President, Bill Huffer, Vice-President, Angie Miehls, Secretary, Pat Tanber, Treasurer, Sam Solomon. We Begin Our High School Days Letls go for a wall4 down memory lane and recall the first experiences of our high school life. September 7, 1949, was thatvery first day. l-low well every one can remember feeling like the little fish in the big, big ocean. How small we felt, yet so very proud to at last be a part of DeVilbiss High School. The thrill that we experienced as we went into the halls, the auditorium, the class room, and the stadium for our first DeVilbiss football game is still with us. ln October we were introduced to our first Fifty- lreaters' Party. l'low much we enjoyed the playing ofthe games, the dancing, the refreshments. Under the capable supervision of Miss Ursula Schmit, Mrs. Betty Raby, and Mr. Fred Breed monthly Freshman parties were held and each was agreed to be a huge success by everyone attending. ln November after we had received our grade cards we were ready to elect our class officers. Speeches, songs, parades, and banners bearing such slogans as 18 Save With Sam the Safe Guarding Soul announced the approach of the Freshman class elections. It was a spirited campaign, with the final victors Bill l'luffer, president, Angie Miehls, Vice-president, pat lanber, Secretary, and Sam Solomon, Treasurer. Exams were inevitable and came all too soon. We found, however, that they weren't really so bad as we had thought they would be and that they were worth taking for that two-day vacation at the end of the semester. Cn through the year we plodded, slowly absorbing the ways of the school, and it absorbing us. Some of us have started on our way up in our studies, some in clubs, and some in athletics. Our memories are rather few at present, but no one can deny that we have made a good start. We have survived the first year, and have found it not too bad. Now we are loolcing forward to next year when we will add more pages of memories to the scrap- boolc we are lceeping as we journey down memory lane.
