Dover High School - Tiger Yearbook (Dover, NJ)

Page 10 text:

a Excited, but scared, 200 freshmen assembled at Dover High School. In that first hectic year, we got a full share of lipstick, showers, elevator-rides, and all the other experiences that go with being a freshman. On the other hand, the year left pleasant memories. The main one was our successful Valentine's Day Party where our energetic adviser. Miss Elena Haviar, helped us to get acquainted. Our freshman officers were: president, John Ackerman; vice-president, Phyllis Winch; secretary, William Gannon; treasurer, Kenneth Miller. In our sophomore year, we were beginning to get into the various activities. Feeling very superior, we took every opportunity to haze the freshmen. Evidences of fine leadership and athletic ability already began to appear in our work and play. Our class officers for this year were: president, Chick Jump; vice-president. Bill Hall; secretary, Maxine Schroed-er; treasurer, Sophie Ruiz. The class adviser was Mr. Rino Rastelli. As juniors, we started our year right by electing Bill Hall as our class president. He was aided by Bob DeWitt as vice-president, Lois Marshall as secretary, and John Ackerman as treasurer. The first major thing we did was to select those all-important class rings. The year then passed happily and quickly till spring came. With spring comes romance and with romance came our prom. Mrs. Muriel Anderson ably supervised us in planning a prom no one will ever forget. The end of our junior year also saw us carrying on a hectic campaign for Student Government officers. The result of a very close rice netted Bob DeWitt the presidency of the Student Government. September 1948—and we walked into D. H. S. as proud, proud seniors. However, we were taken down a few pegs when we realized how much work there was in store for us. In this last and most well remembered year, we also managed to find time for everything. Members of our class worked hard and distinguished themselves in sports, studies, and all the other activities. Our officers for this important year were: Bob Kaplan, president; Dick Laverty, vice-president; Grace Smith, secretary; Bob Slack, treasurer. Mr. Rino Rastelli was our hard working adviser. This concludes in a nutshell the history of our class — a great class, well worth remembering throughout the coming years. Class of '49 Page 6
