C'la.s.s J hitoi y In September of '45, we hit the trail for that famous gold mine which was reported to be in the vicinity of Gloucester High School. Joan Hindsley, Helen Barr and Joan Crabtree were elected as our scouts. Near the end of this dreary year, we stopped to entertain ourselves by giving the Freshman Frolic. Sophomore City was our next stop. We elected a few politicians who were Bob Schneider, president; Joan Hindsley, vice- president; Bruce Uibel, treasurer; and Nancy Horley, secretary. In April we held our only social activity which was the Sophomore Hop. The women folk were dolled-up and the men shone like a brace of new shootin' irons. We sent the seniors, a group of learned folk who had crossed the Rockies, a token of good wishes on their capital trip, near the end of our stay here. Stopping at Junior Junction, Bob Schneider was made president; Bruce Uibel, vice-presi- dent; Cutie Face Nancey Horley, secretary, and John Prettyman, treasurer. Our first money-making scheme was a play, The Fighting Littles. The performances were enjoyed by all, even though one was interrupted by an arrow of flame. We took a breather after this before presenting the April Shower dance. When the breezes cooled, we were ready for the biggest thing since Boone discovered Kentucky, the Junior Prom. The girls flashed their buttons and bows while the boys wore their golden spurs. After this we had to switch to twelve-gallon hats 'cause we were to become seniors. Riding into our mine, which was called the senior year, we quickly set about getting our house in order. Our first lawful act was to elect our officers. John Frettyman was president, while Bob Schneider was vice-president with Bruce Uibel guarding the money-box, and reliable Nance Horley taking the minutes and listing the fines. The senior play, The Man Who Came to Dinner, was our first activity. Held on No- vember 18 and 19, it was highly praised. Next we presented a very pleasant and successful venture, The Sleighbell Hop, on December 27. We scouted for pieces of silver in the form of dimes. Each person who contributed, voluntarily or otherwise, was called a well-wisher. While looking for nuggets of knowledge, we stumbled onto another dance 'round about April. Reaping mountains of golden coins from this adventure, we made our get-away. We boarded our stage coaches for a three day trip to Washington, D. C., on May 11, with broad beaming smiles. Coming from Glou- cester Gulch, we were very much impressed with our Capital. Disregarding the heat and our chaperoning oppression, we succeeded in having a wonderful time. We returned to our native corral, and on May 27 the boys and girls seemed excited and expectant. And no wonder. It was the day of the Prom! The biggest shin-dig of the year. It was held at Walt Whitman's barn, too! This enjoyable evening is still very much remembered. And then it happened! The end of the rainbow was actually found at Gloucester High in the form of a high school diploma.
