History of The Class of 1950 In the year 1938 a group of 38 boys and girls, excited at the prospects of the many adventures to come, entered the first grade. We were guided through our first year by Mrs. Maude Griffith. When we entered the se- cond grade with an enrollment of 35, Mrs. Jewel Fullerton was there to help us. In the third and fourth grades the same 35 pupils were under the di- rection of Miss Guinivere Lanning. When we entered the fifth grade to be instructed by Mr. Floyd Hurley there were only 34 students and the number decreased to 2.8 in the following year when Mr. Hurley guided us through our bth and last year of grade school. Mrs. Pauline Mittong helped .SU of us to become accustomed to a very confusing system of bells and classes dur- ing our seventh year and first year of Junior High. Under Mrs. Marguerite Johnsonis careful guidance we completed our work in the eighth grade. The class of 1950 entered the Freshman Class in the year 1946, with an enrollment of 27. Mr. Leo Lentz was our home room teacher for the first part of the year and when Mr. Glen Smith came he took over the task. We were entertained at -the traditional Freshman and Senior Reception by the class of 1947. Both boys and girls competed in basketball and other sports during our first year in high school. ln the scholarship tests the following pupils represented our class at Oxford: Science 9, Edwin Zorng English 9, Margy Lou Gerberg Latin I, Joy Miars, Algebra I, Barbara Gies. As Sophomores as pupils continued their studies with Mr. Glen Smith as home room teacher and aide. During this year we acquired our class pins and again competed in sports and other school activities. The boys won the intramural basketball pennant and the girls added one to it. On the scholar- ship team this year were: Latin II, Joy Miarsg World History, Neil Hovisg English 10, Margy Lou Gerber, Biology, Dick Helmlingerg Bookkeeping, Barbara Gies. This year we presented the assembly program, Christrnas at Beanville School. ln the Junior year our class had an enrollment of 23. Under the home room direction of Mr. Donald Holt we participated in all sorts of activities.

We entertained the class of 1949 at the traditional Junior and Senior Banquet. The theme of the banquet was the 49'ers in honor of the famous '49ers of a century ago. Dur ing this year we published the Ja Ce High Lights, the editors being Clara Mae Smith and Margy Lou Gerber. Also we published the annual Ja Ce Hi for the first time since 1942.

Prophecy CAROLYN ALLINGER is leading a very happy life in Montra being the private sec- retary to its new mayor. JAMES DUFF has inherited the Duff Truck Line and is now at his home office in Sidney. The girls still follow him around trying to get a look at him as they did in his high school days. JAMES FRIES is playing professional basketball for the Jackson Center University. The team is in Europe playing exhibition games. MARGY LOU GERBER is the new head nurse in John Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore Md. We don't hear much from her but by the reports, she has never married. Guess her high school romance never quite wore off. BARBARA GIES has fulfilled her one sole ambition: Raising little Rosengartens. DONALD GLICK is still trying to talk his way out of things. We wonder if he will ever run down. ROSEMARY HAWKINS is the proprietor of Hawk-Shaw's Corner. The restaurant is a favorite hangout of all the college kids. However, she has never lost the de- sire to become a grade- school teacher. LOREN HEINTZ is still the County's No. 1 romeo. RICHARD HELMLINGER and wife Ruth are at home to everyone at their farmhouse north of Jackson Center. They were voted the States most ideal couple at the Annual Farmer's Convention. NEIL HOVIS has been quite prosperous since he is general manager of Hughes Market He is still wooing the boss's daughter. LORETTA KENDALL is now the owner of Rink's Motor Sales at Wapak. She special- izes in Harley-Davidson motorcycles. WILLIAM LENHART is still single and playing the field. Fun for all! JAMES LEININGER has reached the height of his ambition. He has his own band, play ing hot music on his sax and vocalizing in the James Leininger style. When he is not on tour, he beats a path to the Smith home. RALPH SAILOR is now managing the Cincinnatti Reds and has won the world series pennant by his superb pitching of 19 straight wins. CLARA MAE SMITH is now private secretary in the Jackson Center Creamery and waits rather impatiently for the Leininger Band to come home from tour.
