CLASS 1-HSTCRY 1943 - 1944 - 1945 1946 ln September, 1941, an excited group oi eighth graders, eager to begin their studies under the supervision of Mr. Ernest Stewart, entered the E. C. H. S. building. At the beginning of the year there were thirty-nine pupils but by the end of the year there were thirty-two. We spent a very enjoyable day at Wingenroth's Meadow on the last day of school. Returning in September, 1942, we had a class of thirty-two pupils with Mr. Grove as our home room teacher. We were still new to the moving from Class to Class and rather awed by the rules of the High School but we soon got over this and lived up to our name as Freshmen. Most of us were very anxious to join the Clubs and we could be seen walking through the hall to go to classes in fantastic clothing and bearing all signs of initiations. During the year we were excited as all Freshmen were over the Silver Freshman rings. The last day of school was spent going to the Ephrata Park on our bicycles and roaming around finding things to do to enjoy ourselves. As Sophomores a group of twenty-four pupils entered the high school in the fall of 1943. This year our home room teacher was Miss Witmyer. Around the middle of the year we were all glad to have Mable Shiffer enter our class. We started the activities of the year by having a hayride on September 22nd. Later we had a Christmas party. We concluded the school year by going to Wingenroth's Meadow where we all had a swell time. This year we decided to have a reunion and during the summer we all went on a picnic and reviewed the fun we all had during the year. We entered the lunior year in 1944 with sixteen people and if you ask Mrs. Fickes, our home room teacher, we were good boys and girls this year. This year we got charge of the candy sales from the Seniors in March. We also had sales at all plays. 12 Ri..-

mm -.--..---- Q------Ko-Ka-Le EUGENE SVVARTZ Nicknzunc- Swm'tzic Although most people in E. C. High think of SWartzie as bashful, the Senior Class knows a quite different side ot him tor we had more of a chance to get acquainted. All the Senior girls agree that he is very courte- ous and he never, that is hardly ever, teases them. It there is a disturbing factor in class lite, you can be sure it was not introduced by this charming black-haired boy from Rein- holds. Good luck, Swartzie. We'll miss you. ARLENE WIEST Nicknzune-NlViestyu It ever there was a Well-liked person, it is Arlene Wiest. This clever female manages to steer a neutral course as tar as any dis- agreements are concerned. Wiesty shows her school spirit in all manner of ways. Especially did she show vast school spirit and ability in her captaincy ot the cheer- leaders. VVe're sure she will make good in whatever she attempts. --QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ -., .g2f,-ipg..- Senior Class oi 1946 President .,.,,,,,,,,,.,,..i..,...,,,,...,,,...,,.,,,.,.,,,, Arthur Graybill Vice President ....,,. ........

.czlcc -::::: .::: CLASS HISTORY CContinuedl -. The greatest event of our lunior year was preparing for the Iunior and Senior Prom held every year. After we had everything ready we all had to hurry home and get ready for the big evening. Everybody had a very nice time at the prom. This year on the last day of school we all went to Hershey Park with Mrs. Fickes as chaperon. We had a swell time and luckily we got off the jack rabbit and other amusements safely. This year we again decided to have class meeting during the summer. We all met at Arthur Graybill's place during the summer. ln September, 1945, we entered the Senior year, our greatest year, with a class of fifteen. This year we had as our home room teacher, Mr. Fyock, that handsome agriculture teacher. This year we were very glad when we got our Senior class rings and pennants and hats. We know everybody envied the kids with green and gold hats on going from one class to another. On March eighth and ninth we presented the Senior play, l Know Your Secret. Everybody from Snoopy, the Maid, to Marta Kytle played their parts very well. During the middle of the year we were very sorry to lose Dick Unruh. Activities of the year were the Senior play, operetta, Iunior and Senior Prom, Class night, Baccalaureate, Commencement, and finally the trip to New York. We are all looking forward to this trip with great expectation. 5 1, ,Q 'X ::::ro4::::::boooo4::::::::::::::::::::::roooo4::::::::::r1:::::::::: 13 Eh-
