Senior Class History The class of 50 descended upon G. H. S. In the year 1947. Those answering the roll call on the first day were, Robert Drury, Frank Ratliff, Mary Young, Adeline Orzechowski, Donna Spalsbury, Carl Shenberger, Howard Washburn, Jr., Delores Watson, Bureta Dyer, Marian Erbs, Pat Felver, Virginia Tucker, Anna Sutton, Shirley Walter, Donna Barre, Gertrude Leak, Joy Lee Garner, Martha Rice, Marie 3ehuller, Bud Aukerman, Dick Hartley, and Richard Rhine. Mary Beth Bowen Joined our class during the last semester. The first few weeks were spent worrying about Initiation. When the big day finally came, we found ourselves garbed as Gravel Gertie and B. 0. Plenty. In the evening many contests were held, but the outstanding was the beauty con- test In which Delores Watson and Carl Shenberger topped the list. Little else was accomplished that year besides choosing our class officers who were: Pres., Martha Rice; Vice Pres., Bud Aukerman; Sec. and Treas., Virginia Tucker. Rev. Reiser was our class sponsor. The day came when we were no longer Freshmen but big, superior-looking Sophomores. In our sophomore year we lost, Russell Hall, Adeline Orzechowski, Charles Shepherd, Frank Ratliff, Bob Drury, Mary Young, Jr. Washburn, and Bureta Dyer. A great loss came to our class during our sophomore year by the untimely death of Martha Rice. Since our class had dwindled in number, we started making money for the Junior and Senior Prom that we were to give the following year. Oi r largest Income for the year was the money we received from serving at the Legion Games. As is tne custom In G. H. S., the sophomores serve at the Junior ana Senior Banquet and this year was no exception. It was hard work, but we enjoyed every minute of It for we knew that we would be taking the places of the juniors next year. Our class officers for the year were: Pres., Virginia Tucker; Vice Pres., Martha Rice; Sec. and Treas., Mary Beth Bowen. Our class sponsor was Mrs. Schantz. In our junior year the work really began. We had lost still more members leaving a grand total of thirteen. Those among the missing were: Marian Erbs, Delores Watson, Delores Spalsbury, and Marie Schuller. To offset our loss we gained Peg Carey who made up for all the rest dropping out. The first thing accomplished for the year was the election of our officers; Pres., Joy Lee Garner; Vice Pres., Charles Philbrick; Sec. and Treas., Oert Leak.
