CLASS HISTORY On September 3, 1948, we entered our first year of high school with 31 members commonly known to the upperclassmen as green Freshmen. After a few days of hard struggling and deciding on the courses we would follow throughout our high school, we held our first class meeting, in which we elected the following officers: President, Mabel Finley: Vice President, Everett Lattap Secretary Treasurer, Imogene Newcomer, Reporter, Marlene Mill- er, and Historian, Agnes Zeigler. Also we decided upon our class colors of Scarlet and Gray: our class flower, 'White Rose, and our flvlotto Today Decides Tomorrow. As our advisor we chose Mr. McVey. We held two very successful class parties during the year. Also we welcomed Maxine Watson from Mt. Blanchard to our class increasing our number to 32. On September 16, 1949, we entered our Sophomore year, feeling more a part of high school. We elected the following officers: President, Raymond George: Vice President, Marlene Millerp Secretary, Imogene Newcomer. Mr. McVey was chosen as our class advisor. Our number increased to 35 when we welcomed Bernita Bunnell who transferred to our class from 'Mt. Blanchard, Carolyn Cas- tello from Akron, and later Marilyn Stauffer from Arizona. We had a bake sale and two class parties during the year. Vacation passed again and September, 1950, found us as luniors, with our flashy class rings awaiting us. Looking over the class we found two classmates missing, Marilyn Stauffer, who moved to Lima, and Gene Wedge, who moved to Arcardia. To make up for our loss, we welcomed Dixie Beam from Centerburg and Bud Gary from Rawson. We chose as our class officers: President, Richard Snavely: Vice President, Everett Lattay Sec- retary Treasurer, Marlene Miller, Reporter, Mabel Findley, and Historian, Imogene Newcomer. As our advisor we chose Miss Painter. The main highlights of the year started with our class play One Too Many which proved to be a great success. ln February we held a very enjoyable class party along with a bake sale and a doughnut sale. In winding up the out-standing activities of our lunior year, we banqueted the Sen- iors using a Southern Theme. During the year we were sorry to lose Donald Thomas, Shirley Altman, David Driesbach and Lois Payne. ln September of 1951, with a class of 29 members, we began the last lap of our four-year career, with Mr, Clapper as our advisor. We regret to have lost Mary Lou Pingle during the year. We also want to welcome Carol Chapman from North Baltimore. We organized with 'Marlene Miller as President: Raymond George, Vice President, Mabel Finley, Secretary, Carolyn Ewing, Reporter, and Bernita Bunnell, Historian. We chose as our Senior Play a comedy, Don't Take My Penny which we presented on No- vember 9, and proved to be a great success. One of the Bright spots of our Senior year was a banquet given in our honor by the Iuniors on May 24. We brought our high school career to a close with Baccalaureate on May 25 and Commence- ment on May 26. We are proud to say that we have had very outstanding athletic as well as scholastic work.
