THE FORTY-NINERS Thirty-one would-be miners enthusiastically shouldered their picks and shovels on that bright September morn and set off in search of gold. Yes, they were the Forty-niners. They had long heard it said that gold is where you find it. The leaders of the expedition were Dallas High, president: Coral Taylor, vice-president: Ardyth Prichard, secretary: and Edsel Brown, treasurer. In '46 we started on with renewed vigor. New life was added by new leaders: Pearl Bolen- baugh, president: Edsel Brown, vice-president: Ioanne Sidle, secretary: Carolyn Agler, treas- urer: and Alice Mae Krugh, reporter. We picked a white Carnation for our class flower, and flew our newly selected banner of purple and white. Toward the end oi the second year several gave up hope of ever finding gold: fool's gold had deceived them too many times. So September found just twenty-six of the original Forty- niners in search of gold. With new leaders-Dallas High, president: Carolyn Agler, vice-presi- dent: Ioanne Sidle, secretary: Ardyth Prichard, treasurer: Coral Taylor, historian: Lowell Ste- men, Sergeant-at-Arms: and Marlene Meeker, news reported-we pressed further on: for by now we had realized that We Finish to Begin and determined to make this our motto. By some streak of luck a rich deposit oi valuable ore was discovered in The Custers' Last Stand. After a short skirmish with Indians at exam time, we found ourselves a little nearer our goal. Gold rings, now adorned each hand as a symbol of our quest. In May, as skies began to clear, we entertained some tribes of friendly Indians who had helped us on our Way. Yes, we have learned many lessons from the Indians. And so-with re- newed vigor on go the Forty-Niners!

TEN LITTLE In our Freshman year, our class included thirty-one members, to whom high school seemed a little strange: for we were not quite used to changing classes and keeping our books in lockers. We selected very capable class oificers: Shirley Brand, our president: Patsy Rickard, vice president: Lola Mae Eibling. secretary: and Patty Krugh, treasurer. We were fortunate in having Mr. West as sponsor. When we had a skating party on November 7, 1946, at the Y. W. C. A. everyone rode on the school bus. Such fun as we had that night! Imagine a room lull of freshies, hall of whom did not know how to skate! Well, it was a case of stay out of our way or take your chance. We were better able to begin the second lap of the high school race. Our officers who are managing the Sopho- more team are Shirley Brand, president: Iay Dee Putnam, vice president: Iohn Priddy. secretary: Max Prichard, trea- surer: Lola Mae Eibling, news reporter: and Maynard George, advisor on parliamentary procedure. Mrs. Helen Wur- ster. the new music teacher, is our sponsor. We have selected our class colors which are green and gray. and our class flower, the yellow rose. With these chosen. we're ready for the third lap of the relay. We learned so much last year at the skating party that we decided to try it again this year, on October 22nd. Thinking ahead to the prom and an annual, we decided to begin our preparations early. Each suggestion for in- creasing our funds was welcomed and used to good advfantageeon November 8th the sale of forget-me-nots. and a bazaar and bake sale on December Sth. We intend to be the best Iunior class Ohio City Liberty has ever had.
