Senior itycAt Uf, We began high school in the fall of 1962 with 71 of us being initiated by the seniors. Our class officers were President—John Marshall, Vice-President—Gary Wright, Secretary-Treasurer—Larry Rutledge, and Student Council— Jack Myers and Ann Cassidy. The Homecoming attendants were Ann Cassidy and John Marshall. Our faculty sponsors, Mr. and Mrs. John Bailey, guided us in raising money by selling Christmas Cards. Our sophomore year found us under the leadership of Miss Shumack. We selected the following officers: President—Gary Wright, Vice-President—Ann Cassidy, Secretary—Letty Baker, Treasurer—Connie Chenoweth, Student Council—Marilyn DeMott and John Marshall. Our attendants for the Homecoming Dance were Letty Baker and Larry Rutledge. Ann Cassidy and Letty Baker represented our class at all ball games as Junior Varsity cheerleaders. This year our money-making project was the selling of magazines. The officers for our Junior year were as follows: President—Gary Wright, Vice-President —Jack Myers, Secretary-Treasurer—Ann Cassidy, Student Council—Sheila Ritter and Larry Rutledge. Kathy Kessler and John Marshall were our Homecoming attendants. Our class sponsors were Mrs. Horack, Mrs. Holzgraefe, Mrs. Hughes, and Mr. Hunter. The only junior on the Varsity cheerleading squad was Ann Cassidy. We had two money-making activities this year—the basketball concession stands and our class play, Just Ducky, directed by Mrs. Horack. In May, we entertained the seniors at the annual Prom. The chicken dinner was held at the Beehive in Lewistown, Illinois, and the Dance was afterward at the school. The theme, Roman Holiday, was carried out in all the decorations. In our senior year, we elected as officers President—Gary Wright, Vice-President—John Marshall, Secretary-Treasurer—Connie Chenoweth, and Student Council—Ann Cassidy and Robert Fleming. Mrs. Cary, Mr. Inman, and Mr. Buraker were our class advisors. Sylvia France reigned as the Sweetheart Queen this year. The Homecoming King and Queen were John Marshall and Kathy Kessler, and the senior attendants were Letty Baker and Larry Rutledge. Two of the Varsity Cheerleaders were Letty Baker and Ann Cassidy. Ann was also the Track Queen. To raise money for the class trip, we sold light bulbs and received the profits from the football concession stand. Our class play, Boys and Ghouls Together, was a great success and well attended. Our thanks go to the juniors who gave a beautiful Prom carrying the theme Tender Is The Night. The dinner at the Beehive and the dance at the school were greatly appreciated. The juniors selected Ann Cassidy and Keith Engel as the Queen and King for the dance. As a class trip we stayed overnight in Chicago. We saw Russian Adventure, Riverview park, the museums, and stayed at the Palmer House. Our high school years ended with Baccalaureate on May 29, and Commencement on June 3. 22
