(lutUon, 'Ttetoa The Junior Class of 1956-57 started the school year with six girls and eight boys. We met with our sponsor, Mr. Elliott, to elect our class officers and staff for the school newspaper, the Yorkster. We elected Barbara Senneff, President; Eddie Hook, Vice President; Janice Fehler, Secretary; Nancy Spencer, Treasurer; and Donna Haas, Reporter. On the Yorkster staff were Lewis Frosch, Editor; Anita Johnson, Assistant Editor; Nancy Spencer, Barbara Senneff and Donna Haas, Typists; Donna Haas, Art Editor; Ralph Stearns, Humor; and Gene Brearton, Sports Editor. We received our class rings in November. To earn money for the Junior-Senior Prom, the Juniors sold popcorn, pop, gum, and candy bars at the basketball games. The Junior play, Hillbilly Weddin! was presented on April 20, and the Prom was on April 27. The Blue Notes, from Clinton, played for the Prom. We elected our Sand Burr staff for next year. Those selected were: Ed Hook, Editor; Gene Brearton, Co-Editor; Janice Fehler, News Editor; Donna Haas and Nancy Spencer, Art Editors; Lewis Frosch, Sports Editor; and Barbara Senneff, Advertising Manager. In this year of ’56, there is a Junior Class Which has a handful of lads and lasses. Barbara is president of our class, Who is liked by many a lad and lass. Vice President, Ed Hook, elected last fall Seems very lovable and rather tall. Janice Fehler, our Secretary, is always gay and merry. Nancy, our Treasurer, makes dating her pleasure. Donna, our Reporter, who has red hair Goes steady. Well, I declare! Lewis, the Editor of the Yorkster staff Does things correctly -- never just half. Co-Editor Anita, a helper is she --Assisting Lewis, busy as a bee.
