the Freshmen held a return party for the Sophomores. Ballroom dancing, square dancing and checkers kept most of the students busy. Mr. Fiasco, Mr. Horner, taught the group square dancing. Mr. Davis, Keith Hall and Mr. Boyd provided the music and Mr. Horner called the square dances. 37
