We tried to ignore this by participating in as many school activities as we could, such as Girls' Athletic Association, Girls' Intramurals. Y-Teens, Band Concert, Pep Band, Dance Band, Boys' Intramurals, basketball, and football. Soon after the beginning of the year, petitions were flying through the halls, and f h class offi- campaign speeches were being rehearsed. Votes were cast for res man cers and the results were Frank Hall, president: Clete Conley, vice-president: Mary Todd, secretary, and Marie Lesher, treasurer. l Our student council members were Carol Wortman, Brock Swisher, Bernice Beck, and David Hudson. The students who contributed to the football team were Clete Conley, lack Kintz, Paul Sheibley, Roger Siders, Roger Stuckey, Bob Stemen, Frank Hoffman, Brock Swish- er, Pete Ray. and Bill Fellers. Those who went out for basketball were Bob Tucker, Roger Stuckey, lack Kintz, Dale Wisener, Roger Siders, Richard Welker, Paul Sheibley, Bob Stemen, and Brock Swisher. This freshman team won a trophy for being in the finals. Our representative for the G. A. A. cabinet was Arlene Palmer. ' ' h ld. The enter- For the first time in many years, a Freshman Class Party was e tainers were Barbara Smith, Marcia Hickman, Ioan Landis, Pat Kukein, Clete Conley, lack Anspaugh, Roger Siders, and Bob Tucker. Contributing to the Carnival sponsored by the Excalibur staff, we chose Pete Ray and Anita Brockert as our candidates for king and queen. Many freshman helped Mr. Mohr present the Choral Concert and Mr. Wolf pre- sent the Band Concert. Besides all of this, an additional honor was bestowed upon the freshman class. Lynn Leary was one of the state winners of the American Legion Essay Contest. For ' ' ' ' ' terest this he received a trip to Washington, D. C. and other points o in . All this accomplished we are happy to turn over the jobs of being freshmen to the students that will take our place next year, while we journey on as sophomores and confirmed members of Van Wert High School.
