MASSES UF CLASSES Although we sometimes grumbled over long and tedious hours of homework, our studies were quite an experience. Eichelberger taught us many things which We shall never forget. Through three years of study we learned many things of material value. Even more important, our alma mater was the place in which each one of us started to draw a blueprint for a future life. --we pledge ourselves defenders of the Orange and the Black. ,loan Lee, Marlene, and Pat gazing at posters.

WWE QI! FUH SE IUHS IJ LY CAP 'N' GOWN 'N' DIPLOMA TIME INCLUDES US-the class of 1950! Perhaps it should be a gay time, perhaps a serious time, perhaps both. Each year whizzed by even faster than the preceding one, and now our senior year is gone. Our memories of Eichelberger . . . what are they now? What will they be? Friendships made and friendships broken . . . some lasting forever, others gone with the wind. Teachers respected and teachers criticized . . . how can we ever thank some of them for end- lessly contributing knowledge and just plain common sense? Words could never express the grati- tude we feel when a teacher steps down among us and urges us to greater things. High school introduced dances . . . the magic of the music, going out-of-town for something to eat, later hours! Gradually, the fellows began to drive the family cars. Even more gradually, they learned to jitterbug! Do, re, mi! Stay in character! . . . our class found music and dramatics completely likeable. We were, and still are, proud of our achievements in those Helds. They were challenging, but more than rewarding. Sports aroused all of us . . . our new stadium made us feel quite professional. The fellows played hard, we cheered from the bottom of our hearts-and lungs. Regardless of the score, we followed our athletic males. They symbolized fair play. The class of 1950 has a record of which it can be proud. We learned that hard work counts. As sophomores, we presented a delightful comedy, And Came the Spring. lust to prove our ability, we chose the dramatic The Little Foxes in our junior year. For a finale of our stage work, a huge cast produced The Skin of Our Teeth. if The operettas for our sophomore and junior years were New Moon and The Red Mill, respectively. Hard work and fun were combined in both musicals. We knew we had been successful when, in the springs of '48 and ,49, the proms we gave were praised. How could we ever forget the Candy Cane Ball of our sophomore year, and the Mint Iulep of our junior year? As Spring rolled around this year, we were swamped by the traditions of Campus Day, Commencement, and dances. When our underclassmen held the Prom in honor of us, we really felt like sophisticated seniors! But our class history and our high school memories won't stop now. Theywillgoon...andon...andon...
