RICHARD BENTON 1937-1954 I know not what the future hath Of marvel or surprise, Assured alone that life and death His mercy underlies...............

LOUISE HIERONYMUS Assistant Principal TO THE CLASS OF 1955: You are the first class in Winchester High School that I have known all the time you have been in high school, and it has been a pleasure knowing you and working with you. As a class and as individuals you have many things that you can remember with pride, and I know that as you go on after you have graduated you will do many more things that you can be proud of. After you have left here, you know that I will always be interested in you, and my hope for each of you is that you can have things go as you wish so that you will always get the best. 4 John Allen Faculty MR.

Class officers chosen were Randy Banner president, Peggy Edwards vice president, Gary Rumple secretary, and Janice Harper Student Council member. In the sophomore year they again elected Randy Banner as president. Phebe Lawshe was vice president, Tom Hubble was secretary and treasurer, and Janice Harper served as Student Council representative. By this time several of the class were participating in the band, chorus, and athletics. The junior year began with the selection of the '55 class rings. The magazine sales amounted to $1746 with Nancy Ring and Randy Banner as co-chairmen of the drive. The juniors had the honor of having their candidate Doris Wells chosen as Homecoming queen. An Hawaiian theme was used for the Junior-Senior Prom. The auditorium was filled for the junior class play Three Blind Dates. Class officers for the year were Randy Banner president, Eva Jo McDonald vice president, and Retha Northrop secretary and treasurer. The class sponsors for the first three years were Mr. Corrie and Miss Priest. In the senior year Randy Banner began his fourth year as class president. Gary Rumple was elected vice president, Janice Harper secretary, and Stephen Redshaw treasurer. Student Council members were Eva Jo McDonald and Janice Harper. Miss Priest became the annual adviser while Mr. Corrie and Mrs. Glossop served as class sponsors. During the four years several members dropped out of school. The class suffered its greatest loss through the accidental deaths of Gary Rumple and Richard Benton in November 1954. The senior play, Junior-Senior Prom, Baccalaureate, and Commencement completed the activities of the class of 1955. 10 Seniors GARY HURRELBRINK I Wanta Be Hugged to Death.

The next day the members took part in a marching contest at Macomb, Illinois, in which they placed second. In November an auction and bake sale added $640 to the treasury. They also made $348 by picking up corn. Officers elected for the year were: president Janice Harper, vice president Steve Redshaw, and secretary Gary Rumple. The band motto is: Be at the right place at the right time With the right equipment and the right attitude Warm up! Tune up! Shut up!

The fine coaching of Mr. Rucks and his assistants, Mr. Wilson and Mr. Wallace, made the team a better than average club. Of the forty boys who played football this year there were 16 letter-men of which 11 were seniors. Pat Lashmet had the honor of being named on the All State Team and honorable mention was given to Clem Anders, Tom Hubble, Glendon Smith, Bob Benton, and Steve Redshaw. The freshman-sophomore team won three games and lost two during the season. Many of these underclassmen will be playing varsity ball next year. FOOTBALL SCHEDULE Sept. 17 Winchester 26 Mt.
