The Freshman Class Eighty-seven aspiring Squires began their search for knighthood when they entered the John Greer castle at the beginning of September, 1950. These Squires, or freshmen, found this castle very much new and different from the previous one they had been in. There were lockers with locks, no desks to keep your books in and in Physical Education you had to take showers, but after while you got used to it. The first thing we did was to have a meeting to elect a class presi- dent and sponsor. Our president was Donna Miller and our sponsor was Mr. Barnhart. Then we had a meeting to elect a Vice-President and Sec- retary, Eddie Snively and Joan Shoemaker. Then came the student council election and Sandra Unger, Carol Metz, Bractor White, and Billy Welty were elected. Homecoming- was next and Joan Shoemaker was chosen to be attendant to homecoming queen. The freshmen also put on a skit, at the homecoming assembly, entitled The Seven Stages of a Man’s Life. At Christmas we helped the sophomores decorate the old building. At the end of the year we had a class party. There were several freshmen very active in other activities, such as Spotlight, and Picayune. We were represented in the fall play by Donna Miller and Billy Welty and in the spring play by Karen Martin. In sports the freshman boys were very active. In football several went out and one, Arlo Cox, won a varsity letter. Several boys went out for basketball and won places on the freshman-sophomore team. For the girls it was G.A.A. and ten were initiated into it. It is our hope that these eighty-seven squires will receive their spurs of knighthood by June of 1954.
