CLASS H ISTORY The prelude of the Class of '49 began on September 3, 1997 under Miss Wade. Among our number were: jim Tillner, Margie Holahan, Gillede Kemp, Sandra Klostermyer, and Mary Lou Heintz. Skitsie Young looked .so handsome at G. Kernp's birthday party in his new tweed topcoat-that is until he fell in the mud under the chestnut tree. We began our secondary theme with Miss Lester as conductor. Nan Hamrnel was caught whispering with Gordon Williams-for punishment she sat with him the rest of the afternoon. Donald Stedman was added as a new note to our musical score. We swung into our third year with rhythm and syncopation. Now having become accustomed to the fast-moving tempo of school life, we turned to the spirited movement of social life. We were kept under control by the baton of Miss Miller, nevertheless, this didn't keep Melvin Newton from getting a crush on Sandra Klostermyer. In fourth grade, under Miss Donlon, our social life really flourished with one party after another. This was the year several of the boys began to notice the grace and accomplishments of the opposite sex. In fifth grade, with Miss Gardner as teacher, Priscilla Bouton was added to the steady rhythm of our school life. We knitted an afghan for the Red Cross with D. Stedman and G. Stevens racing to see who could finish the most squares. This was the year of our first big romance. J. P. Tillner and Margie Holahan were the happy pair. G. Kemp added to the harmony of the couple by acting as chaperone. Remember the Beads, Margie? In sixth grade, under the guidance of Miss Affleck, the goddess Melpomene struck! VVe began to get our Hrst failing marks. Then, the little list on the bulletin board-Bill Young got a gold star-he had gained ten pounds! There were several additions to our musical score in seventh grade under Miss Fox and Miss Barr. Among these were Thelma Gath, Elmer Smith, Chester Walzack, Elizabeth Schoff, Beverly Bush, Karl Grohs and Jim Lakas. From the Erie school came Barbara Klein f what a thrill she started in J. Tillner's hearth, Albert Smith, Roy Bookmiller and Norman Wilcox, bringing with them memories of how they played Annie Annie over the roof every noon hour. In eighth grade, Miss Miller and Mrs. Lapp acted as composers and we, thc privileged, entered Senior Study Hall, poor Miss Zeh! This year Zoe Ann Ball was added as a new note to our composition now fully under way toward its postlude. iNe entered high school in 1945 under Miss Duggan, Miss Benjamin and Bliss Bishop. We all tried to join the Sock and Buskin-Phyllis Love was accepted. Every other day Miss Bishop gently but firmly led B. Klein and S. Klostermver into seventh grade to sit in Study Hall. We all went to the prom in a body-M. Holahan going with F. Gohlke, President of the Junior Class, B. Klein and D. Stedman, G. Kemp and Tillner-all building the foundation for a harmonious chord. Our pace began to quicken as Dr. Rice and Mr. Albro beat out the tempo in Sophomore Homeroom. Batavia High School sent.us a new note, Barbara Regan. We organized this year with liob Gardner as president, but very little was accomplished. Ilere all those who were in Spanish Club started out for Letchworth Park for a picnic. Again Melpomene struck, as several lost their way and wandered a couple of hours in the dark, dreary and muddy atmosphere of the night. In the first measure of our closing theme, we came under the guidance of the strong hand of our sponsor, Miss Cross. S. Klostermyer deserted us this year, leaving a discord in our so far perfect harmony. Kathleen Rende joined us to take her place, and N. Lucas came from Pennsylvania to become one of us. Our prom was a big success netting us the full amount of 31623. Junior-Senior picnic was an evtra stanza added to our gay composition. Crystal Beach, our destination, was reaclged after the bus had a few flat tires. However, in the end all enjoyed it very mnc . We can look back on the composition of our musical score now as we staunchly march into the front door and into Room 202 with pride and a feeling of accom- plishment. Our senior play went off without a discordant note and the ball, with its beautiful theme, is a moment not soon to be forgotten by the class of '49, As we look to Baccalaureate, Class Night. and Commencement, we can see with satisfac- tion the last movement of mir twelve-vear composition. Surpassing all classes in Warsaw High School, this class raised 8435.59 on the sale of magazines. 12
