Class History In the fall of 1945, we, the Class of '49, happily began our journey over the long road terminating with graduation. It seemed in the distant future, but thirty-two bright and anxious faces were eagerly looking ahead. To help us along our first year of high school, Mr. Rogers was our Advisor. Later Mr. Townsend returned to capably help us complete the year. Presiding over the class was Barbara Sebald, with Dave Deitze as Vice-President - Treasurer and Blanche Jowaiszas recording the rrnutes this year. Our two seats in Student Council were occupied by Vicky Walker and Herbert Springer Bud Wright and Don Baker were holding down their jobs as Service Com- mittee members, while Peggy Eisen represented us at tv o posts. Student Court and Sports Com- mittee. One of our earliest activities was a radio play, for assembly, entitled Love In Bloom, featuring Blanche Jowaiszas. We began early to add to our class treasury by raffling off a dinner for two at Patsy's Inn. This netted us quite a profit, especially since the dinners were donated by Mr Glenn Aldrich Thirty-five students returned in the fall of '46 to begin as Sophomores, with Mr. V alsh assist- ing and advising us. Don Baker was our Presi- dent. with June Waite acting as Vice-President and Treasurer. Vicky Welker recorded the affairs of the class Our efficient representatives on Student Council v ere the Vice-President and Activity Treasurer of the Council, Stanton Mill- ward and Barbara Sebald, respectively. Bill Waterhouse was the competent President of Service Committee and Barbara Evens our other member. In the middle of the term Mr Walsh left us to oecome Senior Advisor, and Miss Truman became our advisor. Among the highlights of our second year as high schoolers were a Sadie Hawkins dance, with prizes for the best L'il Abner and Daisy Mae, and our Assembly program, which was an Ellery Queen mystery, entitled The Blind Bullet, which featured Clyde Niles as Ellery Queen Under the helpful guidance of M»ss Vernoy, we successfully completed our Junior year, one of the most important years of high school. Wo found ourselves in the Social Studies room with Vicky Walker again our prexy. Dave Deitze again took charge of the ever-increasing treasury and also our Vice-Presidency, while the many activities of our class were recorded bv Juno Waite. We held top honors in Student Council this year with Don Baker, President; Bcrbara Sebald, Vice-President; and Marion Croft holding down two iobs magnificently. Secretary and Treasurer. Blanche Jowaiszas and Bill Cham- pagne sat on the Service Committee and Betty Bein the Assembly Committee Our Secretary had quite a job for herself, recording our affairs, for they were many. The two main events of our Junior year were, of course, our Class Rings and the Prom. After dis- cussing the issue of the rings thoroughly, we chose the design v e wished, sat back, and anxiously awaited them. Upon receiving our rings, we proudly displayed them for all to see, declaring them the best ever. The Mardi Gras the theme of our Prom, was very much of a success Tommy Rhodes and his orchestra played for dancing. Reigning at the prom was our Queen of the Mardi Gras, Blanche Josiaszas. To keep the silver mounting in our treasury, we had paper and scrap drives, dances, Slim Skellett shows, sold greeting cards, stationery, T-shirts, and pens and pencils Our class was very lucky this year, being able not only to send a representative to Boys' State, but also to Girls' State. Our choices were Bud Wright and Bobbie Lou Sebald September 7, 1948, found twenty-five girls and boys on the top rung of the high school ladder. Our ever-faithful guide throughout our final year was Mr. Castle Leader of the class was Betty Tubbs, with June Waite again our Vice-President and Treasurer. To complete our efficient line of officers, Blanche Jowaiszas used up pencils and paper, writing the minutes. Again this year. Student Council offices were held by Forty-niners. The President of our organization was Bud Wright; Vice-President, Clyde Niles; and Betty Tubbs. Secretary- Treasurer. She later resigned the secretarial job because her duties exceeded her time. Our Central Treasurer was Eddie Lindsey. This year's Judicial branch was headed by Chief Justice David Deitze Also on the Student Court were Ruth Parker. June Waite, Don Baker, and yours truly. Court Recorder v as Vicky Walker. Senior Service Committee members were Daryl White and yours truly Our representa- tive on Clubs Committee was Jeanne Clews, who was also the committee Secretary Barbara Sebald was a delegate to the Sports Committee this year. This year our treasury really climbed high, with profits from sales of sweat shirts, T-shirts, emblems, kerchiefs. Christmas wrapp ngs. cards, and trees, stationery, paper and scrap drives, and an Easter ham raffle, besides our magazine sales with which we broke all previous sales records. V e sponsored an afternoon and even- ing performance of Slim Skellett and his Rocky Mountaineers. Also on our entertainment list for this year we have had those up-and-coming cowboy stars, the 3S's, with little Jan Scott, the tap dancing wonder, and Vanston and Ander- son. a comedy team no one v ill forget. This year, Eddie Lindsey, Editor of our year- book, is to be congratulated for his diligent and hard work in doing a masterful job, turning out a yearbook of which we are all proud His fine and helpful assistant was Barbe Evens, Business Manager. We began this Senior year with twenty-five students, but Jim Bergman, one of our swell classmates, left us. to reduce our number to twenty-four to anxiously await the main event of the year, the Washington - New York Easter Trip. Another event which we can hardly wait for is our Commencement Dance, which we wish to make an event to be cherished We owe much to all of our class advisors who have been so very helpful at all times. To all the teachers, and classmates, v c say — Thanks. To all future Seniors we wish the best of luck and success always To all,” we, the Class of 1949, bid a fond Au revoir.' Yours truly.

During our first class meeting we elected Mary Lee Bourdeau as President; Eva Maie Rayder, Vice-President; Shirley Brophy, Secretary, and Floyd Rayder as Treasurer. Our first successful project was a turkey raffle. Mrs. Victor Joyner of Hadley was the winner. Following this we staged the Calvacade of Freedom. We give our heartiest thanks to all of those who participated in this, especially the Sophomores. Cards and wrapping paper sales were next in line. This gave us a few more dollars for our Senior year. An excellent performance was given by Jerry and Sky on March 18. Our class party was held February 4. The theme was 'Cupid On The Loose. At this party Mr. Hush visited us and David Deitze was the lucky winner, who identified Ronnie Palmer as Mr. Hush. There was an Amateur Hour with Doug Wood and Howard Bell walking off with the prizes — two theater tickets. Apple Blossom Time came May 20. Everyone knows that was the great Junior Prom. Following this we worked with the Seniors to make their graduation a very successful one that will be remembered for. a long time. We decorated the church and acted as candle-bearers. Now we are ready for our last and final year, which we hope will be as successful.
