THE SE IDB CLASS The years between 1951 and 1955 were four of the most important years in the lives of the Senior Class members. They represented years of hard work and fun, laughter and tears, and exceeding all, they meant the courageous struggle from freshman to senior. We came to school with the firm convic- tion that the world was our oyster, and it took us almost four years to find out that no oyster is of much value unless you master the art of opening it. All Senior Class activities proved successful under the leadership of Iames Hemphill, who was as- sisted by Ronald Marley acting as vice-president. Eileen Vickroy was the official note scribbler, and Oscar Zolbe served as treasurer. Our class had many participants on the football team. They were George Bezek, Vincent De- Frank, Iarnes Hemphill, Ronald Reitz, Ralph Swank, Barry St. Clair, Iohn Weiss, and Tom Williams. Our rousing victory over our arch rival, Ferndale, C25-Ol climaxed a most successful season on the grid- iron. Sparking the varsity basketball team was our sharp-shooting center, George Bezek, and the Babe Ruth's of our class were Ken Beaty, George Bezek, and Iohn Weiss. Oscar Zolbe and Dave Grove showed their athletic prowess by carrying first aid kits while serving as team managers. Not to be slighted, the girls of our class were also very athletically inclined. Outstanding among these were Kathleen Daugherty, Emily Erisman, lane Gallagher, Io Ann Holtzman, Delores Latos, Mary Alice Lawson, Dulcie Mulkey, Loretta Parks, Marcia Salem, Eileen Vickroy, and Marian Wood. Shouting Words of encouragement and leading loyal spectators in cheering with catchy words and energetlc motions were the senior members of the cheerleading squad: Iane Gallagher, captaing Dani- cal Sivits, Eileen Vickroy, and Marian Wood. Heading the twirling exhibitions was the drum majorette, Mary Alice Lawson, and strutting close behind her were the other senior majorettes, Ianet Boring and Ginger Harrigan. For some time We-sty's versions of Einstein have been attending classes and have been per- manent fixtures on the Honor Roll issued by the office. They include Donna Bucan, Barbara Burkett, Barbara Cohen, Kathleen Cunningham, Bob Glosser, Kitty Ann Griffith, Dave Grove, Ronald Huston, Mary Alice Lawson, Howard Picking, Leonard Stept, Ralph Swank, Eileen Vickroy, and Marian Wood. Many activities of Westy were efficiently led by members of the senior class. These include the language clubs headed by Monsieur Walling, Senor Huston, and Herr Picking. The Y-Teens and Hi-Y, guided by Ioanne Casale and Roy Shaffer, exemplified the Golden Rule. Also holding executive posi- tions were Ken Beaty, president of the Biology Club, and Charles Wirtz, president of the Conservation Club. Marian Wood was elected president of the Girls' Athletic Association, and Eileen Vickroy and Letterman Huston held similar positions in the Girls' W Club and Boys' W Club, respectively. Maestro Marshall and Shutterbug Nitzel were also placed on the roster of seniors who capably led Westy's organization as band director and president of the Photo Club. The Student Coljmcll' CLASS OFFICERS-sum Vickroy, secretary: on-af zum probably the most influ- lim Hemphill. president: Ron Marley, me-pmidfni. ential student organiza- tion in the entire school, was led by Marian Wood, and Iane Gallagher re- corded the business of the meetings. The highlight of the so- cial season was the an- nual Christmas dance ap- propriately named The Snow Ball. If the success of a dance is to be deter- mined by a jammed dance floor and fashion- plate girls swirling around with their Beau Brum- mels, then The Snow Ball was a tremendous success. Reigning over the affair and lending the dance a regal air were Queen Ianice Koontz and King Don Irwin.
