SENIOR CLASS HISTORY ls it possible that three fleeting years ago, we, the future seniors of 1948, first entered the classroom of E. H. S. as self-conscious sophomores? In the three years that we have spent at high school, the majority of us have gone a long way toward molding our char- acters into the types of people we wish to be. As sophomores, we worked hard not only in classes but also in extra-curricular activi- ties. There were many of our boys who were active in football, wrestling, baseball, and basketball. We girls proved that the boys were .not the only class athletes when we took part in seven girls' sports, namely, mushball, basketball, volleyball, ping-pong, bowling, tennis, and badminton. ln our class play, Tiger House, we offered proof that many sophomores could play dramatic roles very well. Those of us who were musically inclined took part in the band, chorus, quartet, an-d trio. Although very few sophomores were in the operetta, Blossom Time, we attended the performances with great joy. When we suddenly found that our sophomore year was closing we, with the juniors, gave a memorable Spring Formal for the seniors of 1946. ln our junior year, we felt that at last E. H. S. belonged to us! Again we took prominent parts in school activities. For a few weeks, our attention was centered on politics while We selected our class officers. After Christmas, we won acclaim in our production of Every Family Has One. Many of us played hosts to the visiting band members wtho came for the District Band Festival held in Hanover. In the spring, we proudly watched our fellow class- men in the operetta, My Maryland. Finally, we en-ded our junior year, a year of great accomplishments, with the beautiful lights and rythmic music of the annual dance held by the underclassmen for the seniors. In the summer that followed the last day of our junior year, the majority of us obtained part-time or full-time jobs in stores, factories, or farms. In no time at all, the summer flew by, and we once again returned to school for our last year. As seniors, we realized that our final year in E. H. S. should be full of accomplishments greater than before. As a result, our football players worked as hard as possible and suc- ceeded in winning the South Penn Conference Championship. Our class members who be- longed to Student Council or to school clubs managed to supply the school with social affairs, such as the election dance and the Sadie Hawkins Dance. When we presented our senior play, Out of the Frying Pan, we acknowledged the reports that it was one of our best performances in our high school years. A large percentage of us took part in the drill and mixed choruses, the band, cheerleading, the Orange and Black staff, and the Nornir staff. In the spring we once again won praises for our class members who participated in the operetta, New Moon. Near the end of school, we attended our last high school formal given for us by the sophomores and juniors. As we danced. to the dreamy music, we realized that we could no longer be carefree students but that we were rapidly becoming responsible adults. After we had attended Baccalaureate Service and the Campus Day program, we were no longer seniors but men and women who would soon seek our fortunes in the huge world. When we, the class of 1948, graduated, we knew that we would always remember the joys and sorrows of our three years at E. H. S. 14
