SEN R CLASS HISTORY On September 2, 1941, twenty-two eager first graders entered school for the first time. With the excellent guidance of Miss Culver we became accustomed to school and its surroundings. After studying hard we completed eight years of our education and we were prepared to enter high school. On September 6. 1949, twenty boys and girls entered high school as Freshmen 'fgreeniesf' We elected our class officers for the year which are as follows: President, Don Lenhart, Vice-Presi- dent, Larry Brincefieldg Secretary, Jean Ann Walther, Treasurer, Ronnie Whetstoneg Class Reporter, Marie Greber, Student Council, Max Green and Tom Morgan. We were initiated by the Seniors sev- eral weeks after school started. We enjoyed the party very much. During the year Max Green with- drew and moved to East Liberty, Ohio. With his with-drawal we now had a class of nineteeen. During the year many boys played reserve basketball and three girls were cheerleaders. We also took part in the operetta, The Sunbonnet Girl , band and chorus. Our sponsor for this year was Mr. R. L. Leatherman. We began our Sophomore year with nineteen students.

We sponsored a skating party October 13, at the Dixie Roller Rink. This year we sold refreshments at the ball games to raise funds for our senior trip to which we are looking forward. Our Baccalaureate Services were held on May 17, at the Buckland Congregational Christian Church with Rev. Denlinger, serving as pastor. On May 21, our twelve years of eager studying was climaxed by our Commencement. Ralph Beck gave the Commencement address. During our high school days we took part in many activities. Among them were band, chorus, basketball, cheerleading, F.F.A., class plays, and many others. Now as our school days are soon coming to an end, we will remember the many experiences we had together and they will live in our memories for a long time. Our Senior trip will probably be the last time we shall all be together. This trip will take us to Washington and New York.
