CLASS OFFICERS Henry Pennebacker, President Ruth Wenner, Treasurer Nancy Wieand, Secretary John Gulla, Vice President History of the '49ers VVhen the class of '49 entered high school, few realized our potentialities in the scholastic, social, dramatic, and athletic fields. As Freshmen, we couldn't do too much to prove our worth, but the lfVelcome Home Minstrel', was a howling success. It showed a wealth of talent as well as gayly welcoming our returning war heroes. The timeliness of its theme, snappy songs and dances, all made for its success. Our last activity was the Spring Swingf' a wonderful dance, and to the '49ers, the social event of the year! We had a vacation! Sophisticated Sophomoresa' returned in Fall-fewer in number but so much wiser. VVe were more socially inclined this year. We gave two dances- the Mid-Winter Ballu and April Showers. Both were grand fun and finan- cially profitable. Perhaps we studied harder the second year, we definitely gave the football and basketball teams a boost. It was at the end of this year that we supplied cheerleaders and color guards for the teams and band, and began to really make the school know we were an asset. We needed our vacation! ! On to the Jaunty Junioru year and new glories. The annual Declamation Contest was won by Theodore VVieder, a natural for the stage. We began to realize what talents we were harboring in our midst. We really had a successful dance when we held the Cupid's F rolicf, In the Spring, the Junior Prom was our biggest social event. After all, it was our Hrst formal affair! Ruth Wenner l12l

was queen of the Prom with Catherine Gehman, Dolores Geist, Jean Koenig, and Sara Ann Mohr as attendants. The Owls Home was beautifully decorated in our class colors, blue and white, while our flower, the daisy, added just the right touch to the whole ensemble. No one complained about the farewell dance we gave the graduating class. And so we ended our third year of high school. We really needed our vacation! ! ! The steps to the Senior class are gradual and true but we finally arrived and now know the joys and cares of being Big Wheels.,, The school was ours! Daisy Maes and L'il Abners were all over the gym at the Sadie Hawkinsv dance. Path Underwood and Meddy Kocis were chosen as the most appro- priately dressed Daisy Mae and Ifil Abner. Of course, the Senior Class Play, Dear Ruth played four performances and had everyone-cast, committees, and director in a whirl for weeks. Then we ,49ers gave a Snow Rushf, a dance which drew many students and alumni. Saint Valentine was properly feted by our Valentine Dance. Hearts were thrown around like so much confetti. The balance of the year was brightened by our field trips to the Court House, the County Jail, and State Hospital. Our last and best social event was the Senior Ball, which was held at Castle Gardens on June third. Then came the serious Baccalaureate Service and the thrill and sadness of Commencement. And so, one hundred fifty-eight members of the Class of 1949 ended their record in the Emmaus High School annals. ADVISERS Mr. Benfield Mrs. Slack Miss Hauser Mr. Burger l13l
