Class History In September of 1962, one hundred twenty Freshmen started out on a Great Adventure. They began by electing Bill Englehardt, President; John Bozarth, Vice President; Jane Ferchow, Secretary; Martha Isaminger, Treasurer; and Richard Lindsay, Student Council Representative. Our sponsors were Miss Evans, Mrs. Guariglia, and Mr. Schrader. The year also began with some newcomers, Sue Koger, Brian Royer, Don Smith, and Harold Richards. We lost no classmates. Our Freshmen float didn’t place at Homecoming, but the experience proved to be an asset in our later years. The second phast of our Great Adventure began with the election of our Sophomore officers. They were Gary Brewer, President; Bill Englehardt, Vice President; Tamra Neal, Secretary; Doug Rice, Treasurer; and Kathy Van Dorn, Student Council Representative. We soon found that good friends like Marlene Dougal and Jim Horath come, but also, good friends--go. We lost Peter Brown, Sharon Russell, Myra Slayton, Delores Watkins, Marcia and Mary Wells, and Sue Koger. Our Homecoming Float, We're Expectin' T'win made up for our Freshman disappointment by placing first. As the excitement of being upperclassmen became a reality, we chose Bill Englehardt, President; Doug Rice, Vice President; Mardena Bridges, Secretary; John Bozarth, Treasurer; and Gary Brewer, Student Council Representative. Our advisors were Mrs. McManus, Miss Hall, and Mr. Schrader. Again we learned to give and take by losing classmates, Marlene Dougal, Sue Halterman, Jeannine Hall, Jim Horath, Roger Kelly, Willard Tattershall, Bill Thomas, Paul Vogel, and Brad Wyatt, and by getting new classmates, Donna Beltz, Bill Cover-stone, Teresa Day, Doris Hatchel, Jesse Melton, and Gerald Waters. Our magazine sales earned for the Seniors and for us a fine prom entitled Un Soir a Paris which was held in the Community Building on May 2, 1965. We had a very successful Junior Class Play, Good Night Ladies, and our thanks go to Miss Weaver for her time and patience in directing this play. This happy year ended with Sharon Marsh being chosen as Girls State Representative and Mardena Bridges as alternate, and John Bozarth as Boys State Representative and Gary Brewer as alternate. At last we found ourselves Seniors and our Great Adventure drawing to an end. Our Senior Class of one hundred five members was led by Janet Wright, President; Jan Jamison, Vice President; Barbara Kappes, Secretary; Lois Kleiss, Treasurer; and Shelia Carlson, Student Council Representative. Our Senior sponsors were Mrs. McManus, Mrs. Patrick, and Mr. Schrader. We gained Jeannine Hall and Shirley Martin, but Nancy Forrester, Linda Callahan, Carol Weber, Gerald Waters, and Jesse Melton had left. The first project was Homecoming. Our float, We're not Chicken--We're Laying For Victory, won first place. It was the third consecutive year that our class won first place in the float competition. Homecoming evening was truly One Enchanted Evening, and was highlighted by our win over Unity and the crowning of John Beatty and Maureen Deaver as Homecoming King and Queen. Our DARand SAR awards went to Mardena Bridges and Gary Brewer. The Senior Class Play, 'Our Town, was directed by Mrs. Motta and it was a big success, as was the Prom given to us by the Juniors, entitled Somewhere Over the Rainbow. We all enjoyed helping with our edition of the TUSCOLIAN which we hope all of you are now enjoying. Our sincere and deepest thanks go to Miss Magnusson and Mrs. Allen for their assistance in the publication of the 1966 TUSCOLIAN. Our final steps were taken on June 3, 1966, at our Commencement Exercises following Baccalaureate on May 29, 1966. Thus the end of our Great Adventure. We are truly grateful to our teachers and the rest of the faculty for their time and patience in helping us through our four difficult, but wonderful years at Tuscola High School.
