YEAR WIT!-I ZEN. HE first day started off with enthusiasm. Almost before the doors were unlocked, the G. R. bookstore was open for business. We signed up for classes and got acquainted with our new teachers. Our lockers, according to custom, were in a different corridor from last year, so we located them also. Class work soon began, and another year of school was under way. Upper pictures, left to right: Girl Reserves Frances Davis, Nell Jean Maxwell, and Jean Hilfiker sell books to customers Marvin Bentz, Dorothy Kantner, and Janet Beard . . . Jeanne Wrightsman, Jimmy Saxman, Patty Overla, Margaret Bellis, and Bob North inspect their new text books. Lower pictures, left to right: David Myers, Bob Jackson, Kermit Shaneyfelt, Bob Myers, and Dale Hummer find their new lockers after the drawing has been made .... As there were several changes in the faculty this year, Harold Brubaker, Principal, and Mrs. Helen Stevenson, Typhoon Sponsor, discuss faculty pictures for the yearbook with new teachers Harold Wallace, Wallace Fields, and T. E. Williams.

ENTERED INTC CUE NEW HE fall weather was still warm and inviting, so we had some difhculty staying indoors for a while. There was always a gath- ering on the lawn during the noon hour. We scuffled a little, played pitch and catch occasionally, made some new acquaintances, and exchanged the summer's accumulation of news with last year's fel- low classmates. Upper pictures, left to right: Betty Delauter and Bob Limbert were a daily sight on the east side of the school building until Bob left for the Navy. . .
