Senior Class History In September, 1947, twenty bashful boys and girls filed into the right side of the J. T. H. S. assembly. They were: Bernita Adkins, Donna Arnold, Bob Arwood, Merna Ault, Jim Bacon, Jerry Bernard, Harold Cassidy, Lois Dunnuck, Kenneth Haines, Mary Kline, Marabel Kraning, Carolyn Krisher, Fred McGuire, David Miller Donna Otiker, Betty Postill, Marjorie Snyder, Max Sullivan, Erma Swayer, and Cud Willis. We survived the usual initiation, became adjusted to having no recesses, learned to march from one classroom to another, and managed to adjust ourselves very well. The boys soon found places for themselves on the softball, basketball, and track squads. Several of us joined the glee club and the newly organized high school band. We lost only one member of our class that year--Cud Willis. During our Sophomore year, we lost Kenny Haines, but gained Don Runkle. We initiated the Freshmen, had an ice skating party at Miller's pond, and a theater party which ended up at the home of Merna Ault for recreation and refreshments. The last party didn't have a happy ending, as four of the boys piled-up Don Runkle's car while crusing around the country side. It seems Whiney Arwood forgot to pull the emergency brake. At the beginning of our Junior year, we found we were minus Carolyn Krisher, but we gained Don Heckathorn and Norma Shambarger. During the course of the year, Don Heckathorn and Bob Arwood quit school and Harold Cassidy moved to Akron. It was in this year that we proved to be salesmen, actors and actresses, and entertainers. The salesmanship part came in at the home ball games. We sold re- freshments so we could earn money for our Senior trip. To prove our acting ability, we presented The Little Shepherd Of Kingdom Come, the third week in March. This play was claimed by the critics as the best play ever presented at J. T. H. S. Of course, the critics were mostly our parents, who may have been prejudiced, but who are we to say it wasn't the best? '? ? ? ? ? ? For the final event of our Junior year, we escorted the Seniors to the beautiful Maxinkuckee lnn, on the shores of Lake Maxinkuckee at Culver, Indiana, for the Junior-Senior reception. To supplement our theme, Cinderella, we were served a steak supper amid miniture Cinderella figurines, golden slipper nut cups, mice place cards, and memo books made in the silhouette of Miss Cinderella, herself. After the banquet, we saw Walt Disney's movie production of Cinderella. We lost only one classmate during our Senior year--Fred McGuire, who pre- ferred the companionship of Wilma Draper to ours. The first event of our Senior year was a combination wiener roast Halloween party held at Norma Shambarger's home.
