Class History In September, 1946, a large and very brilliant class entered the High School, In due time, these students elected class officers who were: President, Joel Gregory; Secretary, George Christ; Treasurer, Joan Powell; and the Great Class of ‘50 came into full sway. It was in December 1946, that a crowd of self-conscious and happy Freshmen gathered together and enjoyed a very successful sleigh ride, chaperoned by our sponsor, Mr. Charron. The following year the Class of 50 again responded to the call of the bell which brought some new faces, Mr. Schroeder consented to sponsor the “know-it-alls,” with the following officers: President, Mary Lou Bolton; Secretary, Diana Shue; and Treasurer, Norma Arnold; with Connie Holder as a replacement. During the last semester, several successful parties were held. In September, we became Jaunty Juniors with Nolan Lee as President; Joan Powell, Vice President; Diana Shue, Secretary; and Edul Brewster, Treasurer. Again Mr. Schroeder was chosen to be sponsor. A very successful Feather Party was held at the high school. During March, our class rings arrived. “Here Comes Charlie,” starring Joyce Brownlee as “Charlie,” a play directed by Mr. Doyle, was a great success. For the Seniors, we threw a banquet and prom, decorated with gray and rose and the theme being “Good Luck.” The next September, we became dignified SENIORS, --the goal which we had sought to obtain--and then with all our privileges and honors, we felt as if the school could hardly progress without us. We elected our officers who were: President, Mary Lou Bolton; Vice-President, Phyllis Lile; Secretary, Helen Rowley; Treasurer, Connie Holder; of whom great things were expected in order to make this class the best that was ever graduated from L. H. S. A Feather Party was held to promote our Senior Trip. Another play, “Let Me Out of Here” was given which was directed by Mr. Doyle, our sponsor, and was another great success. Nolan Lee and Carleton Huff were two comedians trying to hide the rips in their trousers. The grand Senior Trip and the delightful banquet and prom spelled the “finis” of th . joys of our high school comradeship. And so endeth the history of the Class of 1950. Barbara Croy, Edul Brewster, Nolan Lee and Harold Hurst You can always You can always You can always You can always tell a Freshman by his vacant stare, tell a Sophomore by the silly things he’ll wear, tell a Junior by his silly strut and such, tell a Senior but you can’t tell him much. 13
