SENloR CLASS HISTORY On wobbly knees Z5 pale but intelligent freshmen registered into Terry High School the fall of '50, We suffered throughintroduction and the mighty seniors told us that duringinitiation we were to appear as half man and half woman. We did it too! Friday night we presented a program of singing, skits, magic tricks, and hollow egg throwing. The Freshman Mixer officially ended our term as com- pletely inferior little beings that crawled around THS. We soon received our beau- tiful green and white pennant and presented it to the Senate. It was approved and hidden by the seniors. We found it neatly concealedin a ream of paper in the pap- er cupboard. We were then admitted to the Senate as a live class. We had chosen John Kleis, science ahd shop teacher, as our class advisor. Leroy Haidle was elected president, lone Anderson served as vice-president. Caron Dieruf was elected to the office of secretary-treasurer ,but soon those duties were taken over by Diane Lauer. Ronald Cole and Doris Keller represented us at the Student Council meetings. We presented two one-actplays, Pearls and Mary Comes Home From Col- lege. We raised money during our freshman year by selling at basketball and football games.

We had a very successful project in the form of the Amateur Hour held De- cemberlO. Senior portraits,skip day,Baccalaureate class night and commencernentwere a few more highlights of the year for us. Then we started out in our own individual paths to lead our lives as' adults.
