Glass History The next item on our program was the presentation of the Junior play, Have a Heart , under the direction of Lois Acker. Finally, before ending our Junior year, we entertained the Seniors at the Juniorsenior Prom with music furnished hy J ack Hasler and his orchestra. Ar last our destination was reached and we were arriving at usenior-Summit . Ten students alighted from the plane to find Jean Wagner ready to lead us through our last year of high school. The first important thing we did was to display what acting ahil- ity we had in our Senior play entitled Mama's Angel Child. Ir tumed out to be a grand success. Then Christmas suddenly crept up on us and a chicken dinner was held in the Fire Hall for the enjoy- ment of the Senior Class. We did many other traditional senior ac- tivities such as taking our place in sports and selling candy through- out the school. . In order that we might have a permanent record of many of our school activities we decided to have a yearbook: this was to he a printed volume rather than a rnimeographed annual.-One of the things which we have looked forward to during our high school career was the senior class trip. and we decided to go to New York.

Gloss l'lLsto1:'y Flight three leaving in tive minutesu was the first cry we heard as we waited to boa,-C1 the big transport plane that wasto carry us to our destination., usenior-Summitn. This was in the fall of 1943 and the twenty-six passengers were headed for their first stop, Freshman-Base . As we seated ourselves, we were rather nervous and our adviser, Eva June Smith., had quite a time with us: but presently we began to talce an interest in things. To pass the time we elected the following officerszspresident., Harry Shirlcg Vice President. Merle Stoltzfus: Secretary, Ploribel Gordon: and Treasurer, Mary Rhoads. Seven of the students also became quite active in sports. The next stop on the schedule was Sophomore Village . How- ever, before we landed, eleven students and one teacher became air sick and had to bail out. That left fifteen students without an adviser until Edna Dilger boarded the plane. Officers were again elected as follows: President, David Rapp: Vice President, Mary McNeal: Sec- retary, Arlene Byler: and Treasurer, Mary Alice Eshelman. This time we chose our class colors, flower, and motto. We also tried to earn some money by selling chocolate rnillc, and for the enjoyment of all the students we sponsored two roller slcating parties. Before stopping at njuniorvilleu four more students had import- ant business to attend so they bailed out leaving eleven of us with as the previous year. To increase our funds we decided to sell potato chips and Christmas cards. By some strange coincidence a salesman was on board selling beautiful class rings. He finally sold us on the idea of buying them. ' Dorothy Graff as our adviser. The class officers remained the same I twenty six
