Class History In 1960 we entered Wheatfield High School as freshmen with 69 members Our students came from Kiniman, Gilliam, DeMotte Christian, and graduating members of Wheatfields eighth grade. This was a great change for many of us. With Mr. Helms as our sponsor, we elected the following officers: President, Dennis Risner; Vice President, Carol Oliver; Secretary, Beverly Hale; and Treasurer, Doug Gourley; Senators, Kenneth DeYoung, and Roger Shepherd. In our Sophomore year we were guided by Mr. Collins and Mr. Helms. Our officers for this year were; President, Dan Tillema; Vice President, Boyd Jones; Secretary, Robert Rodriquez, and Treasurer, Beverly Hale. The thrill this year was ordering and receiving our class sweaters. They were charcoal with white trim and red letters. We also chose our rings Star Liner . I, 6 We were very excited to get back to school, our Junior year, be- cause we were to receive our class rings the first week. We were very pleased with them. We started our Junior year with the following officers; President, Bill Misch; Vice President, Glen Jones; Treasurer Diana Myers, and Secretary, Barb Peterson. This year was a very ex- citing one for we gave our play entitled, No More Homework , under the direction of Mr. Walden. This also was our year to give the Prom. It was held in the old gym with the setting UNDER THE MAGNOLIAS . We enrolled 54 students in our Senior year; a record for Wheatfield High School. Our officers were President, Barb Peterson; Vice President Ken DeYoung; Secretary, Betty Meeks; Treasurer Diana Myers. Our caps and gowns were red and white. Our class motto is FOLLOWERS TODAY, LEADERS TOMORROW. We all enjoyed the prom the Juniors gave us. The theme was EVENING IN PARIS . Our class flower was white rose, and our colors were light blue and white. Our sponsors were Mr. Miller and Mrs. Kosta. Our Senior Play was CALLING ALL GIRLS , under the direction of Mr. Walden.

Class Poem A class of most illustrious scholars is that of ' 64 They are all this and much more; So below we shall try to tell The things for which they are known so well. The first on our list is a quiet guy; When first you know him, he seems real shy; But later you ' ll find that he’s real swell. His name, Russell Allen, we all know well. John Anderson is the next in line; We all think he ' s mighty fine. Learning lessons he doesn ' t shun ' Tho he s d rather sleep than do one . Pamela Barker we know by name Every day she ' s always the same. A good, steady worker every day of the week; When she ' s around horses, sne’s at her peak. Fay Bell, our latest Senior faction, For the girls holds a lot of attraction. They think he ' s handsome and, me-oh-my, Everyone around likes this guy. Now here ' s the boy whose name is Merle; He really gives the girls a whirl. A truly good nature nas this Benoit, But he very rarely shows it Now here is one of our tall, lanky boys; When he ' s around, there ' s always noise. He brings laughter wherever he goes ; Everyone around Dave Beirma knows. JoAnne Caldanaro is this girl ' s appellation; With everyone she creates a sensation. With her merry laugh and bright smile; Everyone ' s heart she does beguile. The next Dave on our list is rather shy; He is a quiet, soft-spoken guy. Cambe it ' s hard to get to know. But soon you ' ll find he ' s a fine fellow. Robert Castle, whom we call Crow, ’ Has a knack for being slow ; But people don ' t notice this a bit, Because of his charm and keen wit. There are two girls around this school, Whom everyone thinks are real cool; Lois and Joyce are their names; Identical twins are their fame. They make the honor roll every time. Their personalities are sublime. Because of their bright smiles and friendly grins; Many friends have the Conley twins. Now here’s another Bob on our list; Craig is at times considered a pest; But this is redeemed by his cheery way, Which will make him remembered for many a day. The first DeYoung is named Ken; He ' s one on whom you can depend. He ' s friendly and always ready for fun And is esteemed by everyone. The other DeYoung is named Bill; He ' s a silent person of good will. He has a quiet, winning way with everyone And is also lots of fun. This is the boy called Larry Fricke, Soft-spoken and studious is he; Courteous, polite, thoughtful and kind; A person of his caliber is hard to find. This is the boy we call Stan; When it comes to drawing, he ' s quite a hand. If you have him for a friend, A nelping hand he will extend . His name is Douglas Gourley; He ' s the one always cheerful and friendly. He greets everyone with a sunny smile, For which we ' ll remember him quite a while. - 20 -
