Sflllllll CLHSS HISlllllU We began climbing the ladder to success an the year of 45 In our first year of hugh school we thought we were grown up As we carried our name Freshnes with us we became very proud Feeling out of place was our mann problem especially when changing classes as we met different teachers and saw upper class men staring so nottceably at us We gradually became accustomed to this and began partlclpat :ng in the various school activities Our class being very large because of the many tuition students occupied two rooms The bad part about this was that the home rooms were lo cated at oppostte ends of the hall Rooms lll and ll8 Changing sponsors several times was our greatest surprise and disappointment as Freshmen for we never had the opportunity for making money But In spite of this we certainly will treasure the memories of our Freshman year for many years to come We as Sophisticated Sophomores began this year with an enrollment of forty students Mr OConnor was our sponsor We elected officers on the second day of school and the results were President Anthony Schreyer Vice President Betty Buchan Secretary Margaret Mina Treasurer Nick Sturey With the coopera tion of the entire class we were soon on our way towards increasing our class funds As the months rolled by the hugh school sponsored an mter class mlnstrel whlch was under the direction of Mr Hnte and Mr OConnor was a huge success and our share of the pro ceeds were added to our treasury Our cass play Dont Take My Penny contributed some money toward our fund We knew now t at we had some promnslng actors actresses an comedlans in our class Our only social event of the year was a skating party held at Skate land Although the proceeds were small we didnt mind too much for everyone had a won derful time The term ended with a picnic at Idlewild Park and with the dreaded examinations which came the next day ln August l947 as we anxnously left the auditorium for the then familiar ll6 we were proud of our new title Jolly Juniors During the hustle of selecting our class flower motto and colors Alfred Coleman our president was constantly rapping for order After much argu xng and choosing we were finally satisfied with the results of Class flower gardenaa class col ors royal blue and whute and class motto Tonight we launch where shall we anchor? While fussmg over these problems we almost forgot our sadly neglected financial status W were practically pennlless' The idea of selling programs at football games really raised our morale and our funds At this particular time we were faced with a famultar problem e changing of sponsors Mr OConnor who a previously presided yielded his position to lvl Salem We easily became accustomed to our new sponsor for he was a great help toward our first real bug event The Junior Senior Prom Now was the time we began taking things a little easy for we had money no class problems and a satisfactory school schedule The prom was a great success at the Fort Stanwlx Hotel where everyone enloyed himself immensely Our last social event had come to an end wltn the closing of the second semester Our 47 48 term was completed and we had made good At last we made lt' l l I We now were SEN IQ I I I On the first day we arrived at school ex cited at being seniors the goal we all worked to reach There was a lot of talk old friends renewing acquaintances and catching up on the gossip The classrooms and halls rang with the many voices of the students old and new but none more excited than we were The first day seemed very short for we had an early dismissal The events and successes of our Senior year are recorded at various places throughout this book so we hesitate to repeat them here lest they become borung to you our readers However to us their memory will be a source of great 'oy in future years G STEEPE R HAVENER D JOSEPH - - - 11 - 11 - . , . . - 1 1 ' 1 i 1 1 1 11 - 11 1 ' - I . . 1 1 I 1 1 1 f ' ' , - - 1 1 1 1 . . 11 - 11 . , . l ' 1 ' ' - . , . e , .
