was our class sponsor. Our main business was determining how much money we would need for the Prom, and operating the candy booth. In October we selected our class rings which. In our estimation, were the best ever obtained by any class of G. H. S. At the end of October we had a theater party, after which we went to Joy Lee’s for refreshments. This was also the month In which we chose our Junior Class Play. The one chosen, was Let Me Grow Up In which Donna Barre had the leading role. Others In the cast were. Peg Carey, Pat Felver, Jinx Tucker, Shirley Walter, Gert Leak, Joy Lee Garner, Bud Aukerman, and Dick Rhine. Mrs. Low and Mr. Hoag directed. The Junior girl chosen by the student body as Business Manager of the Athletic Ass’n., for the year, was Joy Garner. Another highlight In our Junior year was the Junior and Senior Banquet. The auditorium was decorated to represent a garden on an Old Southern Plantation Judy Reynolds was chosen as the Belle of the Ball . The latter part of the evening was spent in dancing to the music of Don Amsden and his orchestra. The Prom ended our social activities and the rest of the year was devoted to studies. We started our senior year with an addition of four members to our class: Wesley Brewer, Dean Shoemaker, Ted Bittner, and Mary Young, we soon lost Mary. After the excltment of the first week was over and things began to settle down to the same routine we elected our class officers: Pres., Peg Carey; Vice Pres. Richard Rhine; Sec. and Treas., Shirley Walter. Class sponsor for the year Is Mrs. Low . In October we motored to Tiffin where we had our pictures taken at Boles-Dandurand Studies. Our class was noted for always Jumping at any suggestions offered. When It was suggested that we might raise enough money to take a trip, we were imme- diately sold on the Idea. Since the Prom of '49 had lowered our bank account, we had about 500 to earn before May 1. In our effort to raise money we have held square dances, bake sales, a card party, a bazaar and have sold greeting cards and other small items. We have held no class parties this year because of our financial difficulties. The play we have chosen this year Is Out of this World . The cast Includes: Donna Barre, Peg Carey, Jinx Tucker, Mary Bowen, Shirley Walter, Gert Leak, Joy Garner, Bud Aukerman, Ted Bittner, Dean Shoemaker, Dick Hartley, and Dick Rhine. Mrs. Low and Pat Felver are directing. Our High School career Is swiftly coming to an end. Commencement will bring to us mingled feelings--a feeling of triumph that we have actually arrived and a feeling of regret that we must soon pass on. —Joy Lee Garner This page sponsored by F. A.

We,the Senior Class of Greenwich High School, in the County of Huron and State of Ohio, being of sound mind and memory, do make, publish, and declare this our last Will and Testament: That our divine rights as Seniors shall be given over to the class of 1951. That our extreme impetuosity be transferred to the Sophomores who seem to be a bit cautious. That our average figures and physiques be given to the Freshmen who have quite a number of assorted sizes and shapes. That our ability to see eye to eve in all matters with the faculty be handed down to the next ten classes of Seniors. We, the class of 1950, being very generous, wish to make several personal bequests also: Bud Aukerman leaves his square shoulders to Barton Derby. Dick Hartley, in attaining manhood at graduation, gladly wills his Joyous boyhood days in GHS to all the Freshmen boys. Wesley Brewer, an eloquent speaker, leaves his ability to thoroughly disrupt the English classes to Alfred Oney. Dean Shoemaker wills his height, pretty legs, and curly hair to Donald Ropp. Patricia Felver wills the Editorship of the 1951 OHS Annual to Donajean Pettit. Naturally all of Pat's troubles, headaches, and worries are thrown in on the side. How about it, Donajean, are you willing to accept? Virginia Tucker bequeaths her pleasant. Jovial personality to Ginger Kramer, and her big, soft, brown eyes to DiAnn Logan. Peegy Carey leaves her ability to get along with Ted Bittner to Jacque Brooks and tier ability to talk fast to Carole Keiser. Anna Sutton will gladly exchange her red hair and freckles with Mary Weimer. Donna Barre wills her weight and height to Elolse Ebinger. Joy Lee Garner, with the consent of her parents, wills the Garner Cadillac to Joanne Shoemaker as a means of getting around in case her horse is lame. Oert Leak leaves her ability to get along with the males to Jane Harmon. Shirley Walter, a friend to everyone, leaves her soft voice and placid manner to Veloice Rhodes. Mary Beth Bowen, discovering her dormant talent in voice as proved by the Senior play, decided to share some of it with Tillie Fry. Chuck Philbrlck wills the use of his horse to Mike Carey in the hopes that Mike can get to school on time in the future. Richard Rhine bequeathes his well-used chewing gum to Mrs. Schantz. In fact, he is more than glad to leave a piece of gum for every faculty member. Ted Bittner doesn't have anything in particular that he wants to will, so he is consenting to give FREE lessons to all underclassmen. The lessons will be on his own technique with the women--specializing in jujitsu. This page sponsored by Knapp's Insurance Agency
