Senior Class History Four years have passed since we, the graduating class of 1949, became freshmen in 1945. As the time for graduation draws near, we look back over the four years at Codorus Township High School with a feeling of great joy and satisfaction. When we first began our high school career, we were all very shy, but as time went on this shyness wore off leaving in its place a great deal of energy and enthusiasm. We are content to believe that as students of Codorus Township High School, we have made some worthwhile contributions to the school which we will be proud to call our alma mater. In our freshman year we started out with the class enrollment of Hfty-six pupils. After our class organized we elected as ofhcers the following: president, Treva Myers, vice president, Robert Strausbaugh, secretary, Betty Bohr, treasurer, Betty Markle, reporter, Lois Renoll, historian, Betty Wildasin. We chose as our motto, Patience is the key to success,', class flower, red carnation, class colors, blue and white. These colors were changed in our junior year to Navy blue and gold. All but eight of our class returned as sophomores. For this year the officers were: president, Francis Sterner, vice president, John Newcomer, secretary, Betty Bohr, treasurer, Robert Straus- baugh, reporter, Treva Myers, historian, Delores Rohrbaugh. This year the boys and girls became active in athletics. In the Biology books that were exhibited at the York Fair, Joyce Messerly won first prize and Ethel Wehrly won second. For our junior year the class officers were: president, Delores Rohrbaugh, vice president, Nevin Moul, secretary, Betty Bohr, treasurer, John Newcomer, reporter, Joyce Messerly, historian, Lois Sipe. The main highlight of this year was the presentation of our play entitled, 'QTempest and Sunshine. More of the boys and girls took part in sports and helped make the Glen Echo a success last year. When we returned as seniors, we were sorry to see that there were only thirty-four members left in the class. The officers were: president, Nevin Moul, vice president, Joyce Messerly, secretary, Betty Bohr, treasurer, Geraldine Bortner, reporter, Sara Kling, historian, Lois Sipe. This year we presented the play entitled, Don't Take My Penny. With the help of Mrs. Grace Heindel, our class adviser, the play proved to be a success. On February 3, we wrote our D. A. R. essays, I-lumanity's Greatest Need Todayf' Betty Bohr, Isabelle Keeney and Joyce Messerly wrote the three best essays. Although we have lost quite a few members, thirty-four still remain for graduation. We realize now that we must begin to work alone. We are grateful to the faculty who laid before us knowledge and experience and to our parents, we express our sincere appreciation for standing by us although we have stretched their patience almost to the limit. To those of us who are planning to go to college and to those who don' t know what the future will hold in store for them, always remember that Patience is the key to success.

Navy Blue and Gold When we came to Codorus High We thought our last days had gone by. Can anyone see as being told The class has chosen Navy Blue and Gold? They have said better days shall come As some study, others will run, W'e have chosen as you can see Our colors and true they shall be. Navy Blue and Gold are precious to us, You can not find them in the dust. We may sometimes have faults and all, But we get by them in no time in all. N-is A-is Y-is fame. Classes look at us as the forty-niners, We simply turn and show we are minders. Our class gave the 'lpatience to Success, We shall let the l'Key for the rest. Some may tell of silly jokes Which others it provokes. The teachers as our class finds Are always working their minds. You may see as of yore Our colors are in store, We like to keep in our minds Navy Blue and Gold as ,49 finds. BETTY WILDASIN for the notions we had about school. for ambition, and not to fool. V-is for the victories we had in our games. for the yelling of our teams on to B-is for the books we have studied so true. L-is for loyalty to teachers and classmates IO0. U-is for unity, we shouldnit let that out. E'-is for effort, please ask Mr. Trout. G-is for goodwill to our teachers so true. O-is for often the times we felt blue. L-is for labor, love and so forth. D-is for doing to show your our worth. RUBY BRILLHART We entered Codorus as freshmen bold, And chose for our class colors, Navy blue and gold. All were excited, happy, and gay, When told our jackets were on the way. One day a large box was brought up the hill, And everyone knew it with jackets was filled. There was a hustle and bustle, and no one could sit U61 Till they tried on their jackets to see if they fit. The next excitement, and flash of the year, Was when they told us our hats and pennants were here. There was the same procedure as before, Opening the box to see what was in store. And now as we leave the school, quite bold, We will always remember, Navy blue and gold. RUBY BRILLHART
