SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In 1952. we entered Wheatfield High School with sixty-six members. With Mr. Shreve as our sponsor, we elected Arthur Savich, president; Barbara Terpstra, vice-president; James Osborn, secretary; Betty Bowen, treasurer; and Mary Grube and Robert Hershman, senators. Barbara Terpstra was our choice for carnival queen. Our sophomore year started with Mr. Manke as our sponsor. We selected James Osborn, president; Arthur Savich, vice-president; Mary Grube, secretary; Gisela Jacobsma, treasurer; and Ray Sculley and Madge Arnett, senators. At last we had the privilege of selecting our class sweaters. We decided on gray with green letters and trimming. Barbara Terpstra represented our class in the annual contest for carnival queen. The day finally came when we were considered upperclassmen -we were juniors. With Miss Stroup and Miss Lyons as our sponsors, we elected Arthur Savich, president; James Osborn, vice-president; Henry DeBruin, secretary; Gisela Jacobsma, treasurer; and Mary Grube and Richard Cavinder, senators. Immediately we started upon the task of making money. We opened a stand to sell pop and candy dur- ing noons and at ballgames, Doralee Boezeman, our candidate, won the honor of carnival queen We chose our class rings with the design of Lucky Star. We were delighted when our rings arrived on Jan- uary 3. Bolts and Nuts, our class play, was given on April 5 and 6. Our biggest expenditure was our junior -senior prom. We worked laboriously setting the sc ene for our theme, Stairway to the Stars. Our senior year began on September 2. 1955, with Miss Brown and Mr. Ehrick as our sponsors. We selected as officers: Lillian Fulaytar, president; Joyce Tillema. vice-president; Arlene Brown, secre- tary; Doralee Boezeman, treasurer; and Mary Grube and Richard Cavinder. senators. Madge Arnett received the honor of carnival queen. Baccalaureate was held on May 20, and commencement on May 22. With our years in high school ended, we can now look back with pleasant memories and look forward to the future with its new experiences and opportunities. 7?te K yrie6 Uk $ a y
