U! Class Histor When the school term opened in 1953, our class numbered thirty-six. Class officers were: Tony Shampoe-Pres., warren Johnson-VicePres., Joanne Berg-Sec., Phyllis Pringle-Treas., Connie Kent-Reporter. lt was our first year of Senior high, and we were initiated by the Sopho- mores. We wore silly clothes to school and were throughly covered with lipstick at the end of each day. It was in that year that there first was talk of a new school, and ru- mors that our precious little town would be flooded were disturbing. we had several hayrides, skating parties and other activities, and al- so contributed toward the cheerleading squad and basketball team. with the opening of the fall term in '54, several students, including Clifford Pye, Ed Moore, Rusell Stevenson and Don laquith had moved. so the enrollment had decreased to thirty-four. The class officers that year were Jack Zimrner-Pres., Susie Pringle-Vice Pres., Ioann Bliley- Sec., Alice More-Treas., and Warren Johnson-Reporter. The plans for the new school were progressing favorably, but our first great dis- appointment came when the initiation of freshman was disallowed. However, as consolation, our reward was a trip to view a movie at Dipson's Plaza. A box social and scavenger hunt were our first ac- tivities that year, and did we have fun! A rninstrel show in assembly was well received and we were asked to repeat our performance at PTA to which we readily acquiesced. Beginning our Junior year in 1955, several new pupils were enrolled, others also left, leaving a class of thirty-nine members. John Bartlett, Barbara Maynard, John Bush, Donna Rafferty, and warren Johnson did not re-enter. Personable Kenny Burlingham who had a way of mak- ing everyone's day a happy one did not return, and we missed this humor and fun. The officers were Joe Weaver-Pres., Mary Ann Morvay-V.P., Io- anne Berg-Sec., Audrey Kosac-Treas., Susie Pringle-Reporter. Sev- eral of our boys were still making good on the basketball team, while two of our girls served on the cheerleading squad. During the early fall the hay rides were cold ones, and reminded us of sleigh rides. The Jtmior year was a busy one as we were responsible for the Prom and Banquet. Dinners, dances, skating parties constituted our chief activities. Our Junior play was a great success and much of the credit goes to Mr. Rouse. The banquet was held at Howard Ioh.nson's restaurant in Erie and was a successful one. The Gym was beautifully decorated for our Prom, the theme of which was 'Rhapsody in Blue. Kathleen Flaugh was crowned queen of the ball. Planning for our Washington trip, to which the seniors had invited us, was much fun. It had been quiet a task to save the necessary funds for the trip, but the enjoyment we received from it was well worth it! Susie Pringle was voted the Cher- ry Pie champion! Opening of the '56 fall term was delayed until the end of Septem- ber, due to construction of the new building, into which we moved on September 24. Elected as class officers were lack Zimmer-Pres., David Hubbell-V.P.. Pat Graczyk-Sec., Sue Post-Treas., Ioe weaver- Reporter. P The use of the new building resulted in many changes, and increased the size of classes. Two of our girls are members of the cheerleading squad and several of the boys were outstanding players on the basketball team. Ed Sayban distinguished himself with fine team play, as well as Tony Shampoe and Louis Folmer. It has been a very busy year for us, having sponsored two dances, our class play, and other activities which are on the schedule. Very soon we shall be walking down the aisle in our graduation gowns. Several girls shall also be walking down the aisle to say, I do. We have had our ups and downs, yet the twelve past years have been wonderful ones. We wish to thank each and everyteacher for the important role they have played in our lives. We take our leave with the best of wishes to all. '
