CLASS HISTORY Life began when we were Freshmen. New schedules, new teachers, and new friends were among the more exciting things of our first year. Our neighbors to the south (Brook- lawn and Westville) provided much amusement as they searched for unheard of rooms in the building. As the year drew to a close we had a hay ride, long to be remembered by all. Our first act as Sophomores was to elect officers. Thomas Houseknecht took the office of President and John Powell the Vice-President. Juergen Dubinsky became Secretary and Doris Stuhl, Treasurer. Under this capable leadership we sponsored our Rainbow Dance closing a year of fun. With the opening of our Junior year, we again elected officers. Thomas House- knecht retained the Presidency, with Howard Sooy as Vice-President. Doris Stuhl was elected Secretary and Wendellyn Sooy, Treasurer. Just after Christmas we began work on our Valentine Dance, a very gala affair. We raised quite a sum of money, with which we gave the Senior's a Prom. Many compliments were received and a good time was had by all. And then, before we realized it, we were Seniors! The long awaited position had finally been acquired. Thomas Houseknecht was elected President for the third con- tecutive year, due to his leadership and ability. James MacDermott was chosen as Vice-President, with Anna Dutcher as Secretary and Howard Sooy, Treasurer. Early in the year we decided to give a Victory Dance on Thanksgiving, in honor of the foot- ball team. Awards were made to the outstanding players of the day. About this time the Yearbook Staff was organized, with Davis Breckenridge as Editor-in-Chief. With full cooperation from all sides, the yearbook proved to be one of the best ever published. Our Senior Play, Janie, took place in January, with a large number of the class participating. Well-chosen characters, excellent directing and plenty of talent made the play a big success. With the Washington trip in mind, we sponsored another dance, which made a very favorable impression. The peak of our activities was reached with the Washington trip. We were the first class to make this trip since the war and we spent three most exciting days. Returning in high spirits, we attended the Prom and had a gay evening. Then came the fun and laughter of class night. The thrill of Graduation filled us with joy as we realized what had been attained. As the curtains close on this phase of our lives, we look back upon many pleasant memories, and forward toward attaining our goal.
