WERE IIERE If one could turn back the pages of time to September, 1942, you would see 68 shy and bashful seventh graders roaming the corridors of our high school building. They would be asking questions like these - Where's room 37 - What subject do we have now ?'LorJ'Why do we have to run up and down stairs so much? We also felt that the secondary curriculum should be changed so as to allow us time for recess. Strangely enough these shy and backward creatures turned out to be the Class of '48, After adjusting ourselves, we elected our officers who were Ora Miller, Floyd Kimple, and Carol Sackrider-President, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer res- pectively. We had Mrs. Culler and Mr. Kunkle as our advisors. Our two class parties consisted of contests, dancing, and refreshments. Next year, for some reason, 58 of us returned as big kids , in other words, eighth graders. The officers elected were as follows: President, Betty Tomlinson, vice-president, Pat Wyckoff and secretary-treasurer, Deloy Preston. Our class parties were about the same as our seventh grade parties. By this time we were Freshmen, we felt that this whole cycle had started over, for now, our hair would almost stand on end when anyone mentioned initiation , Calming ourselves, we elected Ora Miller as President, Naomi Lantz as vice-presi- dent, and Anna Neidhardt as secretary-treasurer. The sponsor for our class, which now totaled 57, was Mr. Snorf. At last, as Sophomores, we could be free from all fears concerning initiation. We chose Dick Moore as President, Bill Cleland as vice-president, and Anna Neidhardt as secretary-treasurer. The majority vote of our 56 members determined as our motto- Life is but a picture, so paint it well , our class flower-white carnation, and green and white as our class colors. Finally, that glad day came when we met with our officers and sponsor, Mrs. Culler, to order our class rings and pins. With our total now down to 47, we entered school as the Junior Class. Many in our class were active members in band, chorus, Latin Club, G.A.A., F.F.A., basket- ball, football and many others, therefore, it kept us all busy trying to earn money to cover our expenses. We feel that we were very successful in our Junior year, which included three main undertakings. We published the Spoondrift every two weeks, our junior-Senior Banquet theme, Spring in a Dutch Garden seemed to go over very well, and last, but certainly not least, our class play, The Amazing Maudie Starr , was received so well by the public that it was more financially successful than any Junior Class Play given since 1941. We elected officers as follows, Pete Pearson, Presidentg Anna Neidhardt, vice-presidentg Betty Tomlinson, secretary, and Albert Zuber, treasurer. Our sponsors were Mr. Zimmerman and Miss Moores. As Seniors, we chose Pete Pearson as President, Bill Cleland as vice-president, Betty Tomlinson as secretary, and Albert Zuber as treasurer. Mrs. Culler and Mr. Chaney, our capable advisors, helped us through a very happy, eventful, and memor- able Senior year. We selected maroon robes with white tassels for Commencement and Baccalaureate. S September 2, 1947, marked the last time we would enter H.H.S. as students. As Seniors, when trying to realize that this was our last year of school, we found a tiny fear, or maybe I should say wonder, of what the new phase of life would be like. Many of the remarks that we made, wishing we were out of school, have been changed to, I can't believe that I'm a Senior! or Gee, I'm gonna' hate to graduate . But, thinking still deeper we know that the best part is yet to come and with this thought in mind, we carry on as future citizens of what we hope to keep a peaceful world. -by Betty Tomlinson P g Twenty-Iwo
