EL DORADQ :freshman Qlllass Zlaisturp N one bright and sunny morning, August 16, to be exact, thirty-three wide- awake and eager individuals appeared at East Lampeter High School to announce themselves as Freshmen. We were known immediately by that name-we wonder why! We had struggled through eight long years to reach this happy goal of our ambition-a High School Education. The Sophomores discovered our sportsmanship when they initiated us into the true ranks of a Freshman. Perhaps they thought we would not respond to their pranks. This we did good-naturedly, however. Not only did our class respond to this type of sport. Vile won many laurels in baseball, which opened the eyes of the upper-classmen to a future group of prized players. With Clay Weaver as catcher, and Donald Spence, Norman Warfel and Kerwin Eisenberger supporting the first baseball team, they won scores for their team and school. Winter came upon us before we realized it, and with it, other things to think about. When basketball games were played on the East Lampeter floor, the audience was surprised to find several of the Freshmen boys on the team. The girls also starred in basketball games. We soon learned that we must organize our class in order to compete with other classes. The following ofhcers were elected: President, Clarence Rohrerg Vice- President, Norman Warfelg Secretary, Dorothea Foose, Treasurer, Amos Good. We tried to look ahead to see our needs, and thought it advisable to charge class dues. At the meeting it was decided to charge ten cents every two weeks for this purpose. Spring is here, and with it comes the promise of new life, new strength, and renewed hopes. We see this history molding itself into a new volume, with the same title, but with new chapters added to it. We look forward to reading this new addition. Behold! the page of Sophomore notes is visible. The Freshman cloak is oHl Sophomore distinction is now necessary. Mistakes may not be as common, blunders will not be as excusableg facts must be mastered, and polish must be applied. Steps are taken that were thought impossible before. Thus, one new chapter is added to the history. Turning the page, behold the Junior comments! A class spirit is stronger felt this year. Athletics are improved, with the added strength from the class. The indi- viduals of the class are learning to lead in their class and school activities. The class hows to the Seniors with a farewell banquet. The Seniors are preparing for college, or their future profession. They have a better grasp on the different subjects of study. The Seniors have formed habits of studying and therefore the studies become easier. They are active in class activities and try to make East Lampeter High a better school. The Seniors set an example for other classes, and try to help them in any way they can. We wish the Seniors success in anything they may take up, after they graduate from East Lampeter High School.
