began our long journey seeking the gold of knowledge. We were an unorganized group of sixty-four members until, we became well enough acquainted to elect officers as follows: President - James Thompson; Vice-President - Marion Moser; Secretary - Maryrose Sommer, Treasurer - Charles R. Etling. Our guide for this part of our jour¬ ney was Mrs. Mary Keirn. SEPTEMBER 7 - Registration 8 - Classes started - nose to the grindstone again 14 - Fair Day - Hurrah . ' No school 17 - Football season opened - Doylestown there Girls ' Band appeared for the first time this year 24 - Millersburg there - scared them, but not enough The first great event of the year occurred for us when we were initiated into our covered wagon D. H. S. Turing this reception the many and varied talents of our membership were discovered as we participatedin the activities and stunts which the Seniors had assigned for us to perform. When the initiation was over, we were considered full time passengers in the covered wagon D. H. S. After an enthusiastic start, someone sug¬ gested that we have a party as a refresher activity. Everyone thought this was a pretty good idea. Bob Sword donated his land for a camp site. The caravan had a good time, and after consuming large portions of food, embarked on a hayride. This concluded the first stage of our journey. During our second year, which represented the sec¬ ond stage of our trip, thirteen passengers left our group to travel in different directions, but we gained seven new passengers. Of these seven, only one, Waneta Sho- walter, remained to graduate with us. OCTOBER 2 - Dover St. Joseph there - Yeah, Dalton.

Etling, and Marion Mo¬ ser. Our adviser for this stage of the trip was Miss Arline Shilling. v DECEMBER 4 - Strasburg there - Oh, well 17 - Doylestown here - Nice going 21 - Smithville there - over-confidence beat us 22 - Christmas program - such melodious music 24 - Christmas vacation - what sWeet words . ' During our second year we decided to take part in a few activities in the Sophomore camp. Eight of our members who were athletes played football, and seven played on the basketball team. We didn ' t have time for a party during this stage of our journey because the trail was hard and long. During this year we discovered something of great im¬ portance - we found the map to the mine which holds the gold of knowledge. The third section of our trip was begun with a new passenger - Hazeljean Sprunger - and s he remained with us to the end of the journey. For the Junior year we elected the following officers: President - Marion Mo¬ ser; Vice-President - Hazeljean Sprunger; Secretary - Lois Hranko; Treasurer - Donovan Hunsberger; Student Senate: Russell Baer, Waneta Showalter, and Tom Mc- Farren. Miss Vivian Douglas guided us through this part of our tour. Because of the great financial expense necessary for such a trip, we decided to give a play for the pur¬ pose of raising funds to continue our journey. We se¬ lected the play, You Can ' t Take It With You, which was under the direction of our class adviser. In the athletic division we were represented by six members on the football field, three members on the varsity basketball squad, and four members on the re¬ serve squad. It was in our third year we found the mine which holds the gold of knowledge. Inexperience preventeo us from uncovering this vein but, in spite of this, we made great progress. To celebrate the big event we in¬ vited the S en i ors to the Junior-Senior Banquet. After many suggestions from the helpful passengers, we deci¬ ded to hold the banquet in a Gypsy Camp. This year as Forty-niners, we finally struck the large vein of the gold of knowledge, but we could not capitalize upon this until certain requirements of tra¬ dition and authority were fulfilled. For the last stage of our journey we chose the following officers: Presi¬ dent - Marion Moser; Vice-President - Charles R. Etling Cont ' d. on p. 16 JANUARY 3 - End of vacation - back to work and worries 13 - Semester exams - Cram. ' Cram. ' Cram.
