A, , 1 lx El S12 rw ,UQS SENKHiCLASSIHSTORY Four years ago, while VVorld VVar ll was at its height of ferocity, the class of '47 began its high school career at Elders Ridge. We made our share of usual freshman mistakes, most of them trivial, until some- how when we had finished the year much of the haze had disappeared. Like all sophomores we came back in September 1044, eagerly anticipating seeing the new class of freshmen make the same mistakes. Like the proverbial sophomore, we were probably "silly," but we didn't think so. jane Chakan was our president that year. lncidentally our classmates began to excel in sports. The happiest news of the year came just before the end of school when we learned that the war with Germany was over. Before school began for us as juniors, total victory had been pro- claimed to a weary world. Vtle were thankful that many members of our families and some of our classmates would be returning home. Our whole theme for that year was "Peace-it's wonderful." XVith many restrictions lifted we could look forward to a normal school career. ln fact, we began with a great deal of zest by raising money to take the class of '46 to Kennywood for the annual junior-senior outing which had been prohibited during war time. Then came the fourth and Hnal year with many of us anxious for the year to come to a close so that we could try our wings in a world at peace. But to many, a kind of nostalgia for days that soon would be past filled our last wear. Wle made new friends that year and saw many new faces on the faculty and soon-almost before we realized it-the last test was over, the last bell had rung, and we were graduates of Elders Ridge High School, diplomas in hand, saying good-bye to all the days that we had grown to enjoy. t CLASS lXIo'l"ro: Tonight aff famzrbq where Sha!! we anchor?

The first meeting was held on November 21. 1946. Officers were elected and a constitution drawn up. The purpose of the Commercial Club is to do commercial work for the teachers of our school. This relieves the teachers of many duties. The Club is for juniors and seniors only. One must average a three or over to be eligible. There are twenty-six members. Meetings are held regularly. Aside from work, the members provided enjoyment for them- selves. Different activities were held during the year. including parties and initiation. Each member did his very best to make the Commercial Club a success which it really was. OFFICERS President. ,............ ........,................

Lack of experience was the main difficulty the boys en countered. We started the season with a nine game schedule which was one of the hardest schedules in the county. On this schedule was a very highly rated school in Ohio At the end of the season we had five losses, three wins, and a tie.
