There were 118 of us and boy, were we green. Since none of us had any idea what procedure to use, Mr. Lee called our first meeting. There we elected Miss Royal and Miss Wilson as sponsors, and Bcula Malone, President; Ruth Kellems, Vice-president; and Eddie Pannett, Secretary-treasurer. At a class meeting we chose, after much discussion and many cries of shut up and sit down,” silver and rose as our class colors and At the Foothills Climbing” as our motto. That year four of our boys received varsity letters which is very unusual, but then, we were always an unusual class. Bill Feix, Charles Geene, Charles Northerner received a letter in basketball and Ralph Marchand received one in baseball. Our first year here at T. C. H. S. wasn’t so bad, after the first thirty-six weeks, when we had become adjusted. We had our fun and trouble, but we pulled through with a sigh and a Wait till next year.” We chose Miss Royal and Mr. Fosdick to help us through our Sophomore year. Charles Northerner was elected President; Ruth Kellems, Vice-president; and Bill Feix, Secretary-treasurer. Charles Geene, Carol Maurer, Tony Fischer were elected to the Student Council. We had a party in the band room, and everyone had a swell time. Mr. Fosdick danced with all the girls and kept the party in full swing. After we beat Mt. Vernon in a basketball game, we had a dance to raise money for our class fund. A big crowd came to celebrate the victory. 20

Our second year ended better than our first—but wait—next year we would be upperclassmen. To help us through a most trying year, we chose Miss Ahlf and Mr. Jines as sponsors. There were only 88 of us left. We were important people now, being upper- classmen. We chose Charles Northerner as President; Charles Gcene, Vice-president; and Bill Feix, Secretary-treasurer. Wilma Hauser, Carol Maurer, and Tony Fischer were elected to serve on the Student Council. Early in October we ordered our sweaters and rings. The boys had revcrsable jackets and the girls either red or white sweaters. We sponsored an Amateur Hour, and Junior Carnival besides plenty of dances to help for Junior expenses. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” so after we had all worked to make the carnival a success we had a party. There was free ice cream, sandwiches and cakes for all. Our annual picnic was held at Lincoln City, and everyone had a swell time swim- ming, boating and eating. The highlight of the year was the Junior and Senior Prom at the K of C” home on May 14th. Herbie Hutchinson and his Melodaires furnished the music. Everyone had a wonderful time and all stayed until the last number was played. We were all looking forward now to next year, when we would be Seniors—the aristocrats of high school. There were only 81 ambitious students left when we reached our final year. Charles Northerner was again elected President; Eddie Pannett, Vice-president, and Bill Feix, Secretary-treasurer. Joan Claise, Rosemari Quinkert, Carol Murer, and Tony Fischer were elected to serve on the Student Council. Miss Black and Mr. Thrasher were chosen to guide us through this difficult year. Since we were older and needed more money to carry on our activities, we had a magazine subscription selling campaign and also sold red and white lapel pins for basketball games. Christie Gengelbach headed the Annual Staff which published the third edition of the Sagittarius. We had a Christmas party in the band room, which was all decorated with pine boughs, icicles, and crepe paper. Everyone danced, played games, sang Christmas carols, and ate. Our Senior play, given on April 28th, entitled Let Me Grow Up” was a romantic comedy, and proved very successful. We were almost finished now, with high school, but before we accepted the responsibilities that go with business, we had a gala Class Night program, entitled The Open Road.” The honor of valedictorian was won by Tom Sanders. Dr. Gaston Foote, a Metho- dist Minister from Akron, Ohio, delivered the address for our Commencement exercises. Our high school days are over. Some of us will go on to higher education; others will take their places in the world of business. Only time will tell what the future has in store for us. To the underclassmen we say, Work and study to attain your goal. You will never regret it.” 21
