CLASS H STORy On September 5, 1944, we, the class of '48, might have been seen, if one looked closely, lurk' ing among the shadows in the confusing maze of corridors of Lancaster High School. To us it all appeared grim and foreboding. As time passed, however, our premonitions gave way to enjoyment and pride in our class and our school. In our excitingly different new school life, we enjoyed much greater freedom. At first it was very difficult finding our classrooms, remembering our locker combinations, and getting acquainted with the new routine of the high school. Soon we were well enough established to con- duct the election of our class officers. Kenny Barnes, president; John Towt, vice-president; and Gloria Haas, secretary-treasurer, became the lead- ers of our class. We learned that the high school took time out now and then for song festivals and other inter- esting assembly programs. We elected Shirley Freeland freshman attendant to the Homecoming Queen. In the spring of this year we witnessed history in the making. On April 12 all nations were shocked by the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Then on April 16 came the termination of the Great Conflict in Europe. The upperclassmen became aware of us talent- ed “Freshies” when, on May 18, we presented the Freshman Talent Program. The following year found us more accustomed to high school work, and, thanks to Miss Hudson and Mr. Dugger, the Big Brothers Club was organ- ized. The purpose of this club is to welcome the incoming freshman boys. The class offices were dominated by boys: John Towt, president; Paul R. Brown, vice-pres- ident; and Kenny Barnes, secretary-treasurer. We were very well-informed about our school activities owing to the re-establishment of our school paper, the Purple Pepper. On November 2, Shirley Freeland was again elected to serve as attendant to the Homecoming Queen, who this year was her own sister, Carol. The Junior Chamber of Commerce and Lancas- ter High School students cooperated to organize one of the highlights of our sophomore year, a youth center called the Gay-Teen Club. Our sophomore year ended abruptly on May 31 when we received our final grades. The three shortest months of the year elapsed and we re-entered school as confident upperclass- men. The class elections had become an annual routine by now. We selected the following people to run our class: Fritz Hoffman, president; Eugene Cole, vice-president; and John Towt, secretary-treasurer.
