Class History ol June, l948 As we sing Alma Mater with tears in our eyes our minds wander back through our school days to when we were Freshmen High School at last was murmured by all of us. We chose our high school courses- Academic, Commercial, or General and started on our way to the top. We weren't noticed and were not allowed to particpate in many school activities. To the joy of all our Sophomore year finally rolled along. Both boys and girls went out for sports and joined clubs. We went to dances and assemblies. We finally got our names in the Shamrock. Our Junior year was upon us. We gave our first dance, the J-Hop. Our Junior Play Bobby Sox was a great success for a one act play. Later we gave our Junior-Senior all. Before we Party which was enjoyed by knew it our Junior year came to a close. After eleven long years we finally became SENIORS. We chose our class officers: Robert .lune Graduation Reverend Robert Richards opened the graduation program with the invocation. The entire program was student planned with seven students selected from the class to bring the class' message to parents and guests. The motto chosen by the graduates was Knowledge Comes but Wisdom Lingers. To carry out these words, the theme, Chal- lenges to Youth, was subdivided into six topics. The students selected as mentioned above spoke on the following topics. Good Citizenship ........... Anne Richards Youth's Responsibility Toward World Affairs ............. Lee Scott Pursuit of Knowledge ....... Harold Jensen Vocational Challenges ....... Ruth Wellnitz Challenge of Religion in Everyday Life ............ Janice Rue American Homelife ...... Beverly Campbell Coordinator . . . . ...... Bob Stout Stout, Presidentg Beverly Campbell, Vice President, Carmen Cariglia, Treasurer, Janice Munzel, Secretary Then something came which made us feel very proud - our class rings. We worked hard and finally produced our Senior play Love Thy Neighbor . After much discussion we finally chose our class colors Maise and Blue and our class motto Knowledge Comes, Wis- dom Lingers . We gave our Senior Prom and rose early the next day to pack for our senior cruise to Niagara Falls. We were laughed at by all on our Senior Slouch Day and were respected and admired by all on Cap and Gown Day. Then a change came from all the fun - semester exams. But as in the past we passed. Before we knew it, our Banquet and Bac- calaureate services were a part of our past. And now as our Commencement exercises come to a close, we dry our tears and go out into the world to make our place. Program - I948 The caps and gowns and the floral decor- ations brought out their class flower and colors which are: Color .............. Maize and Royal Blue Flower ...................... Camillia Under the direction of Arch Richards and Bernice Conley, the band and glee club played several selections throughout the pro- gram. Mr. Joseph J. Wendt then gave out the diplomas to the lO4 students. There was a ringing in the auditorium as the class sang the Alma Mater and changed their tassels to show that they were pro- claimed graduates. With the help of the following chairmen and their committees, they were able to plan a better and more interesting program: Mar- jorie Coltman, Jean Wester, Marie Marasco, David Hogg, Michael Mondak, Clarence Beardsley.
