AS TIMS GOES BY Gee, but I'm sleepy. I've done a hard day's work. I'll just sit here and rest a spell and- - -zzzzzz Yes, there we sat, fourty-four green freshies. That was in September of 1944- We must have been funny look- ing because all the upper classmen just stood around and laughed at us. At our first class meeting we elected of- ficers. Mrs. Welch was our advisor and Joan Ping our president. We had planned on having a picnic but didn't get to, so the Sophomore class treated us to a party on October 26. It was a swell party and we all had a good time. That year, as in the years to follow, several of our boys went out for football, basketball, and track. At the annual F.F.A. Ball one of our froshies, Nanci Lowe was an attendant to Cecelia Celmar, the F.F%A. queen. Our freshman year was over and we left Auburn High to come back in the fall feeling fine but a little paler green in color. Our class had lost a few of its members, but the major part was still together. Mr. Page was our advisor and Jack Marchetti was our president. We had a wiener roast and hayride at George Archer's that fall. The Student Council started a tardiness campaign. Our class had the biggest percent tardy so we had to give an all-school party. This v.as called the Tardy Party and we thought it was the best one of the year. Well, we again entered the portals of A.C.H.S. in September of 1946. We were back to our original color and could laugh at the freshmen coming into'the building for the first time. Our class was really steppin' lively with Orville Barnes as president and Mr.”Heiderscheid and Miss Peebles as our advisors. We had a party to which each Junior could invite a guest. It was a huge success. (That's what they all said.) To make money we put on a play Mr. Aunt Lucretia and we also sponsored a donkey basketball game. With this money we gave a banquet and prom in honor of the Senior class on May 23, 1947. Ho-hum I I must have been asleep. I was dreaming. I wonder what about. Oh, well, I guess I'll never know.
