CLASS HISTORY In August of 1955, the Senior Class of 1959, entered TCHS as green freshmen. Many of us anticipated high school, but a few of us were a little fearful. As our leaders we chose Kenny Snyder, President; Jim McCumber, Vice-President; Sibyl Igo, Secretary; Jane Hanson, Treasurer; Janet Abney, Student Council Representative; and Bob Beasley, Annual Staff Member. Mrs. Scott and Mrs. Busse were our class advisers. Our first project as a class was a homecoming float, A Monstrous Victory. which was not too successful. Our class membership was increased when Mary Jane Short joined us. As Sophomores we were a little more confident and began to get into the swing of activities. We elected Bob Beasley, President; Bob Travis, Vice-President; Viola Yoder, Secretary; Judy McCumber, Treasurer; Janet Abney, Student Council Representative as our leaders. Our advisers were Mrs. Johnson and Mr. Schrader. We worked extra hard on our homecoming float, Victory or Bust, to make up for the year before. Some of us were able to show our acting ability in the Freshman-Sophomore play, Brain Storm. Jeanne Alexander was one of our new members. Our Junior year was full of events, excitement, and fun. We were successfully guided by Bob Beasley, President; Jim Mann, Vice-President; Jean Thomas, Secretary; Sibyl Igo, Treasurer; and Janet Abney, Student Council Representative. Our very capable advisers were Miss Dickinson and Mr. But-kovich. Our homecoming float, We Oc-Tu-Pus 'Em Back, tied for third place. We had finally made the grade! In November the whole school had a red letter day. We moved into the new high school with books, desks, and new enthusiasm. The Junior Class Play, Glamour Boy , was presented on December 5, 1957, under the direction of Mrs. Wall. The magazine sale proved quite successful as did all of our fund raising activities. With splendid co-operation from everyone we were able to give one of the nicest Junior-Senior proms TCHS had ever seen. The theme was Southern Ball and as we entered the Community Building on April 26, 1958, we truly stepped into the midst of an old Southern plantation. After an evening of dancing to Billy William's orchestra, we were entertained with a free show and a pre-dawn breakfast. Our Senior year probably will be the most cherished by us. To guide us through our last year we chose Bob Beasley, President; Ronnie Colwell, Vice-President; Virginia Wilson, Secretary; Jane Kellogg, Treasurer; and Janet Abney, Student Council Representative. Our advisers were again Miss Dickinson and Mr. Butkovich. Our football team gained a victory for us against Unity to make Homecoming truly a glorious event with Virginia Wilson and Bob Beasley being chosen queen and king by the student body. Our homecoming float, We’re Expecting A Victory, won second place. The Senior Class Play The Heiress, was given in May under the direction of Mr. Cain. It was an outstanding success. Senior Skip Day also was enjoyed in May. Baccalaureate and Commencement services on May 24 and 26 were a fitting conclusion to our high school days at TCHS. Sue Riddle Jean Thomas
