decorated in our class colors, green and white, and hundreds of pink carnations adorned the wish- ing well, the entrance, and the royal thrones. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the King and Queen, Donald Andrews and Ann Reinsmith. Bud Rader's Orchestra gave the final touch to what was acclaimed the most successful social function of our school career. To climax the year and as a farewell to the class of 1950 we sponsored the Senior Farewell. The steps to the senior class are gradual and true, but finally we arrived, and at last the cares and joys of being seniors were ours. Of course we now had many of our boys and girls taking part in every phase of school life. We immediately began to choose committees and the cast for that never-to-be-forgotten event, the Senior Class Play. January Thaw, a fast moving comedy, was presented three nights, November 16, 17, 18, and had everyone in a whirl for weeks. Then, November 24, 1950, we held the Sadie Hawkins Dancef' The gym was decorated with funny papers and corn-cob pipes were presented to all of the couples attending. It was a gay night and the gym echoed with laughter. Following this we held the dance Christmas Capers on December 21, which attracted many students and alumni. Shortly after the Easter vacation, on April 4, we sponsored our last school dance in the gym, the Spring Swing. During the remaining months of school we took field trips to the State Hospital, County Jail, and the Court House, which proved very interesting and educational. And at last, the best social event of the year, the Senior Ball which was held at the Brookside Country Club on Junel, 1951. Then came the serious Baccalaureate Service and the thrill and sadness of Commencement. And so ended four wonderful years spent at Emmaus High School for 110 students.

Our class was separated, two sections were in the Lincoln Junior High School and three in the High School. After a general pushing around hy the upper- classmen, we all settled down to a full schedule of studying. Our only diversion was to plan for our Freshman Minstrel, and on the nights of February 13 fand 1-1, the Country Style Shindign was presented. It was a grand success and showed the abilities and talents of our class. May 14, 19-18, the Spring Swingn was held, our first and only soclal event of the year. The term ended with everyone looking forward to their sophomore year. j Returning to Emmaus High in fall, we were fewer ininumber, but so much wiser. More socially inclined, we held two dances. The first one, the Green and Gold Hop, was held December -1, 1948. Probably no one will ever forget the orchestra, The Jolly Four, or the gaily decorated gym. We now began to take an interest in high school functions and at the end of the year we supplied cheerleaders and colour guards. Our second dance, The Springtime Frolic, was held May 14, 19-19, and brought an end to the affairs of the sophornore class. And now we were Juniors! The Bal L'Automne,', oulr first dance of the year was held on the night of November 5. Our decorating committee did a wonderful job for the dance, and for the first time, supplied a stage for the orchestra. The amiual Junior Declamation Contest was held on May -1, 1950, and was won by Barbara jean Kline. Other contestants were Willard Stratz and Rodney Fenstermaker. In spring, our eagerly awaited Ylfunior Prom, the biggest social affair of the year, was held April 21, at the Frolics Ballroom in Allehtown. The Ballroom was beautifully 1 -.
