President-David Eller, Secretary-Pat Valler, Vice- Prosident-Gene Heckathorn, Treasurer-Bob Long. 6 aw ,!4145f0r7 ln the fall of the year 1950, we stumbled over the threshold of Mercer High School, eighty- nine bewildered Freshmen. We immediately picked ourselves up in the hall for rather the teachers didb, but happily to say, in the ensuing stampede no one was hurt. We soon got down to business, determined to live up to the expectations of fond parents. The teachers came to play an important part in our daily life. One began to teach us the A. B. C.'s, putting them into silly equations and calling this Algebra. We laid the foundations of our present intellectual mien on the corner- stones of Latin coniugations and declensions. But nevertheless, we enioyed our class party, The Maple Sugar Hop. Soon, we grew better acquainted with each other, more willing to overlook faults and recognize true work. The class chose the yellow rose as their class flower, their colors as maroon and gray and their motto, Enter to learn, go forth to serve became their goal. We reorganized as proud Sophomores in 1951 and amid Biology tests and Geometry theorems, we presented our annual class party, Dance Me Loose. This year members of the class became a part of the many activities with- in the school. Our Sophomore days were soon ended and we were then happy Juniors. During our Junior year several big history- making events occurred. Just before Thanks- giving, our long-awaited class rings arrived. Then soon, work began on our Junior Class Play, Two Blind Mice, which was dumed a success. The highlight of our Junior year came on May 'lst with May Fantasy, our Junior-Senior Prom. Then the big year came. We were Seniors!! We received cur graduating pictures and our name cards. Curious Savage , our class play, and the Homecoming Game and Dance will always be remembered, as important events during our Senior year. Striving to obtain enough money to make the trip to Washington, D. C. by selling popcorn, refreshments at the football games, and Christmas candy was a heavy load on us. But nevertheless we enioyed it, and our trip to Washington, followed by the prom, A Night To Remember on April 30 were the highlights of our high school days. We have been very proud of our athletic teams our last two years. We believe that we are well prepared to face future obstacles and hope that we will always remember what Mercer High and its in- finitely pleasant and profitable associations have done for us. en wr add ' C7 11 1-.1
