' .',',t-12,1 5 IILQI Early in September of the year 1946, a small band of eager and intelligent boys and girls numbering forty-five strong marched down from the hills and into Dogpatch high in quest of a broader education. This group of hillbillies were destined to become the graduating class of 1950. A more spunky 'n confident class never before entered the portals of Dogpatch High. High in spirit and eagerly in quest of new worlds to conquer we looked confidently toward the future and the wonderful triumphs to come. Proud we were of our past accomplishments achieved throughout our Jr. High days. There were the two county basketball championships which were won, the last season being a glorious, undefeated one which brought as 1t's reward a large, beautiful trophy. Then, too, there were our successes at the carnival and our enjoyable assembly rograms. Yes, the future looked very bright as we took our place as lowly Freshmen of the student body. Waiting to greet and encourage us through our first year in high school were our Freshmen advisors, Mrs. Wehagen and Mr. Bchaot. As Our first bit of high school legislation we chose King Klllln as our class president. Harvey Murphey as vice-president and Jean Burke as secretary-treasurer rounded cut our group of class officers. The excitement and expectation which we had learned to associate with the annual school carnival engulfed us late in October. We decided on a ski ball geneessien, and with the help of the boys in shop class who built a sturdy sk1 ball run, we made a nice profit while having a lot of fun. The winter passed quickly and soon spring and the One Act Play Festival was upon us. Mr. Rodd, whom we all respected and admired, was chosen as director of our first play 'The True In Beart'. This play starring Bob Wellman with Jerry Dickerson, Wayne Ghristner, Ed Feffer, Tom White, Jane Finch, and Pat Fahey surprised the entire school by taking first place over our upperclassmen and winning the coveted plaque. Days, weeks, months flew swiftly by and before we knew it our Freshmen year was over and we were full fledged Sophomores. Sophmores, the beginning of our second year in high school. Wayne Chrlstner was elected to pilot us through the trials and tribulations of our Bophmore yean Dave Hayes was elected vice-president with Ed Feffer as secretaryand King Klllin treasurer. Mrs. Wehagen was once again our co-advisor along with Hr. Peshek. shoes two faculty members were to be our devoted advisors throughout our high school career. The carnival was once again our first big event and once again we chose the ski ball run as our concession. A newly added attraction wasthe dodgem which provided great fun throwing soft ballsat the heads of our classmates. As was our custom we entered the social aspect of high school life in a big way with our Sadie Hawk1n's Dance. We shall never forget the fun we had with the girls chasing the boys throughthe halls. As an added bit of trimming the tickets were little brown Jugs and cider and donuts were served. In February we pre- sented the Valent1ne's dance, another big success. The gym was gally decorated with lace, hearts, and colored streamers and everyone had a wonderful time. Soon lt was March and one act play time. For our BBGOHQ try at the plaque we chose 'Andante' starring Bob Wellman and Marge Zerger with Jerry Dickerson, Wayne Ohristner, and Carole Weiland. Once again Bob Wellman accepted the pla ue as a token of victory. In the spring we ordered our beautiful class rings. gt was a long and eventful year so we all welcomed summer vacation. We had reached the half way mark and were now eagerly eyeing the day when we would become Seniors. As we entered our Junior year we elected Bob Wellman to guide our destiny. Dave Hayes was re-elected vice-president with King Iillln as treasurer and Virginia Kublk taking over the office of secretary. November and carnival time. Although we continued the dodgem stand we dropped the ski ball run in favor of a more profitable turkey raffle. Next came our popular annual Sadie Hawk1n's Dance complete once again with colorful decorations and appropriate refreshments. Because our class was full of dramatic talent we eagerly awaited the Junior three act play. 'Beyond The Horizon' was chosen and the cast included class- Yu- W fx- .

CN' ' A 1' no vw- Af U5,,. 7 X members Wayne Chrlstner, Bob Wellman, Allen Bormann, and Marge Zerger The acting as good, the scenery beautiful and the play was enjoyed by all. ln April we presented an Aprll Showers Dance.The gym was beautifully decorated with rainbow colored streamers, small white picket fences, flowers, and a large craps paper umbrella which hung from the ceiling. We will never forget the work that went into the colorful decorations for our dances but we enjoyed the work and the beautiful setting made it worth our while. Soon after, the One Act Play Festival was here again and we were the class to beat. But there was no stopping our play 'Four Hundred Nights' starring Allen Bormann, Marge Zerger, Jerry D1ckerson,and Wayne Chrlstner with Jane Taylor, Virginia Kublk, Laverne Shifter, Bob Wellman, and Tom White. 'Four Hundred Nights' combined a wonderful play with superb actlng and skillful directing and as Allen Bormann accepted the plaque we became the only class in history to win three one act play festivals. Ae our Junior year drew to a close we busied ourselves preparing for the Junior-Senior Prom which we held at the Lakewood Jr. Chamber of Commerce building. Because of the successful events which we had sponsored we had become the richest class in the school's history, and were all able to provide our Senior companions with a fine prom as a farewell gesture. It was now again time to close the book on another year. We looked foreword to the following fall for we were now Seniors, our goal was ln sight. In September we gathered together to start out on the last long lap of our high school adventure. Dave Hayes was elected to guide us through our eventful senior year. Doug Thomas was elected vice-president, Marge Zerger was secretary, and King Killin was once again our choice for treasurer. The days flew by and before we knew lt, November and the carnival was upon us. There was fun for all and prizes galore as our 1ntell1gent auto booth proved both popular and finan- cially successful. November was also the month of our Senior play, a hilarious comedy entitled 'Arsenic and Old Lace'. Seniors featured in the cast were Wayne Chrlstner, Ray Meyers, Bob Wellman, Allen Bormann, Doug Thomas, and B111 and Wally Novak. Our annual Sadie Hawk1n's Day Dance proved as popular as ever with the students as they turned out Ln large numbers to enjoy the games and dancing In December we sponsored the annual Christmas Formal, the 'Snowball'. Decora- tions were-beautlful with large glittering snowflakes, blue and white streamers, and an enormous snowball which hung from the ceiling ornamentlng the scene. I January we began to work on the 1950 'Eaglet'. We elected Wayne Chrlstner our Editor and dug ln determined to produce the best annual in the history of our school. We were constantly reminded that our school days were rapidly coming to an end as we ordered our caps and gowns, name cards, and graduation announce- ments. Coming into the home stretch we prepared to defend our one act play championships. We chose as our play a fantastic drama 'Sky Fodder' starring Allen Bormann,Bob Wellman, and Jerry Dickerson, and dlrected by Wayne Christner Although the play impressed the audience it failed to lmpress the judge as the Juniors won the plaque and we took a close second. Hay, and with the end of our high school career just around the corner, the Juniors treated us to the first annual Junior-Senior dinner banquet ln the school 'cafeter1a. The following Saturday night was our prom which was held at beautiful Fairview Community Cabin We will never forget the swell time that we had. June seventh was here at last. Soon commencement exercises were over and we had received our diplomas, become alumni, and had said good-bye to Dogpatch we silently wonder if we shall ever meet such loyal friends or enjoy life so fully as we did during those wonderful years at dear old Dogpatch High -Iii HSN W N - J S , A ' S A AN Lu 1 I -.
