Faber Anthony Tomeo President Vice President ouise DeMartines Ann Lechman Secretary Treasurer IN JANUARY 1944 a class of freshmen entered Aliquippa High School. To the seniors who laughed at us as we pondered over which were up,' steps and which were down,'1 we may have looked just like any other bewildered ugreeniesn who were getting their first taste of high school. To us, our group of boys and girls was the most important in the world, for we were just beginning what proved to be a happy and successful high school career. We worked and played through four years highlighted by record breaking stamp and bond sales, the end of the war, a bigger and better band, championship track, cross country, baseball, foot- ball, and basketball teams, plays produced by an energetic re-organized Dramatic Club, several well-trained choruses, and an active Junior Red Cross and F. A. R. Club. In February of 1947, as the first organized class activity, we combined efforts with the June class for our Junior Prom, The Starlight Serenadef, During our last semester, we held a round of gala events including two informal parties in the gym, the Christmas Dream, Senior Prom, a laugh-filled color-day assembly, and a banquet at the Colonial. Then came January ZZ. A commencement program prepared by senior students in speech classes heralded the event-we received our diplomas. Dest ite all this merry-making, we ended our high school careers with a large balance in our treas- ury, raised through the sale of greeting cards and the printing of football programs. As a parting tribute to the school, we voted to give five hundred dollars to the QUIPPIAN and one hundred dollars to the National 1-lonor Society Memorial Scholarship Fund. Our class gave a host of leaders to the school's various activities, sixteen of whom were elected to the National Honor Society, a percentage of the class unequalled in the Woodlawn Chapter's history. Every class thinks it's the best. We think ours, the January Class of 1948, is better. We chal- lenge you to match our record! I-IOMEROOM TEACHERS Miss Cunningham Mrs. George Mrs. Edwards 1 24
