SENIORS Ada Mary Duerlein, Dave McLaughlin, Mary Lou Keep, Nancy 0'Leary, Dave Barkley. September, 1946 is an unforgettable month in the lives of 350 Wilkinsburgers, the graduating class of 'Q49, for this was the beginning of an adventure in our lives. l.Ve entered Senior High School.

In the ranks of Stu- dent Council were Nelson Baylor, Chip Har- ner, Barbara Purifoy, Mary Lou Keep, and the veteran juniors of the previous year.
