DICK HOWARD, Representative JOHN MEISENBACH, President BETTY FIELDING, Secretary LARRY ARGO, Vice-President How short can twelve years be? The graduating class of '54 has many answers for this question. It seems only yesterday that the freshmen chose for their officers President. Sandra Yotsko: Vice President. Joan Jacovich: Secretary. Arlene Atemboski: Repre- sentative. Gary Hodge. During ’51 Charlotte Ranch and Sue Hulett were elected to lead the junior high as cheer leaders. Louise Thieman was elected to represent the freshmen girls in the Girls' Club cabinet. 195 2 found our sophomore class busier than ever. At the beginning of the year they elected their class officers. Those who were chosen to fill the offices were: President. Gary Hodge: Vice President. Roy Demko: Secretary. Louise Thieman: Representative. Ron Barber. Eleven of the sophomores made Honor Society in ’52. and June Pariari was elected secretary. Sandra Yotsko and Charlene Van Hoof were on the Girls’ Club cabinet in their sophomore year. In the field of sports Gene Baker and Gary Hodge earned their letters in football. Dolores Benjamin proved herself as secretary of G.A.A. The sophomores found out that it takes a lot of work and class cooperation to put on a dance. For their sophomore hop they chose Dogpatch Stomp as their theme. Once again, another year was brought to a close with a party at Deep Lake. Finally we re juniors. How anxiously we awaited our senior year. As the year began once again it was time to elect our class leaders. Gary Hodge was again elected as president; Bert Inglin was Vice President: Joyce Osterdahl. Secretary, and George Michal Class Representative. Charlotte Ranch was busy during her junior year, for she was chosen as one of our senior high cheer leaders. Gene Baker and Gary Hodge again were the juniors outstanding athletes. It was time for the Junior-Senior Ball, and once again everyone got in and worked hard to make the dance a success. They decided on Spring Fantasy as their theme. As the junior year grew shorter and shorter their spirits grew higher and higher for they now could see themselves playing the role of seniors. Seniors at last—at the beginning of the year it seemed great. The seniors had confidence in their President. John Meisenbach: Vice President, Larry Argo: Secretary. Betty Fielding: and Representative. Dick Howard: for they knew the officers they had elected were dependable and would run the class affairs to the best of their ability. Gary Hodge has proven his leadership ability by being an excellent Student Body President. Credit is due June Pariari, in whom the girls put their trust to take care of the Girls' Club affairs. Don Winters can always remember when he was elected Honor Society President. The seniors all agreed that the judges made a wise i choice when they chose Jane Oliver and John Meisenbach. king and queen to rule over Homecoming. They also chose Gary Hodge and Clara Gallian as prince and princess. Everyone joins the senior class in congratulating Gene Baker, who was chosen best lineman in the league, and made All-State. He also received the Kiwanis Inspirational Award. The year no more than started when the seniors were taken to Tacoma to have their pictures taken. After the pictures were taken it was calling cards, announcements, fitting for gowns, dance. Senior Cruise, and many others. But now when their last year in school is so dose to being over, they stop and think over all the good times they had. and realize school isn’t as bad as they thought. How did those twelve years go by so quickly?
