CLASS HISTORY UNE crisp cool morning in September 1937, twenty-four bright and smiling faces were seen in the Freshman Class at the Hepburnville High School. VVe did not become full fledged members of the high school until We had been thoroughly initiated by the Sophomore Class. The only social event that year, which took our minds from good hard study was a Weiner roast held at the home of Howard Beach. ' The following year we returned with a fractional percentage of the bright and smiling look gone. We found several members missing this year. Sarah and Anabell Drum, John Seitzer and Robert Otto were replaced by Lois Richards and Shirley McKinney. Our social activities consisted of a I-Iallowe'en party on October 27th at Dorothy McKee's home. On November 22, we had the enjoyment of initiating the Freshmen and on February 14, we held a Valentine party at the school. May 4, we brought forth our dramatic ability and presented The Sophomore Follies . , Our Junior year we returned to find Harriet Dinsmore and Irene Drum missing, but we were able to welcome two newcomers, Betty Fink and Anna Null. On October 27, we held a Hallowe'en party at the Hepburnville Community Hall as host to the Senior Class. December 18, we received our class rings, which we are still proudly exhibiting. April 12, We presented our Junior Play, The Cat's Whiskers and Grand- ma's Fling . April 18, we attended the Junior-Senior Banquet and saw the Seniors off on their trip to Washington. The fourth year, We returned to find a change in the faculty. A new principal, Mr. L. J. Burgert, an English teacher, Miss McKibben, and Geometry teacher, Mr. Courter. This year we lost Shirley McKinney and Jean Hutchinson and gained no one. We started our social activities on December Zwith the plunk! plunk! of guitars and the merry voices of the Hoosier Corn Huskers. On January 15, we were the guests of the Williamsport Sun on an industrial tour through the industrial plants of Williams- port, dinner at Covert's Tea Room, and a program over W. R. A. K. January 20, we returned to Covert's Tea Room for a. dinner party, followed by the movies. February 11, we held a Moonlight skating party at Hepburnville. March 6 and 7, we presented our first class play, You Can't Beat The Irish , and it was so good we took it to Ralston on March 18. March 21, we were entertained by the Juniors at a Saint Patrick's Cos- tume party held at the high school. May 1 and 3, our actors and actresses gave forth with another comical class play entitled Spring Fever . May 6, we took a run out on school and motored to Rauchtown. May 8, we were entertained by the Juniors at the annual Junior-Senior Banquet. May 25, Baccalaureate Services were herd at the Quig- gleville Lutheran Church and we iinished our high school days and received our diplomas May 29 at Graduation Exercises in the Balls Mills Evangelical Church. I know we are all hating to say good-by to good old Hepburn High, but the time must come when the best of friends must part and Hepburn High has been one friend We will always appreciate. -Lois Richards 1941 EDITION
