History When the Class of '49 enrolled as Freshmen, we had a membership of thirty-seven. Dorothy Moore, Ruth Ann Lyons, Norvel Gardner, Barbara Newlin, Robert Combs, Delores Dahn, and Virginia Kordatzky, started at Hartland in the first grade and continued here through the twelfth grade to graduate in the Class of '49, When we entered high school as Freshmen we elected the following class officers: President- John Combs: Vice-President-Ruth Ann Lyons: Secretary, Teresa Foldenauer: Treasurer- Lawrence McFarlane: Sponsor-Mrs. Sarah Beattie'Allen. As Freshmen we remember one outstanding thing, our initiation. However, W. H. Griffiths, our new superintendent protected us from any bodily harm, but our appearance indicated otherwise. Our two class parties, which we enjoyed very much, were at the recreation hall and roller skating provided our main entertainment. As we started our Sophomore year we found that three members of our class had left us. They were Virgil Van Camp, Richard Scott, and William Olrich. However, we were joined by nine new students. They were: David Boyes, Andy Helquist, Joyce Becker, Lois Becker, Barbara Powell, Nancy Goodfellow, Lois Auker, Mary Jane Beemer, and John Wilson. Our class officers for the year were: President-Jackie Hogan: Vice-President- Barbara Newlin: Secretary-Charles Rogers: Treasurer-David Horner: Sponsor-Miss Reed. Our social events consisted of initiation of the Freshmen, with the assistance of a pine board of education. For our class party, there was roller skating, preceded by a game of basketball, girls vs. boys. It was just a game for fun. Our class, being very ambitious, took the opportunity of picking up potatoes, the profit of which we would use in our Senior year. Late in the spring, we ordered our class rings, which we received early in our Junior year. At the opening of the .Tunior year, four members left us. They were: John Wilson, Mary Jane Beemer, Nancy Goodfellow, and Lois Auker. Among the new members were: Barbara Stock, Joyce Price, and Donna Jean Atwater. Our officers for the year were: President-Ruth Ann Lyons: Vice- President-Barbara Newlin: Secretary-T ony Gaffka: Treasurer-Teresa Foldenauer: Sponsor-Mrs. Norma Mageira. Our Junior play, Poor Dear Edgar' was a very entertaining comedy and after the play open house was held at the home of Virginia Kordatzky. A good time was enjoyed by all. After the play our attention turned to the Junior and Senior Banquet. We used a Dutch theme with which to bid the class of '48 farewell. Again we re sorted to the profitable work of picking up potatoes, the money earned was tucked away for our Senior trip. The beginning of the Senior year found us minus two of our former classmates, Donna Jean Atwater and Larry McFarlane. Class officers elected for the year were: President-Tony Gaffka: Vice-President-David Boyes: Secretary-Jackie Hogan: Treasurer-Milton Hoose: Class Sponsor Miss Luella Rote and Mr. W. H. Griffiths. On October 4th our Senior pictures were taken, and we received them December lO. A Magazine sale was carried on by the class to enlarge the treasury for the Senior trip. The class was divided into two teams, led by Tony Gaffka and David Boyesg the losing team was to put on a party for the winners. The losing team led by Tony Gaffka, gave the winners a real treat at the home of Teresa Foldenauer. Everyone enjoyed himself so much that when the party was over the rivalry between the two teams was quickly forgotten. Resulting from the hard work put forth by both teams, a considerably large profit for our Senior trip was made. Due to the co-operation of the class and the leadership of Dick Johnson, a very good profit was made from the refreshments sold at the basketball games. For additions to our sizeable treasury we give credit to the Soil Conservation banquet, and the refreshment stand at Fredenburg's sale. We chose for our Senior play the comedy, We Shook the Family Tree, which was presented on February 18th and 19th. Directly after the play we had our class party at Virginia Kordatzky's house. Our class skip day, supposedly a dark secret, was a well advertised affair. To our great surprise and satisfaction, we were allowed to take a school bus, along with our sponsor, Miss Rote, and a very capable driver, Ray Enos: we appreciated the generosity on the part of both Superintendent Griffiths and the school board. The highlights of the day were a picnic at Belle Isle, a ball game at Briggs Stadium and a movie in the evening. The Senior class sponsored a school party, which was given for the benefit of grades nine through twelve and their parents. A very good band was hired for the evening. The refreshments were superbithose who came, enjoyed themselves to the fullest extent. The Junior class gave us the annual banquet with the theme Boy Meets Girl in Candy Land as a background. After a delicious dinner and an hour of enjoyable entertainment, there was dancing which was enjoyed by everyone. Scarlet and Silver were selected as class colors, and a red rose with a silver ribbon as our flower. Our motto is Cne Step At A Time But Always Forward. Our class will leave for Washington, D. C., on Friday, June 17. On the day we return from our ten- day trip, each person will enter his own private life, leaving behind all the high school days as a class. It is then we shall center all our interests toward the future and what it holds in store for us. We, the Class of '49, sincerely hope that the community will remember us as one of the great classes to graduate from Hartland High School. Jackie Hogan, Chairman, Betty Martin, Norvel Gardner, Dorothy Moore, Barbara Powell.
