SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We entered high school the year of 1945, with twenty four students in our class. Diane Scott left in October, but we gained Barbara Norton the same month. Diane Scott returned in January, but Florence Marble left us. Our class officers of the year were as follows: President, Edward Thomas; Vice-President, Harold Weischolek; Secretary, Marvin Packard; Treasurer, John Baldwin. One of our main social events was the Freshman initiation given by the Sophomores. We entered in the Halloween Carnival in which we sold candy and bitter-sweet and had a dart game. In our Sophomore year there were twenty students in our class. During the year we lost two which took our class down to eighteen, then we gained one when Jack Michael came. We elected our class officers which were as follows: President, Diane Scott; Vice-President, Stuart Avery; Secretary, Kay Johnson; Treasurer, Eldon McAdams. We chose our student council members which were Nancy Kuehn and Melvin Blackwell. Our one social event for this was the initiation of the Freshmen given by us. For the Halloween Carnival we took first prize on our booth, which we believe was for the great art work of Martha Nantz. As we entered our Junior year there were eighteen of us. Eldon Adams, left before Christmas and Fred Collins came the second semester of school. Much to our regret Martha Nantz left our class in the last part of the Spring term, also Fred Collins. Our class officers were: President, Dorothy Simons; Vice-President, Melvin Blackwell; Secretary, Lois Thomas; Treasurer, Harold Wiescholek. Our student council members were, Marilyn Rogers, and Eldon McAdams. When Eldon left, Harold Wiescholek took his place as student council member. At the Halloween Carnival of this year we had two booths, one at the Guild Hall and the other at the Gym, which we took first prize on. Cur King and Queen for the Carnival was Dorothy Simons, and Melvin Blackwell. The annual Junior and Senior Prom and Banquet was given by us this year, in which we gave on separate nights. We gave our Junior Play in April, the name of our play was Room No. Thirteen.” At long last we entered our Senior year. Our class had only fifteen members. We had fourteen at the first of the year, but we now have Jerome Diamond back with us. Jerome was out of school, because of a heart operation, and we are very glad to have him back with us. Our officers for the year are: President, Harold Wiescholek; Vice-President, Jack Michael; Secretary, Rachel Marie Skudlarick; Treasurer, Charlotte Jones. Our Senior Play was one of the events of our last year in school. The name of our play was The Skeleton Walks.” Mrs. Muriel Hayes was our play director both Junior and Senior years, and we appreciate her assistance very much. Our D.A.R. girl of our class is Lois Thomas. We choose our King and Queen for our Midwinter Carnival, which was Nancy Kuehn and Bill Reimer. Our candidates were winners and reigned over the Carnival. 8
