Forty-four freshmen timidly joined the high school crowd in the year 1949. They were so green that by the time they became sophomores, they had lost six members. The 38 remaining chose green and gold for class colors and then ordered their class sweaters using these same shades. Then the 34 juniors bravely came back to work hard through their junior year. Under the guidance of their sponsor, Miss Miller, they sold everything from Christmas cards to suckers in order to have funds for a senior trip. The junior year saw them purchase sparkling class rings, choose the yellow rose as their class flower, and select their class motto: The Elevator to Success Is Not Running.
