FLASHBACKSU OF THE SENIORS . . . Class dances, bake sales, parties, student activities, plays, orchestra con- certs! Year in and year out these go on with little change. All that information is contained in previous yearbooks and in the Writeups of other sections of this Annual. But what of the other events that caused much excitement at the time but were soon forgotten? Refresh your memories, Seniors! Here goes: Dr. Beattie resigned at the end of our freshman year to become assistant super- intendent of Allegheny County schools. We regretted his leaving, for many of us had him all through the grades and junior high, but we found in Dr. Floyd, his successor, a real leader and sympathetic advisor. The periods were lengthened and reduced to six instead of eight, and activities began to assume more importance. Many old timers of our class drifted away during the last four years whom we wish were with us now at graduation. To mention a few: Jamie Brinkerhoff and Jack Fulford, Barbara Robertson, Lillian Patt, Howard Fisher, Hazel Beatty and Dick Hawthorne. Then you remember Ed Burns and Merle Clapsaddleg and who can forget Bob Shaffer or Peggy Gass? And then there used to be some novel couples that are non-existant today: Don- nie Dunn and Eleanor Stewart, Bill Lytle and Bubs Hansen, Marian Sayre and '25 Larry and Gladdy Lou McAlpineg Bill Maier and Harriet Wilhere. Jim Turnbull and Jane Thompson used to be together all the time. We could mention some of Laurie's different aifairs, but that would take up too much space. Then there were the new additions to the class after the freshman year. Jimmy Turnbull came when we were sophomores, so 'did Jinny Pierce, Alice Cratsley, Betty Schneider, Cathryn Heintz, Ruth Dunkle, Grace Gibson and Olive Combs. The inim- itable Gus Jones and Johnnie Ward and Doris Clark also came that year. Harrison Bashioum, Alan McCutcheon, Babbie Sanford, and Mary Lou Bruckman joined us as juniors. Other events we need but mention and our memories will furnish the de- tails are: those strange, thrilling first freshman days when all was so new and bewildering. Remember the Hallowe'en Dance that the Girl Reserves gave four years ago. Remember the Freshman Tea Dance and the Scavenger Hunt that year. Jane Logan got the mumps. Then there was the swimming party when Charlotte Wray dove in with her watch on. When Sadie was a junior, she won first place in the piano contest. Remember the track meet where we met Grace for the Hrst time? She was as scared as we were. Patty used to go over to the other side all the time. Then there was the day Mr. Kelly broke the glass in the door. Don Pierce used to make all our hearts iiutter when we were sophomores. How can we forget those unique Latin translations that Jamie Brinkerhoff used to give when we were Freshies. Then there were those rainy football games and the one with Arnold Prep that was postponed. And don't forget selling candy and hot dogs! Don Dunn had a little accident when he skidded into a tree. All of which brings us up to the present year, and what things didn't happen then. Mr. Johns was replaced by Mr. Espy. Larry Hamilton ran into a tree on his toboggan. Eunice Latshaw walked around school for about two weeks with her neck in a cast. Bill Lytle won seventh place in the National Declamation Contest. Ross left us to join the army. Then, of course, Betty Herbert went to Hollywood for an extended visit, and Betty Doty won fourth place in a national essay contest. Remem- ber that Annual Musicale where all the senior girls lost their hearts to Dave Easter- brooks. Well, these are just little sidelights of our high school career. You fill in the gaps yourself. How was your memory, Seniors? QtQ1tQQ:1t11QQ:t:1QQQ1gQQQ: E20l
