R. Penosock, J. Howard, K. Axtell, K. McKenna Class of '50 We are Albion High School's mid-century class! On June 27, 1950 we will have finally made our way through enough history, English, math and language classes to have our names entered as alumni. If we ever thought we were busy before, this year topped all our previous records. Our class officers were: President - - - - JOHN HOWARD Vice-President - KENNETH AXTELL Secretary - - RITA PENASACK Treasurer ----- KAREN MCKENNA Every Tuesday morning during homeroom periods, we had Class meetings - they will always be, to say the least, unforgettable. Since our treasury was, to put it mildly, low, we entered into a flurry of selling newspaper subscriptions. The Senior Tea, to which we invited the faculty and our parents was a big success due partly to the good work of Ann Monacelli, Carol Francis, and Florence Yaskulski. If anyone noticed a few sleepy seniors during October and November, they were probably members of the cast of Tish, the senior play. The play went off with the usual number of mistakes, which only added to the fun. Because of Ioan 'luliands efforts we had two successful skating parties. Nearly every- one had to limp into Home Room the next day but it was worth it. We ave our treasury another boost by selling Christmas paper. Who will ever forget Timmy's leer as he said, Pay for that paper or else! Hamburg, pickles, and chocolate milk constituted the main diet of those who attended the Christmas party. We thought that we could make a success of the Football Prom. Although everyone worked hard and had a good time, it was a financial failure. But the dances that we sponsored after basketball games brought in a little money to our depleted treasury. Then there was the Easter Ball, with its sidewalk cafe theme, which we'll always remember and which brought in a S640 profit. Selling candy after school was another project the class undertook. Bob Janus, Ruth Nickerson, Carol Francis, and Leonard Radzinski, Carl Babcock, Eleanor Sidari, and Ioan 'luliano besides having to sell the candy also had to keep the mice from eating it. What a year! A moonlight tobaggan party on Pine Hill, ushering for Back to School Night, ordering class pins - more things to tuck away into memories of our senior year. And there,s more to come. Carol Francis, Clenn Sprague, lohn Ferris, and Rodger Wagner are choosing their committees for Class Day. A picnic at Hamlin Beach is being planned by Pat Ludwick and Richard Hollenbeckg Carl Babcock is in charge of our trip to Crystal Beach. Finally will come Craduation Day - 1950. 12 Presiding This Year
