I948 ANNUAL SENIOR CLASS HISTORY 1944 - 1945 We were a group of thirty-one Freshmen sitting in our seats on that fall day in 1944. It was our first year in Senior High School and we sat proudly. Our future was before us. Unpredicted things would happen to this class in the years to come. In our first year as grown up ladies and gentlemen, we chose as our advisor, Miss Perry. For our class officers we elected Robert Markley, President, Lois Gerstenslager, Vice President, our Secretary and Treasurer was Virginia Foster, jean Carter and Harry Sonnedecker were our Student Council members. Our first grown-up party was a hay-ride. Gasser's woods was our destination. The memory of that event will long linger in all our minds. Another event of our Freshman year was the chapel program Little Red Riding Hood . The skit was written by a class member, Virginia Foster. During the year, six new members came to join our class. They were, Bonnie Steele, Norma Yoder, Margaret Lucas, Francis Steele, Robert Russel and Glenn Moore. The same year we lost two of our members. 1945 - 1946 Upon arriving at school on that existing day in 1945 we were presented with seats in the front of the study hall. We were bursting with happiness! When the time came to choose our advisor and officers we elected the fol- lowing: advisor, Miss Smith, president, Robert Markleyg vice president, Margaret Lucas, secretary and treasurer, Joanne Plankg student council members, Jean Carter and Roger Reese. Among other activities, the Sophomore class sponsored a square dance. We didn't have the luck to welcome any new members to our class this year. It seemed that luck was against us because we lost three members. Our class now totaled twenty-seven members. LPAGE THIRTEENJ

I948 ANNUAL. SENIOR CLASS HISTGRY fContinuedj 1 9 4 6 - 1 9 4 7 Another summer has passed and you see us now, a group of very intelligent students who have profited from two years in High School. We are now ready to carry on our duties as full-Hedged juniors. After choosing Mr. Robinson as our advisor we completed the task of electing our officers. The following were elected: for president, Robert Markleyg vice president, Margaret Lucas, for our secretary, Lois Gerstenslagerg treasurer, Bonnie Steele, jean Carter and Roger Reese represented us in the student council. We worked hard this year--having bake sales, picking up potatoes, and selling Christmas cards. We presented our class play A Case of Springtime on April 11. It turned out to be a great hit. The Seniors presented a beautiful bouquet of roses to us after the play. Our most memorable event of this year was the junior and Senior banquet. It was held at Dorns Country Housew. We received our green and white class sweaters, also our class rings this year. We lost several more members of our class this year, our total enrollment was now eighteen. All in all our junior year was quite successful and we left the 'Old Red School House' with a longing to return next year. 1947-1948 We were a group of eighteen, sitting proudly in our seats on that fall day in 1947. We were Seniors! After three years of climbing we had reached the top rung in the ladder. Our officers for this last unforgettable year are: President, Lois Gerstenslagerg vice president, Robert Markleyg secretary, Bonnie Steele, treasurer, Martha jane Fraryg our student council members for this year were jean Carter and Merle Beachy. For our class advisor we chose Miss Weimer. After weeks of hard work we gave our class play presentation, My Cousin From Texasu. It was a great success. Because of our successful square dance back in '45 we decided to sponsor another one. It was only one among the many events of our Senior year. As our school days come to a close we try to make the most of every one. Our memory will forever be associated with the 'Old Red School I-Iouse'. Humble, proud and thankful eighteen Seniors leave behind them the happy, happy school days, looking forward to our life which lies ahead. -Mary Jane Woods LPAGE FOURTEENJ
