What a parade we made, for ignoring all records of previous freshmen, and all regulations determin- ing what future freshmen should be, we failed utterly in the arts of be- ing tongue-tied and bashful. Since we were the largest class, at the time, we could afford to have a brave attitude. Our chief ambition, how ever, was to achieve the grand total of forty inmates! Our first year found us occupying half the stage as our home-room, with Mr. Mullen lpoor defenseless man! as our advisor. Other members of the faculty were: Mr. Boothe, Supervising Principal, Miss Ide, Home Bc.: Miss Adamchek, English and Music, and Mr. Saphore, Agriculture. However due to the absence of Miss Adamchek at the mid-term, a new faculty mem- ber arrived to take over both the English and coaching responsibilities. His name was Mr. Vershinski, and he did a swell job during his short time with us. At this time we were happy to welcome two new members. They were: ' Joseph Borek from Philadelphia and Myrtle Hakes from Williamsport. But alas! Our dream of a class of forty was never fulfilled. Two boys, Ronald Yanney and Charles Tinkham, wishing to relieve themselves of the burden of education, retired from school, and later, following their de- parture, Joe Borek returned to HPhillyu, while Robert Fontaine and Leon- ard Kobbe became full-time farmers. . Our class officers were: President, Bernadine Vogt, Vice President, Dick Hugo, Secretary, Bob Pardoeg Treasurer, Joanne Baumunk, and Hist- orian, Shirley Gloeckler. As Freshmen we found our social activities limited, but being an ac- tive class, our daily activities never dwindled. In our class, exciting things never ceased, and we were often rewarded with the task of re- writing nOle Webstern or awaiting nwhacksn in the office. During the term we did attend a movie, and various members participated in many school activities including cheer-leading, senior Play, and commencement Our Sophomore year brought about some changes. This year we were entering with a decreased number of thirty-four, and destined to pursue knowledge under the guiding hand of Mr. Carl Driscoll, our new advisor, who had also stepped very efficiently into the deserted office domain to become Supervising Principal. Our home-room now occupied part of the shop which had been converted into two classrooms during summer vaca- tion. M . Vershinski's vacancy was filled by Mr. Barrow, who was soon favorably accepted by all. Class officers for the year were: President, Joanne Baumunk, Vice President, Shirley Gloeckler, Secretary, Carol Molyneaux, Treasurer, Vera Caseman, and Historian, Phyllis Miller. Casualties this year were Arley and Regina Sayman who moved to Du- shore. Also missing in action was David Fetherbay, who was to bless Sonestown High School for the remainder of his high school career. With our first class meeting, we found we had wl.3l as total funds. The state of bankruptcy was never quite reached, however, since we ac- cumulated S2S.O6 before the end of the school yearlx The fall of 'MB found us all entering shcool as Juniors, with even more definite changes, for we were now within the walls of the Loyalsock Joint High School. It is true that beneath her fresh paint our school had not physically changed, but her self importance had every reason to burst with pride, for she now claimed all the seventh and eighth grades of the following districts: Forksville, Hillsgrove, Fox, Forks, and Elkland. U Backing her new responsibilities were the following additions to the faculty: Miss Grace Laverty, Music and Artg Mr. Floyd Masteller, Social subjec s and industrial Arts and Mr. Paul Markiewicz, Sciense. They were all wonderful additions and contributed much toward our school program. However, with eight on the faculty, we had to chase that old man knowledge pretty hard, and the word nhookyn could no longer be in- cluded in our vocabulary. Class Officers were: President, Donald Bowng Vice President, Vera -.. ..4.............a..,....4....... .....f,-....... 4..-.......as.......a.4..........-..........,.. .....f....,.... 4 aaa 4,.a......1..4.4..z..a.: 4.,,. ..-.-,...,-,..--..,

KCLASS HISTORY - cont'dJ Casemang Secretary, Dotty Lowisg Treasurer, Milo Edking Historian, Kenny Bedford. During November, with the help of Mr. Markiewicz, our advisor, we successfully launched our first Community Fair, the proceeds of which contributed toward our Washington Trip expenses. At last there was an increase in the treasury, but our class body was doomed for another de- crease. Both Kenneth and Dale Bedford left us, deciding on an early start at the business of making a living. They were followed by Vera Shaffer, whose early departure was due to illness. Later on, with the help of Mr. Masteller, we published a newspaper, reporting the latest school news. At last the fall of 'h9'arrived, and we were entering the same class- room with the same advisor, but as full fledged Seniors, and to remain such, for better or worse, until Commencement did us part. Our class officers were: President, Bob Pardee: Vice President, Ricky Robbinsg Secretary, Dotty Lewisg Treasurer, Milo Edkin and Historian, Alpha Cott. With the exception of one alteration our faculty remained the same. Mr. Witmer reported for duty as the new Ag. teacher, replacing Mr. Sa- phore, who left during summer vacation. The first class meetin reported the funds at the start of the year to be the great sum of Z'gB225.00. Our first activitywas the annual Hal- lowe'en Party, which was exceptionally well attended. Since many of the class came in costu e, we also had our funl Our next duty was to get the contents of the yearbook under way, and we began that task by giving the yearbook her new name of Loyalsock Echoes. We then organized our staff. By Thanksgiving we had raised e- nough money through the selling of advertisements to cover the yearbook expenses. To meet that ever present problem of our Washington Trip expenses, we once again tackled the plans for a Com unity Fair, our second, which was held during the first week of hunting season. During the first week of December we accomplished the impossible --- that is, we had our graduation pictures taken without any serious came- ra destruction involved. , Christmas time found us still wondering about the Freshman Class, who had taken their place very nicely, and still seeking refuge from the seventh and eighth grades as they charged down the Grange steps. The following month found our faculty confirmed naspirin addictsn, for they had finally distributed the parts for our Senior Play. The remainder of our year was spent in many ways. Perhaps then we were remembering our own personal history of our high school years, for that history represents days we will never forget. As the night of graduation nears, when we will all be together for the last time, I wonder if it will be as easy to say goodbye to school life as we have anticipated. That night will mean goodbye to Loyalsock, yet few will say it without adding, I'll miss you .
