DUB HISTUHY The time of parting is here and we Seniors with heavy hearts think back over the years of school in Manchester. We remember the activities in which we participated. There are thirty graduat- ing withthe class of '51, but maybe we had better tell you about our school history. We started out as little toddlers in September, 1939. Weak, timid, scared little things, we were only six years old then and the school seemed like a big place to us. We were afraid of the teach- ers, pupils, and even the school. We went through the first years of Elementary School pretty slow, but after we got used to doing school work and being with oth- ers we went through the rest of the years without any trouble. Finally after eight years of hard work and fun we found our- selves in the ninth grade. Mrs. Shoff was our homeroom teacher that year. We went to Annapolis on our first class trip in May of that year. Pretty soon we found ourselves in the Tenth Grade with Mr. Starkey. This year we went to Washington on our class trip and visited the Capitol and the Washington Monument. We gave the Sen- iors their Christmas party that year and also their Prom, everyone had a grand time. Shorthand! French! Typing! Chemistry! Our Junior Year gave us many new subjects and thrills. Mrs. Haifley taught us at the beginning of the year , but then we had blonde, blue-eyed Mr. Bouey. We all remember him, don't we, girls??? During that year we went to Harrisburg and Hershey. This year we also had a High School Play in which everyone in the class had a part. And now here we are with much dignity, the Seniors! Yes, Seniors of Manchester High School. We are the leaders of the school in extra activities and work, Great and Mighty! During the year we had skating parties, recreation nights, bake sales and also a big Valentine Dance at which we crowned the Queen of Hearts. Then came the first week-end in May. What we had looked forward to for years had finally come - our class trip to New York. It was a grand experience and every one of us will remember it for many years. On June lst we had our Class Night exercises, foll- owed on June 10th by the sermon to the graduates. Then June 12th, our graduation, after which we are no longer students, but alumni. Our records of the past would not be complete without thank- ing everyone who helped us to get to this important step in our life. We shall always remember our dear Alma Mater and hope that all our future lives will be guided by your influence. Now we say good- bye as we go From The Halls Of The School, To The Corridors Of Life.

UUH PHUPHEEY A class reunion and my, what fun! The place - M.H.S. , the class -'51, They met each other warmly and I was there To watch the proceedings, light and fair. I was in that class and anxious to see Just what had happened after a ten years' spree We'd each gone our own way, which wasn't so bad, But the news to catch up on - gad, oh, gad! Annabell and Dolly, Waves they are now, Their gold bars on their shoulders, not aworry on their brow. Miriam, in a Baltimore office does type Business letters and all such the like. George R. and Eugene are men of the soil, On farms of their own they constantly toil. Nat, a full-fledged architect, plans houses and such And Bill Rohrbaugh, the carpenter, gives them their finishing touch Carl Reed goes inside - a good cabinetrnaker he is - The new house has cabinets quick as a whiz. Betty Anne, a receptionist , sweet and polite, Janet Baughman draws pictures fit for sight. , Betty Alban - mission accomplished - now does rave, She's made Jack her husband and loving slave. Otis, so quick to notice every mistake, Has become a critic - what else? - for goodness sake! As a butcher's wife, Margaret's completely happy. Evelyn, so short and cute, has her shorthand boss daffy. Heinz, our German friend, is now a minister of state, While engineer Brown builds bridges wide and great. Grease and oil make a mechanic of Richard Reed, And Shirley, a secretary, every word does heed. As a Phys. Ed. teacher Richard Lippy is tops, And George Z. on his farm, sings while raising the crops. Janet Myers, carefree and happy as a lark, Saved all her money and now owns Forest Park! Jay as a farmer leads a contented, happy life, But that's all because M. Wellborn's his wife. Earl is a handsome, well-dressed business tycoon, June, a secretary, will become Mrs. Brown soon. Dr. K. Green fights germs and disease, And Audrey, a typist, tries hard to please. Dear Therit, many beauty shop customers she's won, But that's because of all the pretty hairdos she's done. Helen Martin - a most accurate bookkeeper by far, Her nice, neat records have nary a mar. And Juanita S. has her own by-line, As a newspaper woman she's doing just fine. l've told you about the old classmates of mine, Incidentally, they all seem to be doing fine. From the halls of school we had a challenge to face, Lnto the corridors of life we went with steady pace.
