Class History As we look back on our four years of high school we realize the many hard- ships we have endured. After those four years of hard work for us and the teach- ers, with a little fun mixed in, ten passengers land at the goal of education. When we started out on our journey there were nine passengers, Arthur Hill left us at the end of the first semester. Several took part in basketball and others ass’st- ed in giving the play, ‘‘Young and Healthy.’ The class officers were: President, Howard Palmer; Vice-president, Stanley Swartzendruber; Secretary-treasurer, Max- ine Liebig. Our instructors were Mr. Skinner, Miss Gingerich and Miss Reber. The next year the passengers numbered nine. Members helped with “Tom Sawyer” and “‘Ruth in a Rush.” Our officers were: President, Charles Gosnell; Vice-president, Maxine Liebig; Secretary-treasurer, Howard Palmer. After a short rest in the land of vacation nine passengers again continued the journey. Although, Vernon Hartzler failed to return our number still remained nine as Mildred Baumruk formerly of Goshen joined our ranks. All the boys took part in Basketball with Stanley receiving honorable mention in the all sectional team. We assisted in the school play, ‘Prize Pigs,’ and the senior play, ‘Hobgoblin House.” We entertained the seniors at the junior-senior banquet, April 21. The social event was sponsored by class president Stanley Swartzendruber, vice-president, Howard Palmer and Secretary-treasurer, Melva Fleming. After another short stop we returned on our final journey. Eight of we seniors took part in the “Operetta” and several took part in “David Copperfield.” All the class took part in the declamatory, Maxine receiving first in dramatic and Florence first in oratorical. In May we gave our senior play, “Huckleberry Finn, Detective.” Our class flower was the sweet pea, our colcr, apricot and silver; our mott o: “Out of the Harbor onto the Deep.’’ Baccalaureate Services were he!d at Frytown Church, May 14. We, the Senior class thus ended our career with commencement exercises held in the assembly of the high school, May 17, 1939. Class Will We the senior class of 1939, about to leave Center Hi, the scene of many trials and tribulations, and step forth into the world, do declare this our last will and testa- ment. To the freshmen we leave our ability to pull through the four years of high school with the least work possible. We leave our accomplishment of “cutting up” and getting by with it, to the sophomores, who usually get caught. To the juniors we bequeath the right to dominate over the rest next year, as we did this year. As individuals we leave the following: “Flossie” leaves her mild disposition to Myrtle, hoping it will help her to control herself under moments of great distress. “Stine” leaves his ability as a gocd ping-pong player to Clifford hoping that he may win the tournament next year. “Trease” leaves his way with the girls to Dickel who has inspiration but little success. “Betty” leaves her shrill scream in self defense to Betty Jacob. “Melva”’ leaves her eyes, her greatest asset, to Raymond, all the better for him to gaze at Helen with. “Doc” leaves his scarf to Ada hoping she may avoid catching cold while walking to school] this winter. “Mort” leaves his shoes, full size, to Bernard hoping that he will not take up as much room in the isles as Mort has in the past. “Mil” leaves her sense of balance to Helen hoping it helps her while skating. “Ruthie” leaves her clear soprano voice to Nora, who still wanders vaguely in those heights. “Max” leaves her brown waves to John whose attempts are still amaturish.
