MR. Dnlscux-,ia Miss NV.-KN Busxnuc Mn. ScuA.xD'1' IT ALL COMES. BACK TO ME NOW T In the fall of 1943, Emmaus High 'School opened its gates to welcome two hundred and two green and inexperienced freshmen. After weathering the trials of initiation we settled down to enjoy our first year of high school life. Our first opportunity to show our musical ability came in February when We presented the ShoWboat hlinstreln with Robert Wieand presiding as inter- locuter. WVe were proud as only freshmen can be, for we had accomplished some- thing. Our year's activities ended with a dance in the gymnasium during the heat of school closing. Wie returned as sophomores eager for the year ahead. The names of our classmates were frequently seen adorning the sports pages. Enthusiastically we supported our athletic teams, attended the dances, and boosted our class. The social functions we held during the year were two dances, at which we all enjoyed ourselves and also swelled the class treasury. Time flew, and before most of us realized it, the term was over. And now we were juniors! School pride had become a part of us. Halloween was the occasion of our first dance, the Goblin's Hopf, Our classmate, Donald lifarkley distinguished himself not only as the winner of our Junior Declamation Contest, but went on to gain laurels for our school by championing over the other school winners at the County Contest. The event of the year for the majority of l14l

DonGI.As lVI.xu'rz, T1-cas us was the Junior Prom. At this annual affair held on April 26, 1946, a.t the Owls' Home, that colorful celebration, the Coronation of the Prom Queen took place. Alice Heist, the queen was crowned by Barbara Schreiber, her predecessor. Her four youthful attendants were Gloria Fasching, Teresa Kocis, Josephine Read- inger, and Carole Yerby. Vile bade the senior class a sad farewell at our third and last function. Finally our senior year had come. lVe were determined to fill it with all the pleasant memories possible. Gerald Keller and Douglas hiartz served our class as president and treasurer respectively, for the fourth year. At our dance in honor of Sadie Hawkin's Day the prize winning Daisy Mae and Li'l Abner were married up by lllarrying Sam with the accompaniment of music by a hill-billy band. VVe were proud of our presentation of Tiger Housef' our Class Play which entertained three large audiences in November. All of the actors rendered ad- mirable performances, casting credit on the able direction of hir. VVoodrow Schaadt. The lVlistletoe Swing shortly after Christmas was our next task. VVC were honored by the presence and presents of Santa Claus. Novel entertainment held the spotlight at the Sweetheart Swing on February 15, 1947. In spring we enjoyed and profited by our field trips to the State Hospital, the County Jail, and the Court House. We were privileged to present a second Class Play, The Phantom Tiger, which was a fitting sequel to the first performance. Plans had been made early for the climax of our high school career, the Senior Ball. VVe enjoyed dining and dancing with our classmates and guests at this and best of all our social functions. The final and most important part of our high school career was the Baccalaureate Service and Commencement, when 14-0 seniors received their diplomas. l,0L0ltES MILLER, Sec.
