Class History History is defined as a branch of knowledge that records and studies past events. Many think of history as a boring subject, but the history of the Class of '51 somehow strikes a note of interest within us. Let us now review it. Our chapter in the history of the classes attending McComb School starts in the fall of 1947. Thirty-six students were present with Bonnie Strouse joining us from Findlay. We chose as our class officers: John Haley, President, Herbert McMaster, Vice President, Lynn Farthing, Secretary, Ted Martin, Treasurer, Joyce Dishong, Reporter, Shirley George, Historian, and Mr. Spirk was our advisor. Black and gold were chosen as class colors with the yellow rose for our flower. In September, we attended the '6Burn in our ridiculous attire and were accepted into high school with the annual initiation. Two class parties were enjoyed, the first held on October 25th and the other in May. In the course of our Sophomore year, we lost Beatrice Bach, Shirley George, Joan Smith, and lva Spence, while Barbara DeRodes came to us from Van Buren. This year we chose as our officers the following: Presi- dent, Bill Joseph, Vice President, Marilyn Ewing, Se:retary-treasurer, Grace Newell, Historian, Joan Shar- ninghouse, and Reporter, Richard Haddox. Mr. Spirk was again our advisor. Among our activities of the year were two parties, a Halloween party on October 16th at the home of Richard Haddox and a party at the school house on January 29. Several of the boys were included in the sports events during the year. Bonnie Strouse and Barbara De Rodes left us during the second semester, our enrollment now was thirty-one members. As we again stood on the threshold of another year, our Junior year, we were filled with a determination to make the remaining two years of our high school life even more beneficial and happy than the prezeding ones. Vacation brought- with it the loss of one of our members, Lois Foltz. Bonnie Strouse joined us again. Our enrollment remained thirty-one. From this number we selected the following executives: President, Bill Joseph, Vice President, Ted Martin, Secretary-treasurer, Grace Newell, Reporter, Joyce Dishong, and His- torian, Herbert McMaster. Mr. Torge was our advisor. Our class rings arrived the first week of school. On April 21 we presented the comedy, Who's Batty Now , under the direction of Mr. Pees. We were honored hosts to the Seniors at the annual Junior and Senior Banquet, centered around a Mexican Fiesta theme, with Mr. Savage from Van Buren presenting accordian music, dressed as a caballero. One class party was held on October 16. We were also proud to be well represented in athletics. Our chapter of history was now near an end. However, we looked forward to our Senior year with much anticipation for it held in store for us many activities. We began our final year at McComb with an enrollment of 29. During the summer, Ed Perkins, Charles Norway, and Bonnie Strouse left us. This year we elected Lynn Farthing as our class President. Other officers included: Marilyn Ewing, Vice President, Grace Newell, Secretary-Treasurer, Bill Joseph, Reporter, and Peggy Hanes as Historian. Mr. Clapper was our advisor and home room teacher. On December 6, we presented our laugh-provoking play There Go The Grooms , under the direction of Mr. Clapper. Other highlights of the Senior Year were a banquet given for us by the Junior Class on May 19, which was centered around a Southern theme. We finished our school years with baccalaureate lpn May 20 and commencement on May 21. lf. We are proud to say that from our class have dome outstanding athletes, students holding scholastic honors, and students who rated high in many other respects. Now it is time to once again close the volume on class histories for another year and McComb High School. We'have thus ended our high school career to go out into a new environment to put into practice the knowledge we have stored within us, remembering the guide that helped us through high school, uNow or Neverf,
