, After twelve long years of effort and toil, we, the modern 49ers, have finally struck gold- our diplomas. By the time eighty-two of us reached Locust Street as Freshmen, we were weary from our hard work in the grades and so decided to mix business with pleasure for the next four years. Our first big thrill was our privilege of sharing a dance with the upper classmen: we were now inside dancing instead of outside gazing wist- fully through the windows! One of the fond memories from our Christmas party is the look of surprise on Chuck McCracken's face when he was kissed under the mistletoe. Early in our second year we discovered that we were blessed with such wits for should we say half-wits?l as Milford Bowman, Larry Rid- dle, and Jim Petrone. For the first time we acted as hosts at a dance which was presented under the very appropriate name-Sophomore Shen- anigans. With much fun and some suffering, a maiority of our girls were initiated into the Tri- Hi-Y. At the end of the year shelf day found us taking the juniors' places with much pride. We had now risen higher in society and supposedly in intelligence. We had taken on harder studies and were paving a way to our future. Many of us celebrated our first formal dance at the prom we gave for the Seniors. We thought we were really B. T. O.'s staying out till ' glam, OFHCERS President , Joan Lininger Vice-President , . .

As we looked forward to the coming year, we could hardly believe that we were so near the end of our iourney. When the realization strikes us that this is our last year together, we know that we shall always remember our classmates as we have seen them in our high school days. There's Fritzie Smith as our fast stepping maiorette who led our band to all the football games, where our senior foot- ball players made their final bows in front of the grand stand. Marietta Tate and Trudie Hum- mel were our ever present cheerleaders at foot- ball and basketball games. Violet Norman, Elizabeth Sass, Willa Jean Solley, and Bettie Lucas will be remembered among our square dancing stars, Dick Hilleman, Jack Riddle, and Hobart Bell as Mr. Miller's problem boys. Speech class brought out the talents of Dolores Scolere and Joan Lininger as orators. Yes, we members of the class of '49 have struck gold in our high school years. Now, with regret, we leave behind the familiar scenes and pleasant memories of the past, and, with hope and confidence, turn our faces toward those high- er hills out beyond the limits of our present lives. There we, like the Forty-Niners of old, shall seek the gold of our future success.
