OUR BflBV 2S

THE SEniOR As we, the Class of 1951, turn back the pages of our past years together, we can surely feel satisfied of a job well done. And as we come to the end of our school days together, we feel a strong bond among us as schoolmates and as a class. A stronger bond, however, probably exists between the class and its teachers, for without their fine teach- ing and their wise judgments and leadership we probably would have literally “dug our own graves. Therefore, let us turn “Father Time backwards for a little while and look into the past. Upon entering our first year of high school as confident but very unwise freshmen, we found ourselves under the sympathetic guid- ance of Misses Barr and Perry. To lead us through the school year, we placed ourselves under the capable hands of Jon Smeigh, president; John Philip Gable, vice presi- dent; Shirley Huson, secretary; and Ruth Holtzapple, treasurer. We also were repre- sented in the student governing body by Donna Stabley and Martha Rojahn. As a class project for the gym fund we decided to hold a paper drive which was quite successful. We also held what we called a “pencil drive,” in which we sold pencils also for the gym fund. Then, to break up the monotonies and hardships of school- work, we held a thoroughly enjoyable hay- ride. After a rather busy and fruitful year as freshmen, we felt quite ready to go on as sophomores. Our year ended with a trip to Hershey, where, among the hot dogs, canoe rides, and other entertainments, the class said “adieu” to scholastic worries for the summer months. The next September found us once more b3ck in good old “Alma Mater. Once again the task of choosing our officers for the year confronted us. We finally chose as president, Don Flinchbaugh; vice president, Jon Smeigh; secretary, Shirley Huson; treasurer, Mary Baeckel; and student council repre- sentatives, Donna Stabley and Charles Geesey. Benefiting from the prudent judg- ments of Mr. Kehm and Mrs. Wagner, we sponsored, as our class project, a movie at the Dallas Theater. All proceeds went to the rapidly rising gym fund. In order to fatten our own class treasury we once again held a paper drive which was quite successful. As the break in our academic worries this year we chose to hold a skating party at the Playland rink. The party was thoroughly enjoyed by all. One of the high spots of the year, however, was the ceaseless attention given to the building of the new, modern gym. Once again we journeyed to Hershey at the close of the term, thus ending another year of our schooling. We returned the next fall saying bon jour to five new teachers and renewing acquaint- ance with everyone in general. With Miss McDowell and Miss Barr giving advice 30
