THE STATESMAN Still clinging to our side wheeler with Miss Doris Kinneman trying to keep us from the pitfalls of a brand new life, we braved the ninth year. During this year of wondering, one of the most successful parties of the high school was given, successful because there was such a large turnout and everyone had a most enjoy- able evening. lt was called the Freshman-Sopomore Hop given with effective decoration at Moulton Hall. At this time there was a great increase in our crew with the addition of Franklin Township and parochial scholars and other helpmates who were Gertrude Apley, Paul Basel, Esther Basel Mary Cook, Thelma Cooper, Evelyn Darrah, john Duke, Lois Henry, Dick Kline, lrene Linger, Anna Deane Poulton, Virginia Spielman, and James Vasil. Sailing in our side wheeler with the feeling that we had com- plete sailing knowledge and we could at last pilot our own ship we entered the tenth grade. But alas, we sank our ship in the storm of modern dance and afterward, we hesitatingly and humbly continued our way in life boats. A very skeptical crew, skeptical as to what high school life was all about, set forth on a lake boat to gain some worthy rec- ognition. The first half of the year was spent in diligently raising funds for our junior-Senior, determined to make it a success. After proving our ability in salesmanship we hopefully entered into plans for the carnival. With the dependable leadership of Norma Oviatt and jim McIntyre, everyone did their bit to make it a huge success. During the fete the boys stepped forth and took hold many responsibilities, carrying them out admirably. The Wonder Team took the spotlight by showing a knowledge and ability of basketball, that left us with high hopes of future basketball. The year closed with Field day, one day packed with events, baseball games, track, a picnic supper, were climaxed by a dance. The changes in our helpmates during the year were LeRoy Hart, Fred Lowe, Edna Mae Overholt, Stephen West, and Doro- thy Tate being new, Evelyn Darrah returned and G. Wilcox left. In the last year, before going our many ways to sally forth on a large and luxurious liner, we were captained by Mr. Gerald Chapman, The Senior Guest dance, an annual affair, given in. Moulton hall, was most sucessful in every way. We are very proud of our two shipmates, Betty McKibben and Gordon Hostettler, who won so many worthy debates. fContinued on page 301 PACE 23
