1947 CLASS HI .TORY As We Were In '43 In the fall of 1943 a new group of students-to-be, entered the halls and classrooms of L. H. 'S. to be in- structed and seasoned in different fields of study. The group was to become the class of '47 and numbered sixty- seven. At first all were a little shy but overcame this as time went by. Many of the boys and girls partici- pated in basketball and baseball with several playing on the varsity squad. During this year, one of the group, Paul Palmer, left the class and joined the Navy. The big event of the year was the movie and picnic near the close of school. On one frisky September morning our class entered its sophomore year slightly smaller, but large enough to initiate the incoming freshmen. The work was harder but each one was determined to make the grade. Many engaged in the extra-curricular activities and starred in such things as the high school play, operetta, baseball, and basketball. The picnic highlighted the events of the year.

When the third year began, school opened with a bang for all the students. The members of the class studied and worked hard in order to uphold the title of Juniors In the fall of this year class rings were selected and all anxiously awaited their arrival. Many members of the class engaged in the sports and extra-curricular activities about the school. In March of this year the juniors and seniors attended a 'Career Conference at Gettysburg College. The most import- ant event was on May 3 when the juniors held the annual Prom with the seniors as guests. The last event of the year was the picnic held in St. ,Iohn's woods. In the fall of 1946, when the senior year started our num- ber had dwindled to forty-six happy, anxious students and we realized that our high school days were nearly over. One of the main happenings of this school term was the Senior Play Bogeyman which was attended by a capacity audience. Again this year the seniors and juniors attended a Career Conference at Gettysburg. The highlights of the final year were the Prom, at which all enjoyed themselves immensely, and the trip to Washington where each and every senior had a wonderful time. The trip lasted two days and consisted of visits to the White House, Smithsonian Institute and sight-seeing excursions around the city. In closing this history the members of the class of '47 wish to extend their gratitude to the members of the faculty for the help received from them, and the interest they have taken in all our endeavors and to the student body for their wonderful cooperation. And so we bid all farewell. Charles Hall, Historian.
