The History Of The Class Qi '48 In the fall of 1944 eighty-six perplexed Freshmen entered the doors ol' Middle Township High School. That year we were divided into three home rooms. Making new friends and becoming familiar with classes took up much of our time but one thing that especially stands out in our memory is our Freshmen party, held on May 4, 1945. Miss Mackay, Miss Wilbur, and Miss Black were our class advisors and the class otiicers were: President ............ Drayton Hamm f Vice President . . . Frank Jacques Secretary . . . . Dolly Wolod Treasurer . . . Alvin Garrison There were eighty-three who returned to begin our Sophomore year. The first dance our class gave was a St. Pattyas Dance. However, to us the most important thing was the ordering of our class rings. Our advisors were Miss Wilbur, Miss Harris and Miss Melvin. The following officers were chosen: President . . . . . Bill Wolod Vice President . . . Drayton Hamm Secretary . . . Dolly Wolod Treasurer . . . Alfred Schissler Our Junior year brought seventy students back to join us. In October we gave a Halloween Dance which was very successful but the most outstanding event was our play, Come Over to Our House. How thrilled we were when our class rings arrived just before our Xmas vacation. Our advisors for this year were Miss Conroy and Miss Melvin. Our leaders were: President ............. Anne Menzel Vice President . . . Dorothy Near Secretary . . . . Barbara Garrison Treasurer . . . Drayton Hamm Then September 1947! Seniors at last sixty-six of us. We had now become fully acquainted with the school and had tried to the best of our ability to make the school we loved, well known. The Senior play, A Quiet Summer, turned out to be a successful Comedy. The year was filled by many activities, selling candy, writing paper, and Xmas Cards to prepare for our forth-coming trip to Washington. This year we were under the guidance of Mrs. Ludlam, with Mrs. Doughty lending a helping hand. Our officers were: President . . . . . Anne Menzel Vice President . . Tony Chapparone Secretary . . . Irma Charlesworth Treasurer . . . . . . Elinor Baker 27
