CLASS HISTORY O OMEDAY in the future, we the class of ’50 will dust off our “Corinthian” and a nostalgic C3 feeling will overcome us when we look back to those happy, happy times of our high school years; and then we will reminisce and wonder and live through those never to-be-forgotten hap- penings again. In the fall of ’46 we were determined Freshmen. As it was all new to us, we plunged with enthusiasm into such interesting subjects as Algebra, Business and the live study of languages. Before anyone realized it we had taken our June exams and we were Sophomores. September rolled around again and we were settled in Study Hall with Miss Armstrong as our homeroom teacher. As we delved into the complex study of Biology, under the able tutoring of Mr. Vroman, many a blush was experienced by the uninitiated students. Ancient History opened to us a vista of fascinating facts and myths. Then came the thrill of becoming a Junior. The new semester brought a determination for really hard work. We had to plan to earn money for our Senior trip to Washington; by selling candy and coke, soliciting magazine sub- scriptions, and accomplishing an exceptionally good job by assembling the Corinthian of 49. We realized we were upper classmen when we were introduced into the higher spheres of English realm by our revered Mr. Palmatier. With equal zeal we assimilated Social Studies, Math, and electives such as Typing, Bookkeeping, and Homemaking. The crowning glory of the social functions of the Junior year, was the privilege of attending the Junior-Senior ball. Summer, September again, and then the status quo of being — a Senior! It involves dignity, responsibility, good example for others, and especially hard study. Along with our old stand- bys candy and coke we endeavored to finance our trip by selling Christmas cards and wrappings and greeting cards. We also did the difficult task of selling housenumbers to the townspeople. The credit of our success goes to the able guidance and advice of Mr. Folts. For the benefit of the Senior class the third in a series of Gilbert and Sullivan operettas “The Pirates of Penzance” was produced, by the English and Music departments. In the spring the comedy “Touch and Go” directed by Mr. Karstetter reaped great success for the newly organized Dramatics Club. Then came April 6th the red letter day. With Mr. and Mrs. Vroman as chaperones, we boarded the bus and started off on our weeks tour of our nations’ capitol and Broadway’s great white way. We visited the White House, Arlington Cemetery, Lincoln Memorial, and beautiful Mount Vernon, memorable sites and unforgettable memories still to be augmented with the view of Gotham. It thrilled us with its breath-taking skyscrapers, its brilliant white way, the quaintness of its Chinatown, the impressive atmosphere of Fifth Avenue, and the splendor of Rockfeller Center. To many of the Seniors the visit to Coney Island was a unique experience. Tired but happy we started back to Corinth richer with a deeper knowledge of things seen and done. And now we reach the zenith of a wonderful year, we must now look forward to the night of Commencements, and then on to the future happiness and prosperity of the whole class.
