CLASS HISTORY A noisy but nervous gang of forty-nine wide-eyed Freshmen assembled in the Assembly on September 5, 1945. It was the largest class, even taking up some of the Sophomores’ seats. We seemed to get along all right in registering and as- signments. After we became acquainted with good old Ashley High and the faculty our Freshman year proved to be a busy one. Miss Cook became our class sponsor and the elected officers were: Dick Harmes, President; Ruth Ann Hoffelder, Vice- President; Troas Orwig, Secretary; Bill Wilson, Reporter. There were two parties that year, one a great hay ride with two tractor-drawn wagons to the farm of our sponsor's father at Garrett. Who could forget the wieners? The second class party was held at the Community Building at Fairfield Center with games and food for all. In March Herman Lehman from Kendallville joined us and Marilyn Deetz moved to Huntertown. April found our Freshman work finished and us eager for vacation. In the following September we began our Sophomore year with three new students; Margaret Redmon, Helen Stout, June Hart. Helen Altimus, Maxine Carroll, Robert Farver, Faye Franze, Pauline Royer, Paul Stoy, Nelda Strauser and Juanita Voges had not come back to join us. Dolly Arney was our sponsor and elected officers were: Dean Stoy, President; Fred Rose, Vice-President; Clarice Whysong, Secretary; Bill Wilson, Reporter. Two exciting parties were held that year. The first was a skating party at Silver Moon. We had a large group and were refunded some money to begin the funds for our Junior and Senior Trip. The second party was a picnic supper at Pokagon. A treasure hunt lead us all over the park and ended up at the animal pens. A softball game, girls against the boys, proved the boys to be the win- ners. The evening grew cool and we were glad to have our picnic supper ciose to a fireplace. The cold early spring wind nipped at everyone. After we cleared things away, we left for a show at Angola. Some of the class was to be found in each theater. In January three students, June Hart, Harley Pankop, and Jean Smith left us and in February James Hovarter decided to discontinue his work. This was the most important year for us because we ordered and received our class rings and sweaters. We also chose our class color, blue and white, and class flower, the American Beauty Rose. We were honored by having in our class that year the queen of Ashley High, Troas Orwig. The school year ended with a party for the whole high school at Hamilton Lake. We returned in the fall, beaming with pride and big plans to be as busy as little beavers! Right away we chose our old stand-by, Dolly, as class sponsor and the elected officers were: Fred Rose, President; Mona June Strite, Vice-President; Ruth Ann Hoffelder, Secretary; Joann Miller, Treasurer; and Bill Wilson, Reporter. Before the year had hardly started, we were working and planning on the Junior play,
