'Nl' If f QNIV do -. JOAN DYGERT, Secretary MR. KAMINSKIS, Sponsor EILEEN GONCZY, President CLASS HISTORY The year of years has ended and with it the events that the class of '50 will hold dear. Be- fore we step out into the wonderful world, 1et's take a backward look to the beginning of our his- tory. Well, really not the beginning but at least the most important part in our young lives. We were first granted recognition by the sophomores who proceded to initiate us in the ways of high school life. The year was full of new experiences which with the help of our pre- sident, Ned Hovater, proved to be exciting and memorable. Our sophomore year brought the delightful task of initiating the freshmen who were very lucky in escaping most of what we had endured. We then experienced the new responsibility of sponsoring our first dance, t'Spring Swing which proved to be successful. The rest of the year went smoothly under the guidance of our able president, Dale MacDonald. With our new class rings on our fingers we happily concluded the year. Juniors at last. With Dale Davis presiding we began a year full of activities. First, cardinal and white were chosen as our class colors and after seeing our sweaters we knew we had made the right choice. In April our J-Hop came into view and with the theme of underwater gardens,

PETE KLAWSON, Vice-Pres. it painted a picture in our memories not to be for- gotten. Make-up, last minute rehersal of lines, and hands shaking from stage fright was the scene as we went on stage for our class play, f'Your Face Is Familiar. Our success proved we also had acting ability. The Junior-Senior banquet ended another memorable chapter in our history. At first it was hard to believe that we had reached the year of years, but with the new responsibility of being the leaders in school, we began to realize that it finally had come. With our senior president, Eileen Gonczy, taking on her new duties and the camera snapping our long- awaited senior pictures, the year began. Our play, Lean Rivers , was upon us before we knew it and with Mrs. Sarah Smith directing, it proved to be a success beyond all anticipation. The annual skip day and trip to Lansing followed and then the gay festivities of the last month. The Senior Prom, held at the Women's League in Ann Arbor lingers still in our memories. Then with the train whistle blowing, we began our trip to Washington, D.C. for six wonderful days. On returning, we fell into the fast moving days of Commencement. Now it is finished, and after taking this back- ward glance we see how much we have grown through these last years. We have gained know- ledge and friends which will influence the rest of our lives and will never be forgotten. 950 PAUL DYGERT, Treasurer MRS. SMITH, Sponsor
