Class Histor Freshman As the summer went by and the fearful month of September crept upon us, we, the brave to-be Freshmen, stamped into these hallowed halls of learning. Undaunted by the suspicious looks cast upon us by the faculty, we reluctantly began our high school education. So occupied were we with our studies, that we received a nasty shock when a delegation of Seniors appeared and announced that we were about to be exposed to that most Entertaining ordeal known as the Freshman Initiation! l ! By some miracle we all survived and got down to the business of electing class officers. For President we chose that fine, upstanding, uncor- ruptable citizen, john Gillander! Other officers were V. Pres.-Harry Dellasanta, Treas.- Ronnie Phelps and Sec.-Judy Anderson. Junior We began our Junior year by electing the following officers: Harry Dellasanta, a very capa- ble executive, was elected President. Ronald Phelps, V. Pres.g Velma Downer, Treas.g and Nancy Pibus, Sec. Hardly had the year begun when we were plunged with both feet into the Junior Play. After weeks of grueling rehearsals, we put on a very successful play called 'fDate Bait. This was also a great financial success, being one of the few activities on which we ever made a profit. Also in January, we sponsored another suc- cessful event called the HVictory Dance in honor of our illustrious basketball team. In May we had our Junior Prom, which des- pite its social success, was an utter financial failure. We wound up the year by going to Lake Whalom on a wild spree. Szxtcerz Sophomore Once again the school was reopened and we marched in, cool and confident. This year we were seasoned veterans, we could sneer as the Freshmen were put through the mill. As presi- dent this year we chose Patsy Fallavallita, a politician of broad experience. Our other officers were: Harry Dellasanta, V. Pres.g Donald Gen- eva, Treas.g and Jane Rindfleisch, Sec. Under Patsy's direction we put on a Sopho- more Hop, the traditional social function of the Sophomore Class. This we called the Harvest Hop! 'l It was very successful and the best social event of the year. Senior Along came the year for which we had long waited. At last we were exalted SENIORS. Again we chose Harry Dellasanta, the only Presi- dent to survive two terms. Other omcers were V. Pres.-Connie Petterson, Treas.-Robert Stewartg and Sec.-Velma Downer. We gave the Freshmen a thorough going-over and then we launched a most unusual get- together, the f'Sadie Hawkins Dance. The rest of our year was taken up by pre- paring this Uinspirationaln volume and trying to get money to pay for it. In order to do this we embarked on a multitude of projects designed to bolster our financial status. Now at last we are free to go our evil way. Some of us may become wealthyg others may land in jail, but welll never stop wishing we could be back to relive the many good times at M.E.H.S.
