Senior Class History SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the year 1937, there were 38 meek, timid little tots who entered Archbold Public School for the first time. In the second and third grades we were still dar- ling little tots. Much to our surprise in the fourth grade we lost five and gained four pupils, namely, Shirley Bernath, Ruth Springer, Ralph Lugbill and Franky Hernandez, In the fifth grade we gained Marjorie Waidelich and Fon- tabel Stuckey, In the sixth grade we lost three students and gained one, namely, Sue Ellen Soles. Then came a long trip to the Thigh sohool building, In the seventh and eighth grades there were thir- ty-eight students, In our Freshman year there were seven from Zone and five from Elmira, plus three others from various schools, September 28, 1946, fifty-three pupils were in- itiated into A. H, S. Our Junior year was an exciting yearg We all looked forward to the Junior and Senior Banquet, Pick- ing out our class rings and pins that would bind us to the A. H, S, forever was thrilling for us, 'Dhen came the Junior play, FRESH AIR, which made everyone laugh till their sides hurt, At last the year came when we were Seniors, On December tenth We received our long awaited pictures taken by JimSellers, Our last play, THE PROFESSOR GOES HAYWIREQ' was given May 5 and 6.

Class Qbituary In the month of September, of the year 1937, a class was born without fanfare or recognition. It started its life, which was soon to be known the world around for its remarkable achievements. Then, on May 17, 1949, it happened, When this class had obtained the ,highest position yet achieved by 'a senior class, it started out to set new records in fields no other class had ever dared to attempt, but was cut short with its deatlh. Left to mourn is the Junior class, the Sophomore class, and the Freshman class, The first class mentioned will succeed the late Senior class but will in no way be expected to fill the position achieved by the late Seniors, When the first grade class of 1937 was born they were yet fairly undeveloped but as this class grew and grew it advanced higher and higher in this big, wide world. Not only did it grow in size, but also in the realm of wisdom and social ability. It seems that the Senior Class of 1949 could be unsurpassed in athletic, musical and educational abilities. Although they died from this activity, yet may they live forever in the memories and the purifying in- fluences that are left behind to the future Seniors of Archbold High School. The funeral service was held on May 17, 1949, in the Archbold High School, where they had spent the last six years of their life, Attendance at the service Was by invitation only and all friends were requested to attend, bearing flowers, and gifts, Z8
