It was a very im- portant year to all of them. Many exciting adventures were ahead; one of which was catching a mouse in the Home Ec. room and naming him Herkimer, the Freshman mascot. He didn't stay too long, however. Of course. everyone eagerly anticipated their first school party. It was given by the seniors, and it turned out to be a wonderful occasion for all of us- We had our first real election of class-officers that year,.under the supervision of Mr. Dick- son, our sponsors Jane Wood was elected our class president. Lavon Crowley helped in the cheer-leader twosome of the school. We had quite a few boys who were genuinely interested in basketball. Everyone seemed to agree that we gave the prettiest and the most exciting party of the year.. we called it our Spring Party.P Because of the shortage of gasoline and tires, we stayed at school on the last day and had a picnic. we had games on the playground in the afternoon. It turned out to be a swell day for all. ' We began our sophomore year with an enrollment of twenty-nine. Results of the class election found Scotty Lamb in the president's chair. Beaten in the basketball tournament by the seniors, we still came through with several more-than-hopefuls, for the sport. we sponsored a Hard-Times party for the faculty and student body. A lot of important things happened that year,- really too many to.mention, but our class had a wild desire for incense, corn, chalk, erasers, BpBishot and kittens. This may sound odd, but not to members of the sophomore class. Mr. Furnish, our sponsor, took us to Marengo Cave, and later to New Albany to see the movie, Doll Face.w It was a throughly enp JOyable day.A In the fall of nineteen hundred and forty-six, we entered H. H. S. as Jolly Juniors, with an enrollment of twenty-five. Iris Palmer was elected class president, and from our class, Earl Coombs and JUne Aubrey were elected as two of the school's three cheer-lead rs. w? gave a ll-o-ween was uerade Party. We had a lot of fun in ge t ng ecorat o s as e class we emem- bers. we also held a box-supper in the gym, which turned out to be a huge success. Lillie Petty was elected as Queen of our Class. We became the vic- tors of the girls' volley ball tournament. We also gave a banquet for the seniors in the Leather-room of the Seelbach Hotel, at Louisville, with a theatre party afterwards. We won the class basketball tournament by first de- feating the freshmen and then by over-powering the seniors. Of course, this called for a celebration,.so a party was held. This is the year that we received our class rings. It is also to be noted that our class was the first to have a JUnior Day.P On the last day of school, Mrs..Empson and Mrs. Koehler, our sponsors,.took us on a tour of the more interesting spots of Louisville, such as the University of Louisville and the Speed Memorial Museum. Then we saw a double feature at the Brown Theatre. later we went to Fountain Ferry Park. That night, we went to Scottsburg for another movie. It was a very complete day, and it was all wonderful. ----- -So ended our junior yearh---nineteen hundred and forty-seven. We began our senior year by electing Earl Petty to head our class of twenty-five. When cheer-leader election came around again, Earl Coombs and June Aubreyuwere elected from our class for the second consecutive year. we were the first to have a year-book, which we gave the title, FMemories of H. H. S. We entertained the student body and faculty with a very decorative Christmas Party.. Evelyn Robinson and Earl Petty were elected our Glass King and Queen. Naturally we became the mainstay of the Hornet's Nest and Marshall Witten was elected as editor-in-chief. we also held the top-hand in number of the Henryville Hornets, with Earl Petty as center of the squad, Richard Dunlevy and Marshall Witten as forwards of the top-five.. Ginny Stid; ham was voted as Captain of the girls' volley ball team. We first defeated the juniors, and then went on to an easy victory over the sophomores. We were honored with a banquet by the Juniors, the twenty-ninth of May.. Our baccalaureate was held in the Presbyterian Church, May thirtiety. Commence- ment was held 1n'the gym,'the second fodhne. we wore grey caps and gowns, with red tasseis on the caps, instead of the usual blue and white. Our four years journey had been an exciting adventure, that had come to an end, all too soon. 0
