SR. HISTORY CLASS OF 4-9 We were the lowly Freshmen of the year, nineteen hundred and forty five. What a sightJ the girls with their freshly combed curls, and the boys looking very grownup but feeling pretty green. We finally stumbled upon Mr. Wesner who hesitatingly accepted our offer of being class advisor. Our officers were most capable and ambitious. They were pres. Mary Coe, V.Press.—Sherwo d Hunt, Sec.--Barbara Ginther, and Treas.- Rita Powers. The new students who joined us were Sally Kreblehl, Shirley Appleton, Edwin Leathers,' Norman Holder, Jerry Feguer, Keith Greene,Patsy Grice, Doris Gurensey, and George Morris. The year passed very quickly with the Freshman initation, a dance, and a Freshman-Sophomore Party. Oh, what a party.' it would, of course, rain and some poor girl went home without her shoe. Before the end of the year we lost Albert hicks, Stanley Wright, Jean Willard, Shirley Appleton, Patsy Grice, Norman Holder, and Lowell Bolton. The next step up. Sophomore year, was under the supervision of Mr. Burt. After much deliberation the officers we chose to represent us were Pres.—Sherwood Hunt, V. Pres.--Jim Carroll, Sec.--Barbara Ginther, and Treas.--Vivian Higgins. We were off to a flying start by initating the Freshmen. We lost several students, Jim Carroll, Doris Gurensey, Jerry Feguer, and Edwin Leathers but we made up for this by adding to our crew Leo Cook, Lois Irwin, and A1 Fraidenburg. The only other activities were a Halloween Party and a skating party with the Juniors. Our work was less difficult but we worked hard indeed to be called Juniors. Our class advisor was Mrs. Powell, and our officers were Pres.- Vlvian Higgins, V. Pres.--Keith Greene, Sec.--Earbara Ginther, and Treas. Paul Hurst. A very successful Christmas Party was sponsored by the class followed by a dance. The Junior Play, Who Killed Aunt Caroline directed by Hugh Doyle was a big hit. We received our class rings during the second semester. Many girls thought they would never forgive Mary Coe but when the rings finally arrived every one was hapj y. We began looking forward to the time when we would be called Seniors. During the Junior year we lost several students, Stanley Wise, George Morris, Gerard McGrath, and Sherwood Hunt. Our last activity of this year was the annual Junior-Senior Banquet which everyone said was the best yet.' At last.' not lowly Freshmen but sophisticated Seniors. We went about our business in a very quiet manner. Mr. Doyle was the unanimous choice for class advisor. Jane Beehler was given the reins for driving; Lois Brink was chosen to keep her in line; Rita Powers was the arbitrator who settled any dispute and Dolores Basinger was the watch dog of the treasury. A free Teen-Age dance was sponsored by the Seniors. with only a few lights you'd be surprised at the men who ventured on the floor some of them very good dancers too. Our annual Feather Party was a great success and many tired Seniors Just hardly made it home. Our next event was Million Dollar Cook , the Senior Play, again directed by Hugh Doyle. The Seniors were host to a mid-winter dance held at Rogers Hall on Valentine's Day. This year it was otr turn to sit back and enjoy the handiwork of the Juniors at the Junior-Senior Banquet. P’lnally with all our plans complete and the night of graduation near we will all remember our four wonderful years of high school together. Paul Hurst, Kate Walters, Vivian Higgins, Earbara Ginther 15
