Glam .alll The opening day of school in 1938 was a memorable one in the history of the Class of '50, Then these bright faced pupils started their Hrst of twelve short school years. Even at the tender age of six this group was very industrious. The main project the first year was the decoration of the play house which Miss Myers had the shop boys build. The following year this enterprising class became musically inclined. Both rooms had a rhythm band and they had a Xylophone between them. The next few years passed rather uneventfully, much as they do for any class, There were the usual new comers and the ones who moved away. Then came the red letter day when the class of '50 was graduated from the eighth grade. The freshman year in high school was a trying one, but this remarkable class was quick to catch on to the tricks of the trade. The sophomore year-ah, yes, that brings back fond memories never to be forgot- ten! In that year we initiated the freshmen! The junior year was jolly but so busy that the days were almost undistinguishable. Brother Goose was the name of our play, a three-act comedy. Many took part in the operetta, The Pirate's Bridef' This athletically inclined class defeated the seniors and sophomores respectively to win the class basketball tourney. The junior-senior banquet was a rousing success and was followed by a dance and floor show which were sponsored by the parents. The senior year brought with it new responsibilities and many new experiences. The senior play, Just Ducky, was a great success. To wind up their school career the class of ,SO took a boat trip to Niagara Falls. Next on the program was the junior- senior banquet. The baccalaureate services were held in the Christian Church on May 21. Last but certainly not the least was the long awaited day--graduation! Thus after twelve years of hard work interspersed with good times, another senior class marches from the portals of A. H. S. -BILL RADCLIFFE JACK BLEDSOE Page Twenty three

UW: June When we, the seniors of '50, first started to school twelve years ago, Miss Myers helped us build the play house, which now stands in the first grade room and pro- vides pleasure for all the young hopefuls starting to school. Jim Shank designed the wall paper and Susie Lemley, the window curtains. Denny Druckamiller, Bill Radcliffe and Susie Lemley drew original pictures. Everyone helped paint, make wall paper, and do work on the mural and border. Among the many memories taken with us from our school days the thought of Hour play house will be outstanding.
