(yeniol Class ”l{2” Wc started our busy Senior Year under the guidance of Miss Munnell anti Miss Stranahan. This year we had much to do so we organized at our first class meeting by electing the following officers: President ......................................James MeWhirter Vice President.............................................Harriet Sarver • Secretary .......................................Frances Chapman Treasurer ...................................................Doris Noble Our Yearbook Staff was selected and they began their work with many bright ideas anti with much enthusiasm. As you know, any Senior class must have a lot of money so wc startctl campaigning. Our party, the “Senior Lodge Party, was the first one of the year and, of course, it was a huge success. During the course of the year we had several bake sales anti we soltl candy at the basketball games. Every member in our class cooperated and thanks to them our funds were greatly increased. After flashing madly around in preparation for our Senior play, “Sunup,” we finally producetl it gloriously. About this time we were going around, not the usual carefree girls and boys, but with a rather worried expression on our faces anti an armful of books. For, you see, it was nnd-term test time and wc all wanted to graduate with honors. Since our class was a very active one we had to have something to use our energy upon, so we served a spaghetti supper. The supper was worth all the effort that we put into it and it was very successful. We now look forward to being royally entertained by the Junior Class when they give the Junior-Senior Prom. We, also, have the Senior Day, Baccalaureate, Commencement, anti the Alumni banquet all waiting for us. I know 1 shall have a wonderful time at all of these. Thus ends the history of the Senior Class.

 enioi Olass 1-2-3 The biggest class to enter Mercer High School arrived here in September, 1 938. I do believe I was most frightened and the greenest one of all. But after meeting everyone and making friends, we had our first class meeting under the direction of Miss Munnell, Mr. Ringer, and Mr. Crowell, our supervisors. We elected our officers which were: President....... Vice President Secretary ...... Treasurer .... . . Sara Pollard Robert Hinds Harriet Sarver .Beth Wilson Along toward the end of the year we had progressed as far as having a party anti boy, what a party! It was named the “Frosh Fiesta and I am very proud of the fact that ours was the first class to name its party. The party was a big success, all “springy and nice. The class went on a picnic to Stoughton's Beach and so ended our first year. Our Sophomore year opened with a bang for we were very confident. This year Miss Rocks and Mr. Patterson were our guardians. We swung right into things and elected officers without hesitation this year. Here are our choices: President..........................................Dale Johnston Vice President.....................................Ralph Rhoads Secretary .........................................Robert Hinds Treasurer .........................................James Crilley Since our class contains geniuses (brag, brag) when it comes to parties we put on the best party of the year. It was the “Diamond Horseshoe Party.” In this we produced a floor show which practically “set the world on fire”—anyways, Mercer High School. This year we all went picnicking at Conneaut Lake. Everyone had a perfectly wonderful time—at least I did. The Junior year rolled around and a much smaller group embarked upon it. Miss Miller and Miss Mumaw were our advisors this year. Our officers were: President ................................................John Lukacs Vice President..........................................Robert Hinds Secretary........................................Doris Noble Treasurcr .......................................Beth Wllson The first business of the year was that of class rings. We finally decided on them after much indecision and discussion. The Juniors were all “on pins” until they arrived. The next events were the Junior Play, “Yes and No and. the Junior-Senior Prom. I have told you all about these back in the Society and Drama section so forgive me for touching on them. Again we went to Conneaut Lake for the last day. Here I tried to recapture all the good times I had there the year before. Confidentially, I succeeded.
