eff!! of 1945 The most outstanding feature of our freshman year was the initiation bestowed upon us by our superiors. Appear- ing in aprons and odd stockings was quite embarassing for the girls and also for the boys wearing rolled up trousers to reveal flashy unmatched socks. A successful assembly program including a play was given in our sophomore year for the entertainment of the rest of the school. A blizzard provided enough snow for a sleighing party, which was a new event. A Hallowe'en party in the form of a barn dance was also held. As juniors we had many outstanding events including a three-act comedy which proved that not all actors came from Hollywood. Class rings came and another successful assembly program was given. By sponsoring a Leap Year Dance, the treasury increased the funds for the Junior and Senior Banquet which was given in honor of the seniors. The Class of 1945 sincerely wishes the seniors all possible success and happiness for the years to come. Twenty-seven

glass of 1946 Bright and early on the morning of October nineteenth, forty-two pupils entered Room F, proud of the fact of having graduated from the eighth grade and now being freshmen. Starting the year off, a class meeting was held and the following officers were elected: president, Robert Keppleyg vice-president, Leon Martin, secretary, Mary Jane Shreinerg treasurer. Eva Denlinger. The second week of school found the freshman girls wearing large hair ribbons and aprons. The boys wore bow ties, odd socks and trousers rolled up to the knees. All this was the result of the sophomore initiation. During the month of February, we displayed our talents by presenting an assembly program. A play was given plus dancing, twirling and chaff by various members of the class. Also in February we held a sleighing party. As spring arrived, Mr. Housberg, our science teacher, took us on a hike, pointing out various kinds of plant life and the different kinds of rock of J. Z. Landis' stone quarry. In May the freshmen blossomed forth by having a skating party. It was held at the Maple Grove Rink. Everyone had a splendid time. After several months of vacation, twenty-six remaining students again started school. this time as sophomores. Our first activity was a modern minstrel show. The Sophomore Class was well represented in In Old Vienna with three playing leading roles. Again this year the sophs held a sleighing party. We are now hoping for a successful social in March. As the Class of 1944 prepares to leave the high school, never again to enter as pupils, we the sophomores extend our heartiest congratulations to you. We wish you all success and prosperity and a happy life as alumni of P. H. S. Twenty-nine
