lIlUNllOR CLASS ll-llllS'll'ORY On September 3, 1947, the class of 1949, with '75 members, one of the largest junior classes on record, entered Greencastle High School. Our goal was set higher than cver before to win both academic and athletic honors. Our first class meeting was held in Room 5 on September 12. We elected our class oilicers and then selected a girl and boy to represent the class in the Student Councilg the latter were Jean Bitner and Gene Gsell. On September 17, we decided to buy class rings. Mr. Grove was present at the meeting and explained the procedure of getting rings. A committee was appoint- ed by the president. Those on the committee were: Catherine Hoffman, Mary Jane Binkley, Elwood Brumbaugh, and Charles Brechbiel. On October 14, the samples of the rings arrived. We went to the oflice to make our selection and to cast our votes. On December 23, Christmas parties were held by each of the home rooms. The pupils in Room 2 held their party in Room 1 which was very appropriately decorated. Room 5 enjoyed a farce, entitled Glamour, which its cast later presented in assem- hly. Not that our girls need the glamour out of a bottle, but you know how girls are, especially in leap year! Our class song was chosen January 20. Of the songs submitted, the class de- cided upon the one written by Janice Showalter and Janet Williams, written to the tune of Song of the Marines. On January 27, the president appointed the play committee. Those on the committee were: Phyllis Foust, Annabel Hykes, Estella Koons, Dorothy Mae Ricker and William Elliott. After reading many plays, we Hnally decided upon Come Over To Our House, a three act comedy. You should have seen the Juniors the day of play tryouts. Everyone was so nervous wondering if he or she had read loud enough or who would get the parts. It was quite a task for the committee to give the proper assignment to the right person, but the cast was finally decided upon. Play practice began at once under the direc- tion of Mrs. Toms and Miss Williams. Then the big nights finally arrived-April 15 and 16. Everyone was excited, the cast, the girls ushering, even the boys, and anx- ious directors and parents. Our class has taken part in many extra curricular activities. We have had members of the class in almost every club, and we have been well represented in sports. Quite a few girls and boys have been on the basketball squads. Our star girls basketball team has had four juniors on it. Some of the boys played soccer, and tho girls played hockey. We have had a very exciting year, but we are looking forward to even a more exciting one next year. Page Seventeen
