CLASS HISTORY As the graduating class of 1959, we shall always remember the wonderful times we have spent together at Donegal. We entered Donegal in the eighth grade, finding a large task ahead of - becoming acquainted with the rest of our classmates. However, in a few weeks we were amazed to discover that we had become acquainted with many new friends. This friendship grew, as the Roman Empire once grew. As sophomores we elected our first class ofiicers: president - Don White, vice presi- dent - Barry Brandt, Secretary - Pat Brenner, treasurer - Robert Brandt, historian - Carolyn Showalter. This year we also purchased and proudly displayed our class jackets of green and white. Our Junior year held much activity in store. For our officers we chose the following: president - Don White, vice president - Ronald Sager g secretary - Marlene Metzlerg treasurer - Larry Pardoe, historian - Darla Kulp. Soon after the beginning of the school year, we purchased our class rings with the Donegal emblem, featuring the Donegal Church and Witness Tree. Our play, Just Ducky,', directed by Mr. H. Martin Shenk and Mr. Robert B. Smith, was a great success. Another successful achievement of the year was the prom, where we entertained the seniors. The theme of the prom was focused on the Oriental countries and featured a large Oriental garden and a teahouse. When September, 1958, came, we, as seniors, found it hard to believe that this would be our last year at Donegal. The following class officers were soon selected: president - Barry Barnhartg vice president - Ronald Sager, secretary - Judy Heisey, treasurer - Larry Pardoeg historian - Darla Kulp. The first responsibility we undertook as seniors was the operation of a food stand at the Mount Joy Farm Show. On October 22 we enjoyed a class trip to Washington, D. C. Our senior play, Jane Eyre, directed by Miss Catharine G. Zeller, was held on November 21 and 22 and proved to be another big success. We, as seniors, were again in charge of the school newspaper and Youth Day in Government. It was also a pleasure for us to prepare the fifth edition of the Emerald with Pat Brenner and Carolyn Showalter as co-editors. At this time our Class Day, Baccalaureate, and Commencement plans are being made. It seems beyond realization that we will soon be leaving Donegal as graduates. We have learned that Rome was not built in a day, and we know that the spirit of our class has been built and rebuilt during the five years we have spent in Donegal - never to falter or fall!
