fdszsy 1 9 I In the fall of 1947 eighteen green freshmen entered Juniata High School, eager to see who would be their new classmates. Our sponsor for the fresh- man year was Mrs. Nora Lewis. We were different from most classes for we were looking forward to initiation instead of dreading it. We found out it was more pleasure than work, for we d1dn't have to study too much that week. During the first semester Henry Hoover moved to Glenvil. Jerry Siler at- tended for about six weeks during the middle of the school year. Jean McLain came in the middle of the year and finished the school year with us. The class had one party during the freshman year which was held in the school basement. Games were playedand.popoorn, candy, and pop were served. Our sophomore year found us better acquainted with the school routine. We felt pretty good now for we were no longer called 'green fresh1es.' This year the class started with an enrollment of seventeen pupils. Ralph Struss was a new member of the class. He had attended Hastings High School his freshman year. Jean McLain did not return. In the first semester we lost Henry Gutlerres, who quit school. and Connie Schaaf, who moved to Lincoln. During the second semester we gained Carole Wymore who came here from Fairfield. The class had a party which was a hayrack ride to Crystal Lake. We enjoyed ourselves with a watermelon feed after we got there. Our sophomore sponsor was Mr. Robert Johnson. In 1939 we were Juniors and upperclassmen. This year we felt very proud for we knew we had many more important events ahead of us. We also felt that this year we could make ourselves known. This year our enrollment had decreased to the smallest number we had ever had. We began the year with only fifteen pupils. The first semester we lost one of our classmates of long standing. Clarys Sergeant, who moved to Tuscon, Arizona. She is attending school there in the large Amphitheater High School. During the last semesterwelost Robert Junker who quit school on account of time missed because of illness. The class had two parties during the Junior year. The first was a theater party in Hastings. The second party wasa 'kids' party at the home of Wilma Jean Uden. We also had a farewell party for Clarys at the Gangwish home, but these two parties were not school sponsored parties. The other school party was a hayrack party to Van Meter's pasture along the Platte River. We invited guests. and a very enjoyable time was had by everyone.

One of the most enjoyable events of the Junior year was the preparing and presenting the Junior play. Socially Ambitious. The night of the play was a thrilling one for us, for that day we had received our class rings The last of the year we spent many weeks preparing for the Junior-Senior Banquet, the most important event of the year. We chose as our theme 'The Gay N1net1es.' On September U our class assembled on the first day of school for the last time. for we were now seniors. There were only ten of us who answered the opening bell. Donna Myers entered later, on September 25 but left again on December 8 to be gone most of the rest of the year. She was undergoing a series of operations on her throat. Robert Uden did not return for his senior year. Officers elected for the senior year were: president, Kenneth Kunceg vice president, Wilma Jean Udeng secretary, Shirley Graham: treasurer, Tommy Devenyg and news reporter, Marilyn Gangwish. Mr. Gangwlsh was our class sponsor. The first big excitement of the year was our sponsoring the freshman initi- ation. It was rather nice being bowed to, having our books carried, and getting free shoe shines. The party the night of September 15 hadthe usual pranks to be played on the freshmen followed by square dancing. Our fall party was held at the school basement. Bunco and other games were enjoyed and a chili feed rounded out an evening of fun. Duringthe fall the class also dec1ded:n1the type of graduation announcement we wanted and the kind of caps and gowns we would wear for commencement. About the same time we decided on the division pages and cover type and de- sign for the Green Dr on. Inthemeantime theadsalesmen were busy getting enough advertfsfng soii to pay for the publication of the Annual. After Christmas work in getting the Annual ready beganin earnest. The work was scheduled to be finished by the middle of March. The pictures were taken on February 8 and as soon as they returned the work of assembling the layouts and filling in the printed material began. On March 19 Marilyn and Carolyn Gangwish took the Nebraska University Regent's exams. work was begun the week of March 19 for our senior play, Don't Darken My Door. All the graduating members of the class were in lt. It was a very Humorous play that involved the solution to the love problems of three couples. On April l2and.l3 the play was presented. Mr. Mason was sponsor. To raise money for sneak day the seniors sold refreshmentsat the Mid Rivers Junior High Basketball Tournament and in March they sponsored a town-team basketball tournament. At last the big day arrived. The group left on Saturday, April 21, and returned Monday evening, April 23. ust ask any senior where they went and how much fun they had! The biggest, the beet, the event mostlooked forward to in the senior year was the Junior-Senior Banquet. The Juniors did a royal Job of preparing and presenting this affair in our honor. The night of April 27 will long remain in our memories. The two final events of the year were those that really set us out into the world with the feeling that we had only begun our education during the twelve years we had spent in public school. Our baccalaureate service was held on Sunday evening. May 13 and the commencement exercises were held on May 18. Both events were held in the auditorium which was nicely decorated by the Juniors in our class colors: Scarlet and Silver Grey. The class flower was the American beauty rose and the motto was 'The Door to Success Is Labeled Push.'
