J ffl' jj h. -A january 23, semester exams started, and we Seniors were very delighted, for this would be our last cramming like crazy for tests in the old High School. Ianuary 28, we picked our class colors, motto, and flowers. Such a time, Diary, that we had trying to please everyone. It finally ended that we chose blue and silver for our colors, pink roses for the flowers, and our motto, Upward Forever, Backward Never. Ianuary 30, Shirley Rich won the Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow Contest for our school. February 25, five boys received their basketball jackets. My, they looked handsome! I guess everyone had to admit that we Seniors had the best-looking class. February 26, the Sectional tourney started, and since Mr. Ivy had taken our boys so far in the County we expected to win the Sectional. No, Diary, seriously, we all had great hopes, and we did win our first game, but when we went on to try to beat Concordia, our luck changed. Those terrible refs , of course it couldn't have been our boys! March 7, we picked our play, and this year, with the help of Mrs. Keller, we were going to give a Broadway production, Arsenic and Old Lace. Nine boys and three girls made up the cast. March 28, the Seniors held a surprise birthday party for Mrs. Keller. She was so shocked that we almost created a disaster. April 25-26, the night arrived for the fabulous presentation of Arsenic and Old Lace. Mrs. Keller was such a wonderful director, and the kids performed so marvelously, that all turned out perfectly. Well, Seniors, we've gone through the pages of several years, and you have heard about your experiences. You did have a glorious time despite all the little differences. Now let's look at the present. l'm sure you're all having a glorious time here tonight. The Iuniors have gone to a lot of work for us. l know all of you Seniors will want to thank the Iuniors for the lovely evening which we will remember for years to come. Now the time has come to glimpse into the future. Your Recognition Night will be held May l3, and the Valcdictorian and the Salutatorian will each receive a loving cup, and also the G. C. Henderson winner will be announced. May ll will be your Baccalaureate and Rev. H. Georg will be the speaker. May l7, l95S, will be the biggest night of your school life, the night you've been waiting for for twelve years. Commencement is a night that means much to you, your family, and your friends. Don Odle from Taylor University will be the speaker. May l8, you Seniors leave on your long-awaited trip to Washington and New York, and you get back to Fort Wayne the following Friday. Yes, your school days are finished now, and each of you will be going different directions. Your future lies within you yourself whether you be a success or a failure. But remember, Seniors, always keep your head up, strive for the best things in life, and remember always--take your Heavenly Creator as your lifetime partner, so that when you reach the end of your long walk, you can say, It's been a job well done. 1'Q I.

L May 6, the juniors helped the Seniors in their candlelight baccalaureate services. We all anticipated the next year when we would be in their position. May 13, school was out and we all wished that May 17, 1958, wasn't a whole year off. But we looked forward to our Senior year. 1957 September 5, 1957, found twenty-six Seniors assembled in what was supposed to be a school room. We had lost Larry Carter, Doris Schulenburg, and Bob Killian and we'd gained none. We had chosen Sandy Ertel and Ivan Gerig as our queen and king candidates during the summer, but somehow our queen candidate was lost to the altar, so Ianice Busse was nominated to fill her place. We Seniors didn't make it, but we were very proud of our handsome candidates. The start of the year was so muddled up by remodeling, that school actually didn't start until October. It was very usual to walk through the hall and stumble over a lead pipe, or even get lost among piles of boxes, but add a little humor to these trying times, and you end with a pile of fun. On September 25, we all journeyed to Robert's studio for our Senior pictures. Yes, the day had finally arrivedp now our Senior title seemed more real. October 1, school really started and we elected as our sponsors Mrs. Lois Keller and Mr. Arthur Wilder. We elected officers as follows: President-Sandy Murphy, Vice-President- Steve Breit, Secretary-jim Schumacher, and Treasurer-Karen Roemke. October 17, Sandy was chosen to represent our class for the D.A,R. award. My, we were proud of her. October 28, basketball started, and this year we knew that we were sure to win our games, for you see, four Seniors were of the starting five, and there were even some more players who were valuable, waiting to take over for these tired boys. November 3, the Senior Class was really being well represented this year, for the cheerleaders chosen to keep the team's morale up all came from our class . They were Bruce Yerks, Sandy Murphy, and Karen Roemke. November 27, the Senior Class held a bake sale up at the Marsh Foodliner. Despite the fact that Mr, Weatherman made it rain and snow, the Seniors returned home a little richer. December 10, the big Day arrived, and we received our pictures. The oos and ahs could be heard, and of course everyone wanted a picture. They all thought we were so terribly handsome! December 15, we ordered our name cards and our caps and gowns. Our invitations were picked out. Everyone was getting very anxious for that 17th day of May. December 20, Christmas vacation started, and golly, we got two whole weeks off! After a little party in our home room, we all bid each other a Very Merry Christmas and departed. january 6 we were back from a glorious vacation of two weeks. Ianuary 8, we picked our editor and co-editor of the annual. They were Sandy Murphy and jim Schumacher. Mr. Henney said we needed two bosses , so here they were. Poor kids, they had loads of work ahead of them. january 10, the Seniors received their name cards. My goodness, Diary, everyone loves usp everyone wants our card. This really makes a person feel like a celebrity. January 16, the County Tourney started, and we defeated Elmhurst on the very first try. They thought they had it all sewed up in the bag that they would have a Victory, but we surely surprised them. Then, Diary, we played Arcola and wong and we just kept going until we reached the semi-finals and played Hoagland. Here we stgpped, but we surely were proud of our team and Mr. Ivy, our coach. This is Mr. lvy.'s first year coaching our boys and look what a marvelous job he has done already! Maybe next year we'll take the county. We've got great hopes for next year. We will be out, Diary, but we'll still be backing the team all the way to the final game.
