Glam On September 3, 1946, forty-three green but eager freshmen entered High School. Nine days later a very peculiar looking ninth grade class appeared. What fellows wouldn't look odd wearing makeup, dresses, and high heels-and the girls, too, wore jeans iwrong side out and backwards? and had half of their hair up. This bizarre attire was, as you may have guessed, worn for our initiation. Now we were officially in high school! We elected the following officers: President, Forest Penetong Vice President, Joe Leonardg Secretary-Trea- surer, Marcele Matyasg Reporter, Dorothy Smithg Historian, Bernice Gorrell. As our class motto we chose, A hard beginning makes a good ending , as our colors, scarlet and grey: and as our flower, the American Beauty Rose. On November 15, we held our first class party at the School Building. What fun! We later had two other parties, the second at the school on March 7 and the last, a weiner roast at the Roadside Park on May 16. Mr. Spirk, who was our advisor, gave us much able assistance throughout the year. Considering ourselves very much adapted to high school life, we, the same forty-three, came back on September 3, 1947, as sophomores. Our class enlarged to forty-five as we acquired two new members - Kenneth Winegardner and Albert Linhart. We chose these officers: President, Bob Finley, Vice President, Dal Lawrence: Secretary-Treasurer, Margaret Lankerg Reporter, Eugene Farthing: Historian, Marcele Matyas. This year we chose Mr. McVey as our Advisor. To supplement our treasury we sold pop corn at the basketball games in which many of our boys participated. We again had three class parties: On November 15 at the school, an Easter party at Gene Collingwood's, and a surprise birthday party for Bonnie Wedge. These were enjoyed by all. Coming back to school as Juniors, we found forty-one new shiney rings Cwhich were of course the most beautiful yetb waiting for us. We were very sorry to lose two of our classmates-Marilyn Wagner and Dortha Back. The following officers were elected: President, Margaret Lankerg Vice President, Bonnie Wedge: Secre- tary-Treasurer, Margaret Ewing: Reporter, Jane Fisher: Historian, Joanne Spitsnaugle. Miss Harshman was chosen as our advisor. In November we presented our class play, Aunt Cathie's Cat which was given much applause and appreciation. Finding ourselves considerably busier this year, we found time for just one class party. This was a Christ- mas party held at the home of Ramona Bennett. We all exchanged gifts. This year again found us popping and selling popcorn to enlarge our treasury. In the spring we presented the Seniors with a banquet using a Heaven Theme. Delightful harp melo- dies added to the atmosphere. Afterwards we had our pictures taken-a souvenir of a pleasant evening. At the commencement we served as the honor guard standing at attention while the Seniors marched to the solemn strains of Pomp and Circumstancef' At last the long awaited moment was here, we were forty proud seniors. We were very sorry to lose Wilma Benroth. We elected the following officers: President, Dal Lawrence, Vice President, Bob Finley, Secretary, Mar- garet Lankerg Treasurer, Virginia Miller: Historian Marcele Matyas. We chose Mr. Clapper as our class advisor. On November 7, everyone came in his best attire and we set off for Boles-Dandurand Studios in Tiffin where we had our pictures taken. We selected the three-act comedy, It's a Date for our play which was given November 9. Thus we ended our high school acting careers. A surprise birthday party was held at the home of Bernice Gorrell in her honor on Dec. 21. Our last class party was held in the spring. We contributed 575.00 toward the new caps and gowns which the school is purchasing. On May 21 the Juniors honored us with a banquet. A Mexican Fiesta theme was carried out very effectively. 21
