TO MISS MCGUIRL ISS McGuirl was graduated from William Smith College. After a few years of teaching elsewhere, she came to lamestown. First, she taught Latin and Prenchg recently she has changed to the English Depart- ment. Always her students have found her courses enjoyable because of her kindly lrish humor. A gift for tactful guidance and leadership has endeared her to us as Class Advisor. ln appreciation we dedicate our written mem- ories to Miss McGuirl, because it was she who made them worth keeping. We earnestly hope that in later years these memories will be as delightful to her as they will be to us. 12

.-Semm Glen Jlatw, OW that we are nearing the end of our high school careers, we begin to reminisce of the time when we first entered the halls of Iamestown High School. After spending the first few days in meeting teachers and classmates, we Sophomores elected this very capable slate of officers: President .............,.. Thomas Sarro Treasurer ..,........ .,.... I ohn Beers Vice President ......,.,.,. Robert Hoover Keeper of Properties ........ George Merz Secretary , ....,.,......... Ella Iohnson Historian ,....., ., ...,.. Donald Richetti The wisdom of our choice was proved when Thomas Sarro, the class president, was presented the Boy-of-the-Year Award , given by the Optimist Club. Under the able guidance of Miss Florence McGuirl, our class advisor, the first big event, a reception given for parents to tour the building and meet the teachers, was a success. Thevreception was attended by over six hundred people. Later we presented a Sophomore Assembly that exhibited the talents of our class. The Assembly portrayed a small circus, the main act of which was that of magic by Byron Asteriadis. The Sophomore party, at which a grand floorshow was given, was another success. Navy blue and yellow were chosen for the class colors, with the white Carnation for the class flower, our motto is Satisfaction Through Service . In the fall of 1946, another excellent slate of officers was elected: President ............... Richard Holroyd Secretary ....,..,....,... Warren Kelley Vice President ....,... Donald Shellgren Treasurer ..,...,... Robert Swanson Keeper of Properties .......... Ted Olsen Our first accomplishment was to be one hundred per cent in the collec- tion of class dues. A few Iuniors donned make-up and presented a play, The Poor Fish , considered by many to be one of the best plays ever presented by a Iunior class. The play was ably cast and directed by Miss Paetznick. One splendid example of class initiative was our Blue and .Yellow , issued every two weeks. This informed the luniors of all important facts and activities Concerning their class. We Iuniors started a custom which we hope will become a tradition of IHS throughout the following years. This tradition was that of holding a Moving Up Assembly where the departing Seniors give up their assembly seats to the Iuniors. This was tried, and made a very favorable impression on all that attended. ' The greatest day of our Iunior year was when our Charles E. Hall debat- ing team defeated the Seniors and won the trophy. The team consisted of Kay Rosequist, Paul Greenlaw and Rupert Wright. As a grand finale to our lunior year, we were hosts to the Seniors at the Iunior-Senior Reception. This was attended by many. The outstanding fea- ture of a great floorshow was a song written and sung by Mary Snyder, as a tribute to the graduating class. Early in the fall of 1947, we, the new Seniors ordered our class rings and pins, most of which arrived during Regents Week in Ianuary. 14
