Senior Class History On account of the firm insistence of our 8th grade teachers and a passing score from the 8th grade examination, a group of 71 bewildered students assembled as Freshmen in September 1944, in our hoped-to-be Alma Materf, There was much enjoyment in getting ac- quainted with our new home-room teachers, Mrs. Sonfier and Miss Kin f. The next thin Y with Ie which we were plagued was a number of books. Could anything come from them? we asked. Our first formal matter of business was the election ot officers who were: President .,......i. ...,...., E dwin McKinley Vice President . Margaret Reinsel Secretary ..,., ,. . ,,i,.i, Thomas Kerr Treasurer ...., . , . Martha Adamson At the time of initiation, we had never heard of the New Lookv but nevertheless we had it. The Sophomores, for some reason, enforced a sudden but short-lived change in the mode of dressing. This initiation made us all the more eager to become Sophomores when it would be our turn to do the initiating. VVe also want to remember as Freshmen the success of our skating parties and our dance. We pause here to express our sincere regret that Martha Adamson, one of our leading class- mates, was killed in an airplane crash on August 9, 1945. September 1945, brought 66 of our 71 Fresh- men back to go on with their course of study and this year take a step further to be 'iSunny Sopho- moresf, This year Miss Evans and Mr. Riley were our advisers and we elected the following offi- cers: President , ,. , . , ..,. . Clair Miller Vice President , Richard Hildebrand Secretary .,... . ,.,... Margaret Reinsel Treasurer .. . . Eugene Daugherty Our activities included the sponsoring of dances after the basketball games and several skating parties. VVe had refrained from our timidity by this time and joined the other students in basketball, cheerleading, orchestra, band, choruses, and many other activities. We left this year eager to return as Jolly luniorsv next year. In ,46, we returned to welcome many new students from Hawthorne and Corsica which gave us a total of 77 members in our class when We were capably guided by Mr. Kahle, Miss Coon, and Mr. Aaron and our new officers: President .,., . .. ..,,. Chauncey Shick Vice President . Ronald Skidmore Secretary .,..... .. Margaret Reinsel Treasurer ,. ,,.,.. ,..... .....,.,. I c ihn Mohney A big event in this yearis activities was the sponsoring of the movie, To Each His Own , in which we surpassed every other class in profit.

Senior Class History We also had a Halloweien party which proved very entertaining. Our New Year's treat was our long-awaited class rings. What a group of happy Juniors! The main event of our Junior year was the sponsoring of our Prom. The date was set for May 2, 1947. The Juniors elected Margaret Rein- sel as Queen and she was crowned by June White, Queen of 1947.7 Clair Miller was chosen as king. Blue and pink worked in our color scheme and the theme Stardust,, was portrayed by the decorations. The Queen chose as her Maid of Honor, Kelly Ann Kesner and in her court: Joan Miller, Jeanne Smith, Elva Mae Collett, Dorothy Kennedy, Evelyn Rosenquest, Virginia Reynolds, Joanne Fitzsimmons, and Edna Martz. The king chose as his court: John Mohney, Vance Burns, Darrell Terwilliger, Edwin McKin- ley, Robert Allison, Eugene Daugherty, Ronald Skidmore, and Thomas Kerr. After the crowning of the queen, Fredi Rico and his orchestra played as their first number a request, Stardustv, which suited the theme of our Prom. Our class sponsored a school newspaper started as a Junior Class project and elected the staff. The Junor Class of '49 is continuing this project so our pioneer work is reaping its reward. In September 1947, fifty-six of our Juniors who wished to complete their high school educa- tion returned with Miss Stewart and Miss Ment- zer as our advisers. Some members of our class have attended this school for twelve years of its existence. We are really the uiirstv class to receive our complete education at C-L. Our oflicers this year include: President ...........,........ Edwin McKinley Vice President ...,....,.,. Ronald Skidmore Secretary ,.,.....,.... .. Margaret Reinsel Treasurer ., .... ...,,.,. E ugene Daugherty On September 26, 1947, we had a big re- union, The Carnival Dancef for our alumni of ,47 and also the Sophomores, Juniors and Sen- iors who had to leave us to go to Summerville High School. Jeanne Raybuck was elected Queen of the Carnivalv by the High School and was crowned by Betty Lyle. Her attendants were Dorothy Kennedy, Elva Mae Collett, Joanne Fitzsimmons, Kelly Ann Kesner, Virginia Rey- nolds, Mary Anne Hedrick. Edwin McKinley, Darrell Terwilliger, Donald Reynolds, Ronald Skidmore, Eugene Daugherty, Robert Allison. John Mohney and Ed Summerville were her guards. Our big project this year is the yearbook which at this time is progressing very well. The .Advertising Committee has raised 81084.00 which will help considerably with the expense of it. The magazine sales with Captains Edna Martz, Eugene Daugherty, Betty Lyle, Kelly Ann Kesner proved to be a success. Robert Allison received a pen and pencil set as a prize for his meritorious selling. Our profits totaled 829556. Our Christmas card sales also added to our treasury, topping any other classes known. A total proiit of 95355.26 was realized. We have chosen our class play, A Case of Springtimev and we are sure it will also be a success and add to our profits. Our Senior Class has been very active this year and have realized 81,300 to date. Finan- cially our class has been very successful-It leads all classes in the history of the school in finan- cial activities. Yes, this is the history of the Class of '48. Those days of ---- Wish I were out of here, I'll be so glad to be a seniori' ---- are here and almost gone. Soon class parties, our big basketball games, dances, and many other activities, will only be memories--Memories weive decided ,we never want to forget. H
