THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES We, the class of 1951, realize that our high school days are coming to an end. We look back over the past four years spent in our Alma Mater with fond remembrances of these happy days. On September 5, 1947, ninety-nine eager freshmen entered the halls of G. H. S. to begin The Green Year. We were rather timid and bashful at first, but we soon became accustomed to the routine of high school life. We were led through The Green Year by Robert Robinson, Dean Stenger, Ruth Sellers, and Lorraine Shank. On September 7, 1948, eighty-seven sophomores climbed the steps of G. H. S. We were no longer shy, meek freshmen but were filled with class spirit and a desire to begin the second round of our high school career. We felt certain that the next two years would be Happy Years. We elected as our officers Wallace McDonald, Dean Stenger, Peggy Decker, and Jean Carpenter. Suzanne Gingrich and Robert Robinson were chosen to represent our class on the Student Council. Most of the members of the class were in the Sophomore Glee Club and many participated in varsity and junior varsity sports. Again, on September 6, 1949, the class of '51 entered G. H. S. as upper classmen, looking forward to an exciting year. For our officers we elected Robert Robinson, Wallace McDonald, Marie Talhelm, Jean Carpenter, Lorraine Shank and Charles Lowe to the Student Coimcil. The highlights of the year were in October, when our class ordered rings, November, when we chose our class motto, flower, colors, and later om' hat, pennant and emblem. We chose the words Lorraine Maun had written for our class song. The latter part of March We successfully pre- sented the play January Thaw under the direction of Mrs. Toms. Finally, on September 5, the class of '51 entered G. H. S. for The Last Round-up of our high school days. After getting organized, the play committee selected A Change of Heart which was presented on December 7 and 8 under the direction of Mrs. Toms. It proved to be a great success. We had our pictures taken at Russel's Studio in November. The Holiday Affair -was celebrated with a party in the gymnasium. Our classmates have been well represented in the field of sports during the four years we have spent in G. H. S. and we are quite proud of them. Although we are saddened at the thought that our high school days are about over, We are looking forward to our last Assembly Program, Washing- ton trip, and Commencement exercises. As we go to prepare a place for om'selves in this world, we will strive to make it a world of brotherhood, understanding and peace. And yet as we go forth we cannot he lp but f e el that somehow these have been The Best Years of Our Lives.
