 By D. Anne Kieffer As Freshmen, we started on high and have been speeding ever since. Choosing the lead- ers for this year we made Dean Hildebrand, President; Kenneth Holtzapple, Vice-Presi- dent; Janet Strayer, Secretary; and Norma Blessing, Treasurer. When the townspeople started a move- ment to build a new gymnasium, our class immediately set to work to raise funds. We had a successful “soup sale” in which all -eag- er Freshmen participated. That same Fall, our class worked feverishly on the “49’ers” project for the Hallowe’en Parade, only to be left without mules or wagon as the parade was forming. We closed the school year with an enjoy- able trip to Hershey. The transition from Freshmen to Sopho- mores changed our clothes, our minds and our characters, but failed to increase the di- mensions of our heads. At the beginning of our Sophomore year, we elected the follow- ing officers; President, Dean Hildebrand; Vice-President, Eugene Geesey; Secretary, Faye Burkins; Treasurer, Dorothy Spangler. Student Council Representatives were Cath- erine Feltenberger and Walter Daugherty. Our class again journeyed to Hershey as the school term ended. In our Junior year it was impossible to ig- nore the importance of the work confronting us. To us was allotted the task of proving that we had gained sufficient experience from our past years in High School to entitle us to our future name of “Seniors”. Officers for our third year were: President, Eugene; Vice- President, Dean Hildebrand; Secretary, Nor- ma Blessing; Treasurer, Dorothy Spangler. Student Council Representatives were Eu- gene Geesey, Janet Strayer and Marilyn Rost. This was an important year, for in it, we chose our class rings and pins. Another “soup sale” was sponsored by our class for the ben- efit of the gym fund, and our quota was reached. The class presented the play enti- tled “Bargain Bride”, under the direction of Miss Gloria McDowell. This year’s social ac- tivities came to a close with the Junior-Sen- ior Prom, electing Thomas Tome and Grace Stump, as King and Queen. Some were sad, some were glad, but all re- alized that we were entering High School for the last time. We organized this year by electing as officers: Kenneth Holtzapple, President; Anne Kieffer, Vice-President; Nor- ma Blessing, Secretary; Dorothy Spangler, Treasurer, Student Council Representatives; Walter Daugherty, Dean Hildebrand, Janet Strayer and Marian Zeigler. The play, “Me and My Shadow”, was presented by the class, with Miss Gloria McDowell directing. With the “Spectator” going to press, we have reached our final accomplishment. The work of looking forward shall pause, and we will make a reminiscent survey of the past. Herein, we have endeavored to tell you what that survey reveals. The scenes are not all alike; some induce smiles, others something different, but whatever their nature, we re- call them with the same fond recollection. So ends the History of the Class of 1949. 29
