645 EREIN we set dovm for all the world to see and judge the glorious history of the illustrious Class of 1950. We began our high school career with the motto, Omni freshmen in tres partes divisa sunt. For indeed all freshmen were divided into three parts--some at Franklin some at Lincoln, and a handful at the main building. Despite unfortunate splitting of ranks, we determined to show the rest of the student body that we were as important a class as any other. Limited though our activities were we managed to attend a few social functions and to cheer on the blue and grey squads. It was not until our sophomore year that we really became an integral part of the school life. We became active participants in various school clubs' and organizations. Our sophomore boys went all out for sports, and it was a primarily sophomore junior varsity that won the I. V. playoffs for 1948. Slowly we progressed and gained in stature until when june came along we were a group well-equipped to take over the tasks of a junior class. As juniors we really came into our own. We were now expected to work hand in hand with the seniors in order to prepare ourselves for the day when we would take over the reins of the senior class, and we lived up to expectations. We started off by pitching in and helping to start the school paper. It was largely through junior efforts on both the editorial and production staffs that the paper was the initial success it was. Our affairs were put into the capable hands of our elected officers and the commit- tee. It was our junior class which originated the Junior Dance held to obtain funds for the prom. The prom at the main building, moving up day and the prom at Lincoln, and even senior class day all have a reserved place in our hearts for we realized that these activities meant the end of the gay, carefree life of a junior and the beginning of the serious business of being a senior. The Class of 1950 assembled breathlessly and started the year off right with a get- acquainted dance, followed quickly by our Hallowe'en Party. However, life was not all fun for us, and we buckled down to the serious business of study. We were especially proud that the Student Council made its debut during our reigning year. The election of officers, the Christmas pageant, vacation, and the mid-term exams came in rapid succession followed by our magazine campaign which proved to be a tremendous success. With the advent of Spring thoughts of coming graduation made us put the well known noses to the grindstone. The last few months were crowded with feverish activity. Besides our earnest preparation for Iune and regents there was the spring play ta masterpiece of productionl, the yearbook, class day, the prom all had to be attended to. Finally the great day comes--the day for which we have been working for four years--graduation. As we march slowly up the aisle to receive our diplomas, the cherished memories of Lackawanna days brings a lump to our throats. Lackawanna shall always live in a special part of our hearts and we shall ever strive to bring honor and glory to her name. 16
