X Q X X - O s f e Seniors' Stor t , its lhprurlrlrerll by permission nf Klllljl I l'IlflH'CX Syudicutc, Inv. . . . Allow me to present the class of 194-5, which as the senior class of Manheim Township High School will regretfully take its last bow at the commencement exercises in June. As I dwell upon the past quite candidly, l will say that as freshmen we undeniably lacked prestige. Wide-eyed, we were wholly engrossed in new and bewildering subjects. Then came the biggest blow ever to hit our inexperienced cerebrums-war! ln the ensuing months after that memor- able December Sunday, we, too, were caught up in the accelerated tempo of the times. No really drastic changes affected our quiet, organized freshman lives, however, until, in the course of events, all out of step and attired in our best, we marched upon the platform one fair June day to receive our certificates of promotion, passports to glorious senior high. As sophomores, any unusual event involving the entire class would have been termed by us a phenomenon. Although the advent of war courses, air raid drills, and scrap collections punctuated the school routine, our main concern centered upon the new, demanding subjects that senior high included. Many of us enjoyed participating for the first in the available activities, finding friends among classmates we had known for years and gradually acquiring a feeling of organization which gave our class the faint suggestion of unity. Often we had heard it said that fun begins in one's junior year, so at the end of a profitable but unexciting sophomore term, sincere was our hope that this was not propaganda. With hopeful anticipation we entered our junior year so eager to discover what this year had in store for us that in some classes we may have been deemed ujumpy juniorsf' Enthusiastic classmates sifted into all sorts of organizations, literary, athletic, dramatic, or musical, finding out- lets for their individual talents and energies. As a class, our first attempt at a unified project resulted in the production of A Letter to the Ceneralf' Theatrically inclined students made their debuts before two packed audiences while others filled innumerable small jobs backstage or exer- cised the old sales-talk that set an all-time ticket record for a successful performance. Following the play, our most stimulating assignment was to pen an autobiography. After several desperate attempts, we discovered that we didnlt know ourselves nearly so well as we thought we did. While most of us had labored persistently during the summer to earn our share of those beautiful green souvenirs from the U. S. Mint, we looked forward to our senior year and glorified at the mere fact of actually being seniors. The chain of social events began early with the Beanburger Bar-B-Cue at which we were the guests of the faculty. Our acclaimed senior play Parents and Pigtailsv presented to us a bright aspect upon this year, not only did we cooperate to produce another riotous success, but also proved our earnestness by topping ticket sales of the previous year. Heartened by the outcome of our dramatic enterprises, the class sponsored the Christmas Holly Hop dance. But with the added fun of our senior year, work, too, increased steadily. As seniors we assumed mo-re dominant, responsible positions in school activities. Then there were speeches, more term papers, piles of yearbook work, and not too far in the future-commencement. We have known the light, gay side of life at Manheim Township but we also perceived the sadder, more serious phase as time and again, with prayers in our hearts and cheers on our lips. we saw our pals off to the services. In closing, let us say simply, Thanks to all for the unforgettably pleasant memories that we can fondly remember in the madness that is the world today. Srlrcnlccn
