Senior Class History Enrolling at Manlius Township High School in September of 1941, were 24, freshmen---eleven girls and thirteen boys. Our instructors were: principal, Mr. Hake, Coach Taylor, Mr. Hendrix, Mr. Sweet, Miss Wendling, Miss Giese, and Miss Sutter. One of the most cherished thoughts of our school days is the memory of initiation day which fol- lowed a few weeks later. As class advisor, Mr. Hendrix helped us past the difficult times of a Freshman year. We returned the next September as Sophomores, having lost sev- en of our classmates: Bettilee Renner, Marlo Charleton, Marjorie Fordham, Marion Johnson, Verla Rosenow, Glenn Immel and De- Wayne Rogers. The faculty had also changed. Mr. Ammon replaced Mr. Hake as principal, Coach Bohles, Coach Taylor, Mr. Rice, Mr. Hendrix, Mr. Jensen, Mr. Sweet, Miss Newman, Miss Giese, Miss Powell, Miss Sutter, and Miss Wendling remained for a second year. Though losing in number, our school spirit still prevailed and we once more returned to Manlius High to further our education and for various other reasons. YVe gained one student from Walnut, Mari Lynn Lancaster. We lost four, Dorothy De Bolt, Ruby Littlefield, Doris Karriker and Charles Nelson. The following changes affected the faculty: Mrs. DeMunn replaced Miss Powell, Miss Van Ormer, Miss VVendling, Coach Theus, Coach Bohles. When we returned for a fourth year, changes in the faculty were as follows: Mr. Moore replaced Mr. Ammon as principal, Miss Roeder, Mr. Jensen, Mr. Weber teaching Mathematics and Sciences. At the beginning of the second semester, Miss Mills replaced Miss Roeder. Our classmates also had changed: Mari Lynn Lancaster and Harold Rollo. Then our enrollment numbered twelve. We sincerely hope we will all be able to finish our education here in spite of the fact that some may be called into the service of our country, making this impossible.
