Mercer High School - Hi Times Yearbook (Mercer, PA)

Page 20 text:

As timid seventh graders, we began our six years at Mercer High—finally becoming brave seniors. The period of time between this transition has been filled with many unforgettable experiences. In seventh grade we envied the upperclassmen, admired the seniors, and were completely lost in high school life, though we did manage to have the greatest social event of that year, namely our Class Party. As sophisticated eighth graders, we were more accustomed to the everyday catastrophies of school . . . Although our Class Party turned into an April Flop”, we did manage to fill several buses and invade Conneaut Lake Park for our class trip. Our freshmen year brought us in closer contact with the upperclassmen, since we were no longer isolated in the junior high wing. As sophomores we were the Upperclassmen”. There was never a disappointing moment through the entire year. These days contained many events including. ordering class rings, dissecting those lovely frogs, joining every club imaginable, and generally creating chaos whenever possible. The long-awaited junior year was filled with hard work and changes, yet it was an extremely rewarding year. As juniors we spread our fame as dramatists in the play, Stage Door. May was bustling with our greatest project. In spite of organizational problems and some disasters in artistic creations Around the World in 80 Days was the most exceptional prom ever. Senioritis began the first day as we became superior SENIORS. Now confident and experienced, we worked toward a common goal—GRADUATION! As a class we will long be remembered for our senior grub days, lunch escapades, and our ability to make teachers forget their lesson plans. As seniors we will remember the powder puff football game (injuries and all), the junior high bookroom where many happy hours were spent, the senior stop-off—N.H.S. bookstore. G.G.A., the fun we had working on our second dramatic effort Strange Hoarders, and the breeding of the fruit flies. As we end our years at M.H.S. we take this opportunity to thank the school for what is has done for us and wish GOOD LUCK to those who will follow us.
