Class lliistnrg The autumn of 1941 is a date all members of the magnificent class of '53 will long remember, for it was then that two different groups of energetic little tots of the two townships, Menno and Union, were entering their respective little red school houses for the first time. The long, tedious grind of school days eventually lasted far longer than any of these little first graders on that special day every suspected. The teachers for these two groups of precocious scholars were Miss Honoure forBelleville and Miss Byler for the Allensville School. The pupils of Union township studied terrifically for their first eight years in order'to gain that great honor of entering what to us was a dignified, grown up place, namely, high school. Their first money raising project, the selling of magazines in eighth grade, set a new record of super salesmanship. Meanwhile, the students of Menno Township were also studying strenuously in order to obtain that honor of being a member of a high school. It was in their eighth grade that as a class they enjoyed their first big outing, an exciting and hilarious hayride. These two groups passed their required high school entrance examinations and then looked for- ward to the big date on the freshman calendar, the Hallowe'en initiation by the seniors. The school bell ringing in September, 1949, started these two classes on their last four years of school, the most exciting and thrilling four of their lives thus far. The seniors entered into freshmen initiation with a great exuberance, and did a spectacular job of torturing those poor things. This year 1949 at Belleville was an unuaually productive one, for the class started the candy counter project, now under the capable sponsorship for the Athletic Association. At the same time, the Allensville lads and lassies went on a traveling spree, for they journeyed to the Farm Show at Harrisburg, the solemn Battlefield of Gettysburg, and even to our beloved capi- tol, Washington, D. C. The school year of 1950 brought something new: During the summer, Menno and Union Town- ships were consolidated, and the school became known as Menno-Union Joint High School. This brought together the two classes, now sophomores, forming the really remarkable class of'53. During this year the group for additional funds decided to sell Christmas cards. This, the first project of its nature since the consolidation, showed the stability and power of the class. As these students moved into the jolly junior year, they started thinking about their being seniors and their oncoming trip. As projects they presented a successful play, Coveralls , a hillbilly show, Doc Williams, and sold Easter candy. It was then that they also took another inspiring field trip to the Gettysburg Battlefield, and later in the year, selected their class rings, their pride and joy. At the very end of the year the class presented a gay Junior-Senior prom, preceded by a colorful banquet, at the Birch Hill Country Club. Then came the anticipated school term of 1952-53, the year when these sober seniors would excel one in their strength and accomplishments. First came the joy of putting the freshmen through their paces, and these greenies were thoroughly frightened and subdued. While they were still recovering from the shock, the seniors, to help build up their morale, presented a comedy, Happy Daze . Later in the year they called back their old friend, Doc Williams, to put on another successful show. With the relaxation and relief following the seemingly never-ending midyear tests, the class plunged headlong into the task of finishing their yearbook. This class has set a goal in education and curricular activities that at times was difficult to attain. But to twenty members of that group comes the realization that their duties are just beginning, that life, like school, will involve in endless work. They have done nobly thus far, and it may be diffi- cult for oncoming students to compete with the Maroon and White of the Class of 1953. f fu I' -I 15
