The 49'91'Stl..6Q'BI'idii Members of the class of 194-9, we've struck it rich. We have achieved one important goal toward our future of success-graduation from high school. We began our journey back in the year '46 when we started our trip through high school. That first year of traveling was the hardest, because he had to adjust to the exciting and be- wildering life of an upper classman. We chose as our leaders in our first quarter of the journey Tom O. Campbell, president, Bill Plikerd, vice-presidentg Dean Bacon, secretaryg Marian Sond- heimer, treasurer. qMany of us joined the activities open to freshmen, and many of us made names for ourselves and our class. Oh, perhaps we were a little green, but we were now old enough to be included in the senior high activities. How we loved it! Our sophomore year came, and we began to stake a real claim for our class in all the phases of school activities. Bill Plikerd was chosen president, with Marian Sondheimer, Bev- erly Stover, and Susan Morrison filling the positions of vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. We now had girls and boys on varsity cheerleading, boys on varsity athletic teams, boys and girls in the senior band and the senior A cappella choir, and many other students were participating in all of the senior high activities. We weren't so green any more, for we were quickly learning the ways of upper classmen. Our junior year found us digging in with big plans for our first junior-senior prom. Uur leaders in that big project were our able and energetic boys-Tom 0. Campbell, presidentg Bill Plikerd, vice-presidentg Dean Bacon, secretary and Ed Pike, treasurer. We were real upper- classmen! No longer did we followg we were becoming leaders! Our boys and girls were not mere members of organizations, they were important workers in every activity in which they participated. And then came the last and the best-our senior year! We established our camp in Room 307, and all of us realized that we were going to have to work together in order to strike it rich on our claim. We didn't have the biggest class it's trueg in fact-we boasted only one hundred and eighty-eight. You can take our word for it, we were one hundred and eighty-eight of the most ambitious, fun-loving, and busiest seniors that ever arrived in 307. ln a roaring election campaign held during our junior year we had chosen Bill Plikerd as our president. Bill had a big job to do and Keith llumbert, vice-president, Beverly Stover, secretary: and Blanche Roeder, treasurer, were always ready and waiting to lend a helping hand. We also had committees to help plan our class projects such as the senior class party, the motion picture sponsored by our class, and our senior class play. The football team boasted nine senior lettermen--nine of the hardest fighting fellows on the team. The team finished with seven victories and two losses-e-a record which rated our team second best in the history of Central liligh School. One of our victories was a thirteen to nothing win over South, and that was a feather in our hat. Five hard working boys rated as five good players on our varsity basketball team. They finished with a record of ten wins and seven losses. In track, baseball, golf, and tennis the sparks of every team were our energetic senior boys. The girls participated in sports, too. When they weren't watching their favorite heroes perform, they were holding their own on their G.A.A. teams. ' Don't think, however, that sports were our only interests. The A cappella choir boasted twenty-one senior members, three boys were members of the first string debate team, many musical minded boys and girls played instruments in the Senior Band, the Senior Orchestra, the Swing Band, and Senior Strings. We seniors were interested in dramatics, too. We proved that fact when senior play try- outs showed enough talent to produce a double cast class play-that was something which had never been done before. Well, it's all over now. We've only mentioned the big things here. lt's the little things which we'll tlndoubtedly remember the longest. How can we ever forget our big happy family in 307, the football program the girls put on for us before the Middletown game, the South- Central decorations in 307, the big rally we threw before the game, the collection we took for our wounded senior football player, the Christmas decorations and the way the kids brought in all the food and clothing for the poor kids, Christmas, our class discussions during home room period, our senior play try-outs, our senior class party and all the fun we had, and last but not least, our Mom and Pop. Yes, class of '49, it's these little things that have made us rich, and say, hasn't it been fine? ' BEV AND LORINE page nineteen
