SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We entered Loogootee High School In the fall of September, 19 9» as freshmen with forty-one students. Our class sponsor was Mr. Alvin Holland. We enjoyed a Halloween party which was held In the home of one of our classmates. At the end of the year our clsss took a trip to Spring Mill State Park. In 1950 thirty-two students entered L. H. 8. as sophomores. We are very sad to say we lost five students during the year. To end the soph- omore year we Journeyed to Spring Mill State Park to spend a rainy day, but we had a very good time. With Mr. Ray Cl®rk as our sponsor we made a successful Jump from silly sophomores to Jolly Juniors. In 1951 we entered L. H. 8. as Juniors. Now we have twenty-eight students In our class. By selling candy snd cokes at the ballgames and at school, we earned enough money to have a successful Junior-Senior Prom which was held at the French Lick Springs Hotel on May 15» As Juniors we received our class rings which made our little hearts very happy. Class sponsors were Miss Crooke and Mr. Young. We also ended the school year with another trip to Spring Mill State Park. Here we are now seniors for which distinction we have all been waiting for socetlra . My how time does flyJ i J We entered good old L. H. S. for our last time with twenty-seven members. During the year we lost four students. Our class sponsor was Mr. Jones. Upon our graduation we wish to express our gratitude to the teachers for splendid co-operation aid undying patience.

We had things set before us, which had to be done, If that next step higher was ewer to be won. We tried our very best, all along the way. Hoping that the time would come when we would reach this day. And now that our Journey has almost reached Its end, We want to thank our teachers and also every friend. For we sometimes wonder how far we could have gone, If our friends and teachers hadn't pushed us on. Compliments of ARROW CAFE

Just as I was leaving my headquarters, I ran into one of my old pals, Dolores Campbell , and she was on a thirty day furlough the same as I, so we decided to go back to good ole Loogootee and Crane. As we boarded our plane who do you think was pilot, but our old classmate Ned Morrlsette. We had a little ahat with Ned before the plane departed and he told us that Donald Vickers, Jack Hardwick, and Donald Neukam were big businessmen who had a large share in the N. V. H.

As the plane landed in Loogootee, we decided to go over to the Arrow and have our breakfast, and to our surprise who do you think was the owner but our old class artist Carroll Ledgerwood.
