Ilisiorv ok f lass ok '.VI When we entered Willard High as eighth graders, we were completely confused with such rules as one-way traffic on stairways, limited time between periods, and seniors' privilege of leaving the auditorium first. For our first experience in self-govern- ment, we elected Miss Elaine Fenner to guide us. Larry Berberick was elected president. Other officers were Nancy Pennybaker, Rita Weeks, and Pat Secor. Under their leader- ship we sponsored a football and a basketball dance. By the time we had been here a year, we had become more acquainted with the customs and rules. We were beginning to build our treasury, which in several years would become more important. We sold Christmas tree decorations and sponsored the usual dances. Mrs. Dale Crossen was elected advisor and Nancy Pennybaker became our first girl president. She was assisted by Pat Secor, Rita Weeks, and Bill Raible. During our next year, we elected Larry Berberick, Larry Foran, Bill Raible and Alan Smith as the officers. Mr. Donald Wolfe was the advisor. We sponsored dances, held a bake sale, and sold basketball pins and candy. Our first efforts at dramatics came when we presented the one-act play, Junior's Mustache. Our Junior year was our most exciting school year. We chose our motto, To have a friend is to be one; our colors, pink and silver; and our flower, the pink rose. We also received our class rings. Miss Mary Hockenbury was chosen advisor and Larry Foran, Jim Gray, Bill Raible, and Larry Berberick were the officers. We readied the football field and dance floor for Homecoming. Our growing treasury was increased by the sale of Christmas and miscellaneous cards, and football programs. We presented the comedy, Mother Is a Freshman , which starred Marilyn Hatton, Arthur Cok, and Carolyn Scott. The one-act play was The City Slicker and Our Nell. The Junior- Senior Prom, “Cinderella Ball, was the outstanding event of the year. We began our final year by electing Mr. Peter Wiebe our advisor, and Larry Foran, Bob Blinzley, Carolyn Scott, and Jane Bishop to carry out the official functions. As a means to build our treasury, we collected sales tax stamps and sponsored the Chili Supper, which made Life Magazine. We entertained the Juniors at the Senior-Junior Dance and gave a successful Senior Play. Culminating our year at Willard was May 27, when each of us received his diploma. The last activity of the class of '54 was the wonderful days we spent in New York City.
