iy1IA,.... . . ... T - , ..f v A CLASS HISTORY of Mes '2 The election of class officers were: President - Hugh Sheline Vice President - Helen Bechsteln Secretary and Treasurer - Lois Turner We, as Seniors, knew it was to be our last year, and we decided not make it our least. The usual adjective used in describing Seniors is Ndignifiedna We were anything but that. We were very busy this year with school parties, basketball games, play, annual, and graduation. Our class had decreased in number since Lois Turner moved, John Stimmel joined the Navy, and June Haylett and Shirley Finney were married the latter part of the Junior year. When Jim Hill, from Toledo, joined our class we made the full sum of 20. Our last chance for Dramatics came when we gave our Senior Play WYou Can't Take It With Youn, directed by Mrs. Johnson. it left in our memories thoughts of hard work done, experience gained, and pleas- ant fun. We elected the following officers for our Senior year: V President - Tom Thompson Vice President - Bob Richardson Secretary and Treasurer - Rena Wagner We have the privilege of announcing the nine highest in scholarship in our class: Jack Warner, Valedictoriang Hugh Sheline, Salutatoriang Evelyn Woessnerg Tom Thompson, Ronald Snowy Jacqueline Burdockg Rena Wagner, Bob Richardson, and Loren Bechstein. The class sponsored nThe Pioneern annual during the Senior year with Mr. Smith as financial advisor and Mrs. Johnson as publication sponsor. The following were elected to offices to have charge of the 1946 Pioneer: Editor, Rena Wagner, Assist. Editor, Helen Bechsteing Business Manager, Hugh Shelineg Class History, Helen Bechsteing and Class Prophecy, Bob Richardson. Junior-Senior banquet, Baccalaureate and Commencement all sounded, as bells, waking us from our dream of the future and dispelling the mist. We see before us, not haze, but clear skies and smooth sailing. Yes, we have reached the top goal and we know that the security and the joy of Wby-gone daysu held for us are gone forever. We shall never forgot them and we hope that, as we step out into the walks of life, the hands of the Divine Father shall lead us in the pathway of truth and righteousness. fNXXr r r

BY HELEN BECHSTEIN We as Seniors viewed our-graduation as a dream. How could Time have slipped by so swiftly and taken with it our school days? We woke with a start and realized that we were Seniors---we, who four short years ago entered high school. Then graduation seemed to be only a mist in a hazy far-away future. Now we know it was our awakening, We were Freshmen--yes, 22 of us. To upper classmen we were probably 22 headaches, but oh, how proud we were of ourselves! The members of the class that moved, withdrew from school, or fell behind were: James Inebnit, Cloyce Hedges, Gene Vanscoder, Bob Haas, Florine Parker, Violina Lobdell, and Berton Eckert. New students in our class were: Rena Wagner, June Haylett, Gene Beckford, and Sylvia Mantel. President - Jacqueline Burdock Vice President - Evelyn Woessner Secretary and Treasurere- June Haylett The following year found our class slightly diminished in number, but not in zeal. The members which moved away from school were: Gene Beckford, Wanda Priest, and Vera Palmerton. The one new member in our class was Jack Warner. During the summer we were very sorry to hear of the loss of a very close classmate, George Potter, who had a very pleasing personality and many friends. We elected the following officers: President - Hugh Sheline Vice President - Tom Thompson Secretary and Treasurer - Jack Warner As Juniors we numbered 25. Having been knocked around by our upper classmen for two years at last, as Juniors, we were determined to make a name for ourselves, and we did. As Juniors we found many new responsibilities awaiting for us. In our class some of the individuals were out- standing in sports, others in music, while our pride in Dramatics laid in our Junior Play, WDead of the Nightn under the direction of Mrs. Johnson. We honored the departing Senior class with a formal banquet held at the Women's Club. We enjoyed dancing and other entertainment afterwards at the University Recreation Hall. A navy theme was carried throughout the evening, New students in our class wereg Lois Turner from California, Wanda Priest returning from Portage, John Stimmel and Bill Strausbaugh from the upper class. ...I ,
