Senior Class History Recalling our first high school days, we, the shining seniors, can notice much progress in our lives. On September 7, 1943, when we first entered by the side door, we were creatures of the lowest rank with no intellect whatsoever. Amid the tumult and confusion of new books, teachers, classrooms, and associates, we chose the following class officers With much care and enthusiasm: Robert Sacher, president; Neil Koppenhaver, vice president; Freda Coffman, secretary; and Richard Henning, treasurer. All too soon came the dreaded week of ini- tiation. We were duly humiliated and pun- ished for our atrocious crimes and, finally, after a night of frolic and delight for our upperclass- men, we were taken into the fold by the ever- loving seniors. One of the outstanding features of our sopho- more year was the Hobo Dance. It was an exclusive affair, consisting only of tramps and bums. The following September, we resumed our studies and activities with renewed vigor and ambition. Once again we were proud of our choice of officers. They were Robert Sacher, president; Graydon Nevil, vice president; Freda Coffman, secretary; Todd Maguire, treasurer. Our UIunior Prom climaxed this fruitful year. The Iunior High School auditorium was decorated with strands of crepe paper and mul- ticolored balloons. The latter were suspended from the ceiling, high over the dance floor. Our charming girls were attired in semi-formals, and even with the scarcity of males many of the girls came with escorts. The number of men attired in military uniforms who attended this affair gave it a color that will ever remain in our memories. One of the many things we are proud of is the fact that so many of our members are ath- letically inclined. The success of our basket- ball team was due, in part, to Harold Staples, Richard Henning, and William Quinlan, Who played first string during their junior year. As seniors, we returned to school with an Twcn ty-siI assurance gained from our newly acquired dignity and intelligence. Being stern over- seers, we recalled our own initiation and duly punished our extremely troublesome sophs. Our class officers were chosen with the same care given this matter in other years. This time we elected Richard Henning, president; Gray- don Nevil, vice president; Ann Mertens, secre- tary; and Thelma Anthony, treasurer. Christmas brought an increase to our treas- ury by the sale of Christmas cards. A Wash- ington trip and yearbook were planned with the hope that more money could be raised. Our senior play was the hit of the ages. Miss Finelli deserves much credit for overcoming the many obstacles of a director, and producing such a success. As the close of this year approaches and this book goes to press, we are enthralled with plans for our Washington trip and our Com- mencement activities. The former event is to take place on May 20, 21, 22 and 23. The bus trip to Harrisburg and Washington, the splen- did hotel accommodations in the Capital, and the numerous educational and social events in our itinerary should prove to be more ene joyable than our fondest dreams. Our Com- mencement activities will begin with Bacca- laureate exercises on Sunday, June 2. On Wednesday, June 5, the class has planned a picnic and dinner dance. The grand climax of these activities is scheduled for Thursday even- ing, Iune 6, when Commencement is to be held. UNDERCLASSES:+ What better symbolizes the social activities of the sophomore and junior classes than the Sophomore Re- ception and the Junior Prom. As our divider page for the next section of our yearbook we are displaying on the opposite page a picture from the latter event.
