Class History The events of the long and tiresome day came to a close, Rehearsals were finished at last. I had time for a brief nap before supper. I lay down and fell asleep almost immediately. Time seemed to have stopped. I na longer saw the familiar farms or the pleasant little town where l had lived. l heard a voice call out, Here comes the Florin bus g but to my surprise, instead of the familiar orange and black, there was nothing but a low-slung, two-wheeled chariot drawn by white horses. The charioteer was a stranger. His lone passenger alighted and came to meet me. Approaching me was the figure of a woman dressed in white. She had a laurel wreath about her head and carried a large scroll of papyrus in her left hand. Immediately I recognized her as Clio, the Greek Muse of History. We greeted each other, and I asked her if she had anything re- corded in her scroll from the Class of '46 She 'inrolled the scroll, stopping to read records of the Sophomore year, Robert Sload, Robert Rowe, Betty Arndt, Glenn Hoffman, and Mary Singer started the year as class officers. October lb, I9-13, Zeus, God of Rain, seemed displeased. Everyone was drenched in the down- pour of rain that accompanied our strawride. February 29, I944.

Clio unrolled the scroll further, coming now to the records of the Junior year. Here we found James Mayer, Glenn Hoffman, Mary Singer, and Betty Arndt leading the class, with Mr. Houseal and Miss Strickler serving as class advisers. ln October, Pan, God of Harvest, accompanied us on a strawride. Mr. and Mrs. Simmons were along as chaperones. We went to the Elizabeth- town movies and then the Farm Diner for a snack.

Once again Minerva, Goddess of Wisdom, chose Betty Arndt, Robert Rowe, and James Mayer to be inducted into the National Honor Society. Glenn Hoffman and Robert Sload were made coeeditors of the Beacon with Mary Singer as assistant editor. Thalia, the Muse of Comedy, was jubilant at the success of our Senior play, One Mad Night, with Mervin Hess and Betty Arndt portraying the leading roles. Glenn Hoffman and Robert Sload were ap- pointed by a student-faculty committee as co- editors of the Donegalian. James Mayer was appointed business manager and Betty Arndt cir- culation manager. Unrolling the scroll further, I saw the pictures taken at Shelley's Studio, December 6. I heard someone call to Clio and, turning my head, realized that it was Mnemosyne, Goddess of Memory. It was she who had caused me to recall these pleasant memories. MARY SINGER Tir-1 lil if-four
