ADVENTURES OF THE 1948 SENIORS In years to come, we'l1 turn the pages of our comic book, look over our gang, and remember our happy days together in A. H. S. As Freshmen beginning the first chapter in September 1944, we sold magazines and were quite proud of this first deposit in our treasury. This year we also had an old-fashioned box supper and a picnic at Shadyside Park. Mrs. Slone, Miss Young, and Mr. Graham started our group of characters on the path to graduation. The next year found us in the senior high edition feeling very important. The class treasury swelled with money from a skating party and a dance. We had a Hallowe'en party too. Did you ever see so many ghosts? There was a picnic at Matter's Park. Re- member Joe Songer's long walk home. Miss French, Miss Hull, and Mrs. Buck were the guiding influence that kept the characters in line. Our Junior year began and we eagerly awaited the arrival of our green and white sweaters. Our rings came, too, but they were soon swapped with that special someone. Lots of Christmas cards were sent and letters written, due to our sales of cards and stationery. We spon- sored two dances after basketball games and sold ice cream for the last six weeks of school. The most memorable event of this year was our all-day trip to Purdue. Girls, you aren't allowed in the boys' dorm! At last the final installment of our comic book began. Vianna Wilson was kept busy deposit- ing money earned by selling pop, potato chips, hot dogs, popcorn, and ice cream at the games. We sponsored dances, too, and sold Tiger pins. Remember the Michigan vocabulary test? Did you ever see such big words? Our class sponsored three programs during the year. A Negro tenor, Emmanuel Mansfield was the first one. Next came the magician. Say, he surely could ride a bicycle. Last but not least was the Deep River Quartett. We all had Soooup on the brain for weeks. John Carver was on hand to lead us through the year and was ably assisted by Duane Knotts. We were surely proud of those grey caps and gowns. Didn't they look super on com- mencement day? Thank you, Miss French, Miss Hull, and Mr. Evans for your help in making our senior year such a big success. Your guiding forces were invaluable to us. i With these memories in our hearts, we say farewell to our days in A. H. S. N inc
