I949 SENIIIB I Jg .Xp by f f 3 v SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Class istor R. CHRISTIAN D. MELLON T. stoss P. GEDMAN Many years ago, in the fall of '37, to be exact, approximately 300 pupils started off to that mysterious place,-school. Some went gayly, others unwillingly, neither knowing what was in store for them. Oh, how well those first few days are remembered. Many were the struggles we, as young students, had. Our troubles seemed so great to us when we were so small. From first we went on to second grade. Nothing spectacular happened there but in third grade, joy of joys. we were permitted to use ink. Itnagine, real pens! Then to top this off, we third graders had the honor and privi- lege of taking examinations. NVhat else could we have asked for? Our world seemed com- plete. Fourth grade came and went. A little of the novelty of attending school had worn off. All recess periods were hopefully anticipated. How litany times we longed to be outaof-doors instead of doing lessons. One of the main events of our younger years was the annual trip to visit the dental hygienist, at the Sen- ior High School, no less. How grand and large the building seemed. Finally we passed to junior High. just how, we haven't figured out yet. But we made it. Something always seemed to be going on, there. There were the first gym classes and basket and football games for some. For the young ladies, home economics was introduced into the curriculum. If you close your eyes and exercise your imagination, the odor of burning biscuits may be recalled. And, as be- fitting our station in life, we had a school paper. Quite a few of our Echo staff cut their journalistic teeth on the junior Highlights. President Vice President Secretary Many from our class attended the social party of the year, the ninth grade prom. After those carefree days, we entered the sacred doors of the Sr. High School with the solemnity and new found dignity befitting sophomores. After losing our way several times, we got into the swing of things. XVe didn't even mind if the seniors thought us below them. Perhaps we were too happy to notice. That was the year most of us traveled to Philadelphia to see the P.I.A.L. finals. Then we became jtmiors. I'Ve knew just about everything there was to know. XVe sat in class out of the kindness of our hearts. Our social activities increased, or were we just be- coming popular? The class of '49. That is what we are. Our chests are swelled with pride: seniors, at last. School work doesn't take up all our time now. XVe've joined many clubs which weren't opened to tts previously. And how we love it! Our football team defeated McKeesport 29-0. A day off for that feat! IVe shall never forget that game. As soon as the pig-skins were stored away, out came the basketballs. Never a dull mo- ment. Naturally we followed all the games. Then track and baseball season rolled around. Spring has come and our school life will soon be over. Because of the wear and tear of our class, this dear old building has been repainted. A new organ is being purchased, also. WVhat more could our hearts desire? Now graduation day has come. The many happy hours spent in school are only pleasant recollections. May we keep them with us always. Treasurer l- I 1 1 L 1 A 1
