H. S. We very neatly handed Charles Dick- son the task of President. One of the first ordeals we had to go through was initiation. What a day: It was the first time initiation was organ- ized , and we marched down to the gym and were put through our paces--and the paddling line: Our party was given on St. Patrick's Day and everyone enjoyed himself immensely; especially the Freshmen when they were getting ready for it. We went to Spring Mill Park with our sponsor, Mr. Dickson, for our last day trip, and again proved that our class could have fun to- gether anywhere--and eSpecially on a picnic. Our next year was started with a bang by thirty-six wiser Sophomores. This year Marvin Vest was elected President and Mr. Furnish was our sponsor. Our initiation of the Freshmen was a very mild affair, compared to what we got; but we enjoyed it. as did everyone else. This year our party was held on March 10 in honor of Skip Schafer's birthday on the 12th. Donald Moore and Gloria Smallwood were elected King and Queen of the class. Our class fairly reeked with basketball players, and McKee Munk and Charles Dickson were on the first five. We took the class tourney this year and we were a bunch of very happy kids. We had a party the next night to celebrate at the old quarry close to Mick's house. Louie Coots and his wife chaperoned and furnished their bus. Our last day was spent at Clifty Falls Park and later at the skating rink in Madison. We also visited the ice cream fact- ory there and got a treat. In 1949 we were thirty-four Joll Juniors and Joyce Prall was our President. Neva Watson and Dwight Killebrew were elected from our class as cheerleaders. Our party was given at Christmas time and was very beau- tiful. We also had a short skit on The Night Before Christmas and The Night After Christmas , which was a howling success. We again captured the class tourney and had another party in celebration of the event. Joyce Prall was elected Queen. This year on the last day we took a trip through scenic Kentucky and back to Fountain Ferry Park that night. We gave a ban- quet for the Seniors which was held at the Colonial Manor near New Albany. It was a hugh success: And now 1950--and we are Seniors: Our happy days are near an end. There were thirty-four of us to start, but we lost six through marriage, sickness, etc. Miss Dunlevy is our Sponsor and George Turner was elected President without even being present at the time! tShows what the Seniors can do.l We gave the first party of the year to welcome all new students and teachers. A skit was given on School Days with members of the class impersonating the teachers. Everyone agreed that Charles Dickson made a good Mr. Hedge, especially with a red shirt and suspenders! The first team had six Seniors on it this year. We were sorry Charles broke his foot and couldn't play until the last three games of the season. Mary Penney and Gloria Smallwood were elected from our class as cheerleaders. Our class sold magazines as a project to raise money for our trip to Washing- ton D. C., and hit the $800 mark, so we had a turkey dinner in honor of the occasion. Everyone enjoyed it. Our boys took the class tourney again, and this made the third time we had won it. Were we ever proud! nother party followed this big win. The play we chose was entitled Take Ybur Medicine , and we had a double cast. Everyone thinks it's the best one yet, of course. And so we end our four years in high school with our graduation on May 14. We only hope all the other classes will have half as much fun as we have had. 44 willunli- h; PROPHECY OF THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1951 10 YEARS FROM NOW We, the Junior Class, foresee these events for the year 1961.

Furnish, Coach CHEERLEADERS AND HIGH SCHOCL CHEERING SECTION ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL YEAR It is a great pleasure for me to be writing about a group of boys and a coach we think are tops. They have spent a lot of good times together as well as many serious moments. Basketball is a sport we all love. It is good clean recreation and lots of fun. Our season started off with a bang by walking away from Sa- luda by an eleven point margin. we traveled to Silver Creek on November 7 and came home good losers. That didn't put damp spirits on the coach and players of H.H.S. The determination of these boys was a great asset to Mr. Furnish . A few games like the one at Hanover are what makes basketball a real thrill. A victory by three points was well earned. On December 12, we motored to Charlestown to bring home the plaque. This meant team-work and they didn't let us down. The plaque still hung in question when we played Borden. That question was answered with a twenty seven point win. Our hopes were great when we went to Silver Creek for the County Tourney. Again we won over Borden by six points. That night was a little different. We were beaten by New washington and lost the plaque. We beat vallonia by twelve. points to show that we were still the determined team that we were at the first of the season. On February 6, 1951, we had to even things with New Washington, which is just what we did by fifteen points. The plaque was brought home again. We proved to Charlestown we could hold on to it too. Our last season game was another victory by three points. On February 21, 1951, we went to Jeffersonville for our first game in the Sectional. We drew Laconia and was scheduled to play at 10:15 Wednes- day morning. we led the game most of the way and pulled through by six points. That made us all happy. Our next game was Nth,Silver Creek and this was a different story. We were beaten by twenty two points and came home a little unhappy. Well, it takes good sportsmanship to be a good loser as well as a good winner and I think you will agree that our boys possess that good sportsmanship. We sincerely hope the boys behind us have as suc- cessful a season as we have had.

From the owners of the mill itself it Was learned: The flag was made of wool from American sheep- Sorted by an American,.carded by an Italian, Spun by Swede, warped by a German, dressed by an Englishman, drawn by a Scotchman, woven by a Belgian, Supervised by a Frenchman, inspected by an American, Scoured by an Albanian, dyed by a Turk, examined by an Irishman, pressed by a Pole. YET... Just today we chanced to meet-- Down upon the crowded street, And I wondered whence he came, What was once his nations name? So I asked him, Tell me true-- Are you Pole, or Russian Jew; English, Irish, German Prussian; Belgian; Spanish, Swiss, lorevian; Dutch, Greek or Scandinavian? Then he raised his on high, As he gave me this reply: What I was is naught to me, In this land of Liberty. In my soul as man to man, I am Just an American.
