CLASS HISTORY By Mary Forslund and Bernadel Griffith Class Flower. .. . . White Carnation Class Colors . .. . . Light Blue and White Class Motto. ........ We are the architects of our own future The history of the class of 57 began in 1945 when twenty-six of the current Seniors entered the first grade. Those starry eyed pupils were: Jim Blair, Lyle Bozarth, Mervin Brown, Randall Brown, Nick Chester, Chuck Feris, Walt Keisala, Rich Knight, Duane Lanphear, Duane McDowell, Rich Nehr, David Rhoades, Don Woodward, Marilyn Brianard, Brenda Button, Darlene Dettloff, Mary Forslund, Melly Gregorius, Bernadel Griffith, Annett Hamblen. Marilyn Heldreth, Audrey Kerwood, Lennea Osmanberg, Betty Reijonen, Gerry Tanner, and Judy Zybach. The event anxiously awaited was the move into the new grade school completed in lf95l. Therefore missing it by one year we entered our dream world, the seventh grade. A day off from school was awarded for selling more magazine subscriptions than our older and supposedly wiser school mates. Picnicing and swimrning was enjoyed by all at Ariel Dam. Miss DeGuire and Mr. Sienko accepted the job of advising our class which boasted 68 members. With only S98 to our credit at the beginning of our sophomore year, we set to work with vim and vigor on making money. A S40 coffeemaker was earned by selling one -hundred bottles of vanilla. Pop and candy concessions at football and basketball games, several cake sales and an after-game dance boosted our treasury to over S200 in cash by the close of the school year. Kelly green and white class sweaters were purchased and class rings were ordered in the spring. Due to construction on the new school a junior-senior play Riddle Me Riches , was jointly presented with the class of 56 . The highlight of the year was our junior prom, Stairway to the Stars. The multi-purpose room was decorated with a blue false ceiling and silver stars. Adorning the walls were black silhouettes and a large gold stair- way. Almost seniors we received our first taste of graduation while decorating for our predecessors, the class of n56u. The first project of our senior year was the annual senior ball. The theme Mardi Gras was brought to life by a false ceiling of red, yellow, green, blue and purple with a lighted center piece. Metallic bubbles and black masks added to the gay atmosphere. Senior portraits, cards, and announcements marked the first big step toward graduation. Mr. Hanft measured us for our blue caps and gowns in early March. In mid-April, our class play, Professor How Could You? was the first such to be presented in the new auditorium. May I0 marked the first informal get-together of the class since we were sophomores. A wiener roast was held on the banks of the Columbia River and a dance afterwards was enjoyed in the multi -purpose room. Putting all cares aside May I7 was spent at Mt. Hood on our senior day. The education side of the trip was a tour through the Army Air Base in Portland. Amid tears and smiles we graduated May 31, leaving with many happy memories. ci...
