Senior Class History Eleven years and some odd months ago, fourteen proud, bright-eyed youngsters entered Chatham School under the watchful eyes of Miss Emma Webber. Of course, those youths were the Senior Class of 1951. Days, weeks, months, and years passed. There were many changes of faces, rooms and teachers, and many frolicking times together. Pupils came and went, and by the time we entered Junior High, we had six girls and six boys. One year passed - then two. On September of 1947, we started on the final stretch of our education together. More strange faces and rooms were encountered. We began our high school career with five boys and six girls. A very eventful year followed, but with the start of the next year, we found our class decreased in size -- we had only three boys and five girls. The Sophomore year passed quickly and before we knew it, we were Juniors. This time, there were two welcome additions to our class; Donna Marie Dieckman, and Bob Garver. This was a very active year for us. Besides the usual things, we had a paper drive, put on a carnival, and went in con- junction with the Seniors to put on the play, ''THE KISSING LINK, under the able direction of Mr. Chaffee. It was a huge success. The Junior- Senior Banquet was held on May 21, at Vera's Hungaria in Media. After- ward, we went to the Lakewood Little Theatre and enjoyed the play, ''KISS AND TELL. Our Junior year went swiftly, and the long awaited twelfth year started. It began with the pleasant surprise of having Joe Stephan, an exchange student from Germany, added to our class. The year was full of happenings, start- ing with another paper drive. We then put on the play, ''MISS JIMMY, under the direction of Miss Overson. We later put on a spaghetti supper with Mrs. Jenkins assisting us. On April 13, 1951, we had the pleasure of being the guests of the Juniors at the Junior-Senior Banquet held at the Spring Valley Country Club in Elyria. May 18, 1951, found us giving another play. It was under the co-direction of Mr. Peters and Mr. Chaffee. It, too, was a big success. Joan Casper and Janet Hofstetter are the only ones of the graduating class who have attended Chatham School for the full twelve years. Special honors were earned by Janet Hofstetter for four years of varsity cheerleading; Norma Barnhart for being crowned ''Miss Lodi Hospital of 1950; and Bill Klein for earning his fourth letter in football.
