'T l959 CLASS HISTORY We sold magazines early in the fall in order to earn money for our share of the Junior-Senior Prom. Ronald Wahl proved his ability as a super-salesman by selling over S100 worth of magazine subscriptions. Roger Dirienzo was namedahalf-back on the alternate All-County football team. He was the only junior to receive such an honor. Two of our classmates,Jerry Lichty and Ken Korns, kept up their studies at home due to illness. The dream of.a new junior-senior high school became a reality when Dr. Grant Atwell, president of the school board, broke ground for the new school on September 15, 1957. We were not to be students there but were destined to have our graduation ceremonies in the new auditorium. Just before Christmas our class rings arrived We were thrilled beyond words even though our pockets were empty Eleven of us were elected by the faculty as members of the National Honor Society The 1n1t1at1on was held at an assembly and two guests former NHS members presented the program Peter Cover won a first award 1n the Pennsylvania School Press contest for an editorial which he wrote As the time approached for the Junior Senior Prom the girls became starry eyed Just dreaming about their dates and filmy formals It was almost unbelievable to us that we were returning to schoolas mighty semors Our number had now dwindled to Just 86 Some of us faced the new school term w1th EDthUS1aSm and some of us faced it with regret Our home rooms were 6 and '4 Mrs Mary Bruno and Robert Brougher were our advisers They guided us lil the decisions seniors must make At our first class meeting John A Dom was elected class prexy Jerry Lichty vice president Alzine Brown secretary and John N Cover treasurer Helen Hershberger was Miss Varsity and Anna Dom was our Fall Festival representative Our Senior Class play Fog Island, was directed by Mrs Mary Ann Jones and Mrs Margaret Lehman Everyone who wished to do so had a part in some phase of its production Geraldine Witt was chosen from a group of six girls as our Maple Princess of 1959 Robert Schrock received the Keystone Farmers Award while Anna Dom Helen Hershberger Laura Anne Reich and Mary Elizabeth Konhaus received State Homemakers degrees at the State Farm Show Terry Lichty attended District Band He also qualified for State Band There was great excitement when members of the Senior High School journeyed to Pittsburgh to appear on Jay Michael s Bandstand As the year IS drawing to a close we are making preparations for the Junior Senior Prom on May 8 The climax of our high school years will be reached at Commence ment Exercises on May 25 We will then become alumni of Meyersdale Joint High School -433' Prtszdtnt John A Dom lice Pxcsidnnt Jerry Lichtx Set rctarx Alzinc Brovsn Treasuxcx John N Coxcr 1 A 'M P!
