CLASS HISTORY In September, 1949, Marianne and Nancy entered The Gateway as seventh graders. The next year they welcomed Lana and Linda Offenbach to the eighth grade, with Mrs. Adams as their home-room teacher. At the end of October we gave a successful Hallowe'en party with doughnuts and cider, prizes for the best costumes, and games. We elected Lana as President and Linda Olfenbach as Vice President. The Glee Club Concert and the Christmas Concert were opened by a selection of songs presented by our class. In May we participated in the Dance Festival and soon the year was over. We were greatly impressed by the graduation exercises and were all anxiously awaiting the adventures of our new role as Freshmen M.E.B. 8: N.A.O.C. As Freshmen, fortified by thirteen new members, we began our high school careers. We were introduced to many unfamiliar subjects, among which were Algebra, Latin, and Ancient History. After the initial shock we regained our com- posure and took things in our stride. We elected Marianne as President, Linda Olfenbach as Vice-President, Alice Pohlman as Secretary, Nancy as Treasurer, and Linda Lovelock as Student Council Representative. We thoroughly enjoyed the Hallowe'en party and the fun entailed in preparing our skit for the evening which was entitled Schmo White and the Seven Dwarfs. After our return from a short Thanksgiving vacation we began to prepare for the coming exams which we were able to survive with no casualties. Upon our return from the Christmas recess we settled down to work again. Before we knew it March and exams had arrived. We cheered on six of our class- mates, who as members of the Glee Club, participated in the concert under the direction of Mrs. Stewart. At the end of May came the Dance Festival for which we had practiced diligently throughout the year. Pat, the two Judys, Lana, and Sue Thalberg were members of the Ballet, Mlle. Angot, and our entire class took part in the folk dancing. After Graduation we said a tearful goodbye to the seniors and were very proud to take our place as Sophomores as we looked forward to the coming year. L.T.W. 84 M.H.A. We returned in September happy to see everyone and to welcome a new classmate, Cathy Sullivan, as well as two new teachers, Miss Corso and Mrs. Penelhum. Soon we elected our class officers: Lynne as President, Judy Benham as Secretary, Pat as Treasurer, and Lana as Student Council Representative. For the Hallowe'en party we gave a skit entitled Behind the Pages. The first semester ended with the Christmas Canata in which eight of us participated: Lana, the two Judys, Pat, Marianne, Cathy, Lynne, and Sue Lander. Twenry-four
