To organize their first wagon train, the fortune seekers chose Charles Hill as their leader, There was much excitement the first few weeks of travel and new problems to be faced. But soon these pioneers settled down to their tasks and under the capable direction of Miss Dorothy Beckman, proceeded on their long journey. To break the monotony of days of hard travel, two parties were held during that first year-a Christmas party on December 21 and a spring dance which was held in May. After a brief rest, the gold seekers reorganized under the lead- ership of Lee Haynam and the guidance of Miss Olive Allmon. One party was held in January of that year. During the third year of travel, the responsibility of leadership was placed on the shoulders of William Green. As juniors, searching for gold, the '49ers' sponsored such events as the Autumn Frolic, Foot- ball Finale, and the Queen of Hearts Dance. To help finance the jour- ney further, the gold diggers displayed their dramatic ability by pre- senting the three-act comedy Here Come the Brides on November 21. In highlighting the successful year, the Junior-Senior banquet and prom was given on May 28, to honor those who had earlier broken the trail. The theme for this occasion was a southern plantation. As the fortune seekers took a much needed rest, all thoughts were centered on the future year, the final step in their search for gold. Now, the journey almost completed, the '49ers' were again under the command of William Green. Miss Barbara James accepted the duties of adviser for the second year. Only 87 of the original wagon train will reach the end of the trail. Some found the hardships too difficult to endure and dropped by the wayside. On the trail to fame and fortune, the '49ers' sponsored the Snow Flake Frolic on December 23. Everyone brought out his best clothes that had been packed away for many months. Ray Robinson's orches- tra furnished music for this occasion. Again revealing their dramatic talent, the fortune hunters present- ed the three-act drama Best Yearsi' on April 8 and 9. This product- ion was directed by Mr. Franklin Arndt, dramatics coach. In May, the '49ers' reached the end of the trail, finding the much sought for gold. To celebrate, they were guests of the pioneers of '50 at the Junior-Senior banquet and prom, May 20. During the four year journey, the Class of '49 was well represent- ed in the activities and sporting events held along the trail, These '49ers' will long be remembered as the capable leaders who blazed the trail to the gold of knowledge . 30 Junior Senior Prom 1948 A Southern Plantation was the theme of the Jun- ior-Senior Prom sponsored by the class of 1949. The program was given from the stage which repre- sented the front porch of a beautiful plantation home, with its white pillars. In the center of the plantation garden was a magnificent fountain on which played colored lights. A fence and trees bordered the dance floor which completed the illusion of a beautiful moon- lit sunken garden. The theme was carried out to the last detail, with a colored butler Uames Sponsellerj to announce the serving of the southern fried chicken dinner, which was served by some of the young fry of the plantation. The program was consis- tent with the theme. Twila Hirst played the accompan- iment for a trio composed of Norma DeBee, Jean Conrad Greco, and Barbara Rob- erts: Al Jolson was por- trayed by Jerry Jobes, M. H. S. alumni. Charles W. Peters, local humorist, ser- ved as toastmaster. Harry Woodfield and his orchestra furnished the music for dan- cing.

Specially ordered jewelry purchased by these fortune seekers of '50 was evidence of the wealth which they have acquired during their travels. The gold diggers provided entertainment along the trail by spon- soring a round and square dance entitled the Corn Shock Shuffle. Music was furnished by Ted Kuhn and his orchestra. Another excit- ing affair sponsored by this wagon train was the Lions' Ball, This occasion honored the football queen and her attendants, the coaches, and the football team. Bobby Quinn's orchestra provided music for this social event. Displaying their dramatic talent, these gold diggers presented a three-act comedy entitled A Young Man's Fancy on December 4. Participants were ably directed by Mr, Franklin Arndt, dramatics coach. In honor of Valentine's day, a Heart Beat Dance was planned with music by Ronnie Smith's orchestra. To help the '49ers' celebrate the finding of their fortune, the gold seekers of '50 shared some of their acquired wealth by entertaining with a Junior-Senior banquet and prom on May 20. An appropriate theme relating to the '49ers' was very well carried out. Having been very successful in the three years on the trail, the gold diggers of '50 look forward to the last step of their journey and to obtaining the gold of knowledge . 38 Sophomore Class Officers Buck RowiDonna Manfull, Joan Brown, Lee Hall, and Nancy Leo.

The Diary bi-weekly publication of Minerva High School, was first edited in H1328 by the local chapter of the National Honor Society. This newspaper acquired its title from the fact that it contains a record of daily events in high school. It is affiliated with the National Scholastic Press Association. For the second consecutive year, an experienced staff, without additional credit toward graduation, this year edited the paper, giving beginning journalism students an opportunity to learn the rudiments of news writing i11 the first semester. Pat DeWalt, though a novice, won honorable mention in the national editorial contest sponsored by Quill and Scroll, honorary society for high school journalists, in which both school publications hold membership.

During the action of the play, Fred Barton, Cora Davis's beau of four years ago, shows up and, after a short romance again, asks her to leave her mother and marry himg however, before she can make up her mind, her younger sister Madge runs away and gets married. Her brother Leslie, whom she is helping through college, gses off with a dance band to Europe. Cora, left as sole support of her mother, is determined 'to show her indefpendenee and break away from the hold her mother has upon her. She starts to leave for a dance, for which she has been preparing for a number of Weeks, when at that moment lVIrs. Davis has a heart attack. After having done everything possible for her mother, Mrs. Davis dies, leaving Cora free to go her own way, but perhaps not free in mind, for Cora may go through lite feeling that she killed her own mother. iqllllllli.
