Class History In W44, when most of us started kindergarten in all parts of the country, little did we know we would all end up together as a senior class at Mariemont High School. We have come a long way in these short twelve years. Our grade school days were spent writing educa- tional l?l little notes and eagerly awaiting recess time. Then in 1951, we Finally made it to the seventh grade at the high school, where the Dale Park, Fairfax, and Plain- ville gangs united into one big mob. We were all busy that year ioining clubs and getting in the swing of a new routine. Our school spirit got quite a workout, as we attended the football and basketball games with great enthusiasm. And in the eighth grade we all got quite a thrill out of the championship games in which M. H. 3. finally came out on top as Ohio State Class B Basketball Champions, During those junior high years we added Bob Moore, Jack Nantz, Phoebe Acheson, Mary Anne Bowersox, Martha Grainger, and Bob Hinds to our class. As we' joyfully ascended to our freshman year and began working on our credits for graduation, we prompte ly gained a feeling of superiority. At last we were really in high school! We worked hard that year trying to make some money by selling Freshmen beanies. We were the first class to take up that tab and we did pretty well. That year we gained quite a few additions-Jim Nagel, Bar- bara Lewis, Tara McCarthy, Sandra Porter, John Verdon, Pat Whitney, and Carleton Carroll. Our sophomore year was reasonably quiet after our antics as freshmen; but will we ever forget the biology field trip when Johnny Verdon plunged face-first into the creek? New faces that year were Eleanor Doctor, Janie 18 Green, and Janet baden. Ihe main event of the year for us was the beginning of a new school tradition-the Twirp Twirl -given by the Sophomore Class at the end of Twirp Week. As iuniors, our little heads were full of money-making schemes with which to scrape up enough money to pre- sent the seniors with their prom. The goal was reached and everyone agreed that the prom was the best ever. Between money-making campaigns, the iunior play cast found time to present their excellent production of You- Can't Take It With You, which was a huge success. Addi- tions to the class that year were Jean Burton, Gregg Parks, and Jim and Jack Bruftey. All too soon we found ourselves at the top-we were the seniors. As We looked about us in the halls, it seemed strange that there were no upperclassmen. At the beginning of our last year, we were ioined by Jim Rhoads, Mary Ellen Page, and Dave Paul. Our proiects tor the year included editing the Chieftain, magazine sales, the variety show, and the Senior Class Play, Smilin' Through. We were all busy as little bees, and as we worked we were looking ahead to the prom given in our honor, and, above all, graduation. As we walk down the aisle on Graduation Night, our minds are filled with memories of our good times to- gether. Now we will all go our own separate ways, but we will never forget our high school days at Mariemont. Good luck, Seniors, and God bless you all until we meet again.
