Class History It was a warm sunny day in September, when forty nine wide-eyed freshmen WBLKEQ into the halls of Powlerville hlgh. At our first class meeting, we elected Gene L1nUemUth, presldentg Jack Lucas, vice- presldentg June Drlver, secretaryg and Vivian Hendryx, treasurer. We chose ULook Forward, Not Backwardn as our motto and Blue and White as our C1855 colors. For our flower we chose White Carnation. Mr. Holmes and Mlss hayes were our sponsors for the year. Although the seniors told us we wouldn't live through initiation, we believe we had more fun than they did. Our money-making events of the year were a dance and a fish pond at the F.F.A. Fair, and another dance put on in the gymnasium for the hlgh school. We came back our sophomore year as lively as we were in our fresh- man year. We were ready to settle down and get through another success- ful year. We chose Dick Elliott, presidentg May June Curtis, vice- presidentg June Driver, secretaryg Anna Spagnuolo, treasurer. We sel- ected Mrs. Would and Miss DeGroff as our sponsors, As we got older and more educated, we decided our motto d1dn't sound sophisticated en- ough, so we changed it to uThe Key of the Present Opens the Lock of the Future.u Our social affairs of the year were a success. We sponsored two dances and several candy sales, thus ended our BOPHOEOPB year. It was Fowlervllle Fair time before we knew it, and that meant making plans for the Junior Stand. Although we couldn't make ourselves believe we were Juniors, our stand was a hugh success. At our first class meeting of the year we selected Dick Elllott, presidentg Bob Kleinschmidt, vice-presidentg June Driver, secretaryg May June Curtis, treasurer. We chose Mr. Holmes and Mr. Hills as our sponsors. Our Junior play UHome for Chrlstmasn called a large crowd to the gymnasium for both performances. Our greatest social event was our Jun1or-Sen- lor reception. To the seniors we gave a banquet followed by a dance. The theme of the reception was nStardust.N The decorations were carried out in accordance with the theme. The members of the Board of Educat- ion and the Faculty with their wives and husbands were guests of the occasion. lt was our Senlor year before we knew it, and a mighty thirty three we were. We re-elected the same officers as we had the previous year. Our sponsors for the year were Mr. Kuney, Mr. Hills and Miss Hart. We tried to scare the freshmen at initiation, but they just wouldn't scare. This year we sponsored a magazine sale, sold refresh- ments at the games, and had a dance. Our senior play uThe Hobgoblin Housen was a success. Other events of the year were the raffle that we had at the Fowlervllle Fair and a party after the magazine sale, where the girls entertained the boys. Anna Spagnuolo was selected the Good Cltizenshlp Girl. As has been done ln other years, the Year Book was made by a staff selected by the sponsors. In May we were entertained by the Juniors at a reception. Sudden- ly we found ourselves on an exciting trip to Mackinac Island and Chic- ago, accompanied by our sponsors. Then all too soon, came Baccalaureate and Commencement. A major stepping-stone in our lives was thus completed. We, the class of 1950, said good-bye to our teachers, classmates, and school. Our high school career has ended but the memories will always remain ln our hearts.
