CLASS Hl 'I'0RY In the autumn of 1941 thirty-four boys and girls kissed their mothers good-bye and marched proudly off to school. Some were instructed by Miers Byler in the little red school house in Allens- ville and others by Miss Hartzler in Belleville. During the next seven years we received knowledge from the best: Miss Hooley, Mrs. Cunningham, Mrs. Patton, Mrs. Baker, Miss Bennett, Mrs. Warner, Miss McNabb, Mr. Treaster, Mr. Bassler, and Mrs. Huey. While in eighth grade we sold magazines to finance the annual trip to Hershey. Then a big moment arrived. We took our en- trance examination and prepared ourselves for high school. In the spring of 1950, forty-five proud freshmen from Menno and Union Townships became fully pledged members of the newly formed Menno-Union High School Jointure when the seniors gave us a never forgotten initiation at Halloween. We started that year to earn money by selling candy at the basketball games. During our sophomore year we continued planning for our Washington trip by selling Christmas cards. We proudly wore our bright scarlet and gray class hats which we purchased that year. In the course of our junior year we sold jello and Easter candy. We also sponsored the Stoney Cooper show which aided us in giving a well remembered Junior-Senior Prom. We also received our highly prized pennants, emblems, and class rings. ln the autumn of 1953 six of the original thirty-four pupils, strengthened by twelve from outlying schools entered M. U. for the last time. We sold Christmas candy and staged a play, Gran- dad Steps Out. On April 30 we had a delightful Prom at Birch Hill which was given by the Juniors. On May 10, 11, and 12, we enjoyed ourselves when we made our trip to Washington. Soon our last three school events arrived: Baccalaureate, Class Night, and Commencement. We realize now that the twelve years in school will be the best years of our life. WMM
