Pace Sxxrnsw AS TIME GOES BY The Senior Class of Harrison High started on their long, tedious journey through the four years of hard work as green but lovable children, otherwise known as freshmen. This all began in September of 1946. One of the first acts was to elect officers. Betty Sue Wilson was president, Helen Clark, our vice- presidentg Martha Carter, our secretary, and Martha Jacob was treasurer. The job of keeping order in class meetings was assigned to Miss Hodapp. Many of our boys made the football and basketball teams, and, in no time at all, they were helping to lead our teams to victory. After a glorious free summer, we again came back to good old H.H.S. as one year veterans. At one of our first meetings, the class elected Jack Linker, presidentg Jim Miller, vice-presidentg Keith Myers, secretary, and Leslie Flick, treasurer. Mr. Cozart and Miss Bevis were our overseers. Again this year, the class of '50 was prominent in all high school affairs. The basketball team, com- posed of many of our sophomore boys, walked away with the trophy for the Runner-Up Reserve Champions of Hamilton County. The year sped by and before we knew it we had graduated into the rank of uupperclass men. The third year of the class of '50 began with more promise of major activities at Harrison High. The first matter on the class agenda was election of officers, namely, Leslie Flick, presidentg Hazel McGuire, vice-president, Betty Sue Wilson, secretaryg and Roberta Case, treasurer. Since our activities required more super- vision we had as our homeroom advisers Mr. Hicks and Miss Bevis. Money seemed to be the main ralk in all the class meetings. The big event of the year would require a large sum of money. To raise funds, we decided to sell pencils and pens for the different sport seasons. We also sold cold drinks at the basketball and football games. The talented members of our class put their time and efforts into presenting a play, Demon in the Dark, directed by Mr. Hicks. In May we gave the Seniors of '49 a royal send-off by presenting the Junior- Senior reception in their honor. As the year ended, we looked back on one of the most eventful years of our schooling. But more was yet to come! On September 7, 1949, the class returned to Harrison High as forty-five mighty invincible seniors. The student who was chosen to preside at the class meetings was Martha jacob. The other officers were: Clifford Downard, vice- president, Keith Myers, secretary, and Dolores Bath, treasurer. Our adviser for our last year was Mrs. Wendling. We began to see the need for raising money early in the year. We began by selling candy, Christmas cards, and the like. During the first month of school we had our pictures taken at Shillito's. We hoped the photographers enjoyed taking them as much as we enjoyed showing them about. Early in the year we chose our class colors maroon and gray, and our class flower, the white rose. Later we chose our motto, There are no benches on the highway to successf, Thus the Senior Class marched on. Again this year sports took the limelight, football namely. This year we were Runners-Up Champs of Hamilton County. A very proud class were we! In April, the annual Senior play was given. This was One Foot In Heaven, under the supervision of Miss Doris Lusk. During our high school days, many of our class members were officers and members of many of the organizations: Y-Teens, Hi-Y, Journalism, VISTA Staff, Honor Society, Home Ec Club, Science Club, F.T.A., Latin Club, Spanish Club, Travel Club, and Glee Club. Also, they were majorettes, band members, and participants in all the sports. On Thursday, May 25, our class of forty-two graduated from Harrison High. But that was not the end. Our class knows there are no benches on the road to success.
