Joan Denig Senior Class Histor Carefree high school days are drawing to a close for the graduating seniors of '5l. To most of us. it seems a very short time since we sat in the study hall and were labeled Greenies . But Old Father Time has finally caught up with us and we must leave our beloved Alma Mater and all the memories that bind us to it. Our senior year, especially, has been one of excitement and numerous events. ln September, we be- gan by electing class officers. To lead our class we chose Stanley Agler. President, Gene Bagley, Vice- president, Janet Rhodes, Secretaryg and Joan Denig.Treasurer, To prove that our class contains able leadership. we have had many capable presidents of various organizations this past year+Joan Denig, G.A.A.g Mary Olberding, Y-Teens, Jim Jarvis, Hi-YQ Bill Balyeat. Student Council, Philip Price, F.T.A.g Gene Bagley, V-Club, Wfanda Stoller, F.H.A.g Randall Geissler, EFA., David Livingston, National Honor Society, Since our school has always upheld democratic principles we elected our representatives to the stu- dent council. Those whom we chose to represent us were: Bill Balyeat. Stanley Agler. Joanne Edwards. Janet Rhodes. Gene Bagley, Jim Grunden, Jim McCleary, Bob Black and Bob Stepleton. The following girls were chosen to take the D.A.R. Good Citizenship Test-Sue Phillipy, Ann XY'eaver, Jane Pennell. Wfanda Stoller, and Pat Kinsey. One vivacious senior girl, Joanne Edwards, has served our class as cheerleader for the past three years. Wfe have been extremely proud of a member of our class for his success in the Golden Gloves Con- test in Fort XX'ayne and Chicago-Don Bechtol. ln the Senior Scholarship Test, a senior student, Bill Balyeat, scored first in the county.
