Class of '57
 Our class did well scholastically (2 valedictorians), and excelled in sports. Hugh won the pole vault at State Indoor
Track Meet. 5 boys and 5 girls played basketball as seniors. High scored 475 points and Myrna 600 points for scoring honors.
Mary Sue, Mary Jane M., Myrna and Sue were starters on the State Tourney teams in '54 and '57, Sue receiving 1st team honors
as a guard. But more important, we all worked well together on our projects and had lots of fun. The highlight was
our trip to Washington, D.C. We raised $1159.34 our 4 years of H.S. and this financed a 5 day trip for 15 people!
Thanks, Tingley, for being our home town and for all the great memories we share.
Class of '57 Motto ~ Striving
for Success.
