We entered high school with an enrollment of twenty-two members. We were rather green at first, but because of the kindness of the upper-classmen and the faculty, we soon felt at home. September 2 0, 1945, the Junior Class sponsored the annual Freshmen Initiation Party, where all we Freshmen were delightfully entertained but we were frightened at the thought of being initiated.

The Senior Class had a meeting February 23, 1949, at which time we changed our motto from “Climb Though The Rocks Be Rugged” to “Rise and Do”. April 3 0, May 1 and 2 and the Senior Class went on their long awaited trip to Washington, D. C. Among the famous places we visited were the Capitol, House of Representatives, the United States Senate, Washington’s Monument, Mount Vernon and the White House. Mr. and Mrs. Alcorn went along as our chaperons. The trip was very interesting, educational and exciting. We were accompanied by the Senior Class of Hamlin Township. May 26, 1949, the Senior Class held the annual school picnic at Parker Dam. Every student had a wonderful time. May 17, 1949, the Senior Class President presented the Mantle to the Junior's President. We read our Class Will and History. May 22, 1949, the “Senior’s Commencement night. This was perhaps the sad- dest most wonderful time of our school days. We thanked the teachers who helped to make that Commencement night possible. For the teachers surely had patience and understanding with each Senior. 8 Evelyn Hixon SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the class of '49 of Huston High School, City of Penfield in the State of Pennsylvania, being sound in yiind and memory, do hereby make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament in manner and form following hereby revoking any will or wills, heretofore made by us.

Did you know that the shape of your noses Your minds and your future discloses? Just to prove that my powers are ample I shall give you a wonderful sample.

We’ll remember our teachers, and classmates so dear And the years spent in Huston Hi. No matter what happens we’ll ever recall These days that we now bid “goodbye”. Dear friends we are sorry Goodbyes must be said Perhaps we can explain This is the day we must get underway, And look for our castles in Spain. Instead of just dreaming We’ll “Rise and Do” And thus make our motto come true While gratitude always to our school we’ll express For paving our road to success. Jo Ann Lewis Dinah Longo CLASS POEM “Farewell” The class of 1949 must leave dear Huston Hi, For there are voices calling “Rise and Do” Our motto floating into the sky The world awaits us long overdue. The yellow rose our flower and the colors white and green, We must live with rest and beauty; As we drift along life's stream In the world of toil and duty. Our teachers and our classmates, we will miss as we go on, Who gave us faith today; That they helped us reach the goal we won, This long awaited day.

Many stunts were inflicted on the Freshmen. After the Initiation refreshments were served followed by a dance. Every- one had an enjoyable evening. A Thanksgiving Dance sponsored by the Junior Class was held on Thursday Night November 25, 1948, at the Penfield Grange Hall, music was furnished by the Variety Four. A Hunter’s Dance sponsored by the Senior Class was held on November 29, 1948. Music was furnished by Bud Moore and his Hillsdale Hillibillies. Many hunters attended our dance which made it a great success. The Senior Class sponsored many movies at the beginning of the year to raise funds for our trip to Washington, D. C. The Juniors have taken over the movies for the remainder of the year. The names of some pictures were Jive Junction, 92nd Street, and Razors Edge. The Senior Class presented a play “Betty Jane From Punkin Lane’’, December 17, 1948, at the Penfield Grange Hall. In the afternoon we had a matinee and in the evening a performance,. The play was a great success. Many basketball games were played during the season in which girls and boys played. We are sorry to say that they were not victorious in all the games. The girls played many excellent games and lost two. We did not mind losing most of the boys games, because we all know that they played to their best ability. The Junior Class presented the play, “The Nutt Family’’, on April 12, at the Penfield Grange Hall. The play was a great success and very interesting. The Seniors and Faculty attended the annual Junior and Senior Ban- quet, on May 5, 1949, at the Golden Yoke, Luthersburg. I am sure that evening will be remembered as the Juniors were very entertaining and humorous. May 26, 1949, the Seniors sponsored the annual High School picnic, which was held at Parker Dam. There were plenty of sandwiches and pop. We Seniors regret to say that it was our last school picnic.
