fluMOl Cl ass Histolij FRESHMAN Wc had often heard about high school but we didn’t really think much about it until we tried buffing the barriers it presented. All but a few of us got over the first great barrier—our first report card in high school. Our hardest task was choosing officers that were capable of carrying out the job but we did it. We elected: Dome Davis .....................................President Paul Zahniser..............................Vice President Jean King ......................................Secretary Julia O’Mahoney ................................Treasurer This year Thanksgiving was moved up a week which made it seem rather early. But we came back with renewed energy to carry us along until Christmas. When our Christmas vacation was barely over the Seniors had a “Leap Dance.” We were all excited over giving our first class party. It was a “Freshman Swing Session” and it had every one bowled over. Our last day was spent at Conncaut Lake with our first year of high school behind us. . SOPHOMORE With more confidence than last year we resumed the eternal grind of high school. Now that we know better the people in our class it isn't so hard to choose our officers. We elected Dorrie Davis ....................................President Mary Strosser...............................Vice President Wayne Miller ....................................Secretary Jim Mongicllo ...................................Treasurer On November eighth, breaking the monotony, every girl caught a man for the Sadie Hawkins Dance. Christmas vacation came and went much faster this year than it did last year. In April we had a musical class party “Sophomore Hop which didn’t bring much money but it did bring fun to all. We spent the last day at Conncaut Lake. Some fun! JUNIORS We started back to school looking forward to our Junior year with great hope ambition. The officers this year have an exceedingly hard job to do if it is done well, elected Rip Redic............................................President Paul Zahniser...................................Vice President Anna Crill ..........................................Secretary Jack Wilson .........................................Treasurer and We Everyone worked hard to get ready for Christmas and our “St. Nick’s Jam Session” so for further details look up the Party Section. Thrill of thrills! Our rings came and arc they super-super-duper! Now wc are looking forward to our play and prom. (Most of us have had dates for this great event since last month). M '.RY C.

£opL otnoie ttistol V We were so frightened as we entered the front doors of the school last year. The teachers and upperclassmen looked like human monstrosities for the first few months. But by the time for Christmas vacation they had settled down to normal size. We elected officers for the coming year about the time when things were halfway settled. We elected Cecilia Viazanko ......................................President Jim Hamilton .....................................Vice President Helen Kelso ...........................................Secretary Robert Ringer ........................................ Treasurer LcRoy Knapp.......................................Representative Bv February we were all excited for we were planning our first party. We spent all day fixing our decorations of red and white streamers in the ceiling. They certainly were tricky. We brought our skis and ice skates to help decorate the fireplaces on either side of the loom. Two cotton snowmen survived the heat of the excitement very well. The orchestra was called 1 lie Four Aces.'' Those red and white dolls pinned on conspicuous places were the souvenirs. We had a lot of hard work before the last of school came and then we packed our picnic baskets ami were off to Conneaut Lake. Most of 11s hail never been there before and were filled with new delights. As we entered the front doors this year we looked scornfully down at the Freshmen having the same experiences that we had last year. We were far more settled this year when we elected Duke Hinds ...............................................President Helen Kelso.........................................Vice President Jim Hamilton .............................................Secretary Ray Moon..................................................Treasurer Being much braver we entered into many more activities such as Varsity Basketball, and Mixed Chorus. We also had an excellent party. This was called the “Victory Dance” hut for more definite information turn to the Party Section. Easter has come and gone and now we arc settling down for a hard grind before the final wind-up 111 June. Cecelia Viazanko Duke Hinds -fKL
