Fres li ITIGI1, now seasoned veterans, look forward to another year On September 12, 1955, one hundred seventy-five greenies proudly entered the doors of high school, only to find ourselves com- pletely lost in the confusion of beginning activities. After a few weeks of forgetting locker combinations and room numbers, we settled down to the routine business of school and elected class officers and repre- sentatives to the Student Council. On the reserve basketball team we proudly cheered Jim Bell, Charles Young, Bob Matthias, Rodger Bechtol, Don Beck, Tom Reyn- olds, Larry Holden, Charles Ingman, Gary Patterson, and Carl With- erow. Several of our classmates carried the pigskin for the freshman team and occasionally for the varsity. We chose Sara Drury as our attendant to the Homecoming Queen. We were proud of the many freshmen who were active members of the high school band, and of our three reserve cheerleaders. With all this to our credit, We feel we have taken our first big step on the stairway of higher education, and we are very happy to turn over our job as greenies to the incoming freshman l ' ney on to the sophomore step of V ' c ass as we Jour- an Wert High School. .
