CLASS HISTORY Four years of high school have come and gone, but four years we won't forget, for they have left their mark on us. In 1941 we were fifty green freshmen. Mr. Cheney was our class advisor. The officers we chose were Imogene Booth, presidentg Jack Pense, vice president, Leora Schmucker, secretary, and Elmer Girome, treasurer. Our chapel representative was Beverly Graber and the student council members were Ruth Ladley and Frank Cirone. O.n Nov. 28 the sopho- mores initiated us, and we all looked like fugitives from the side show--the girls with their upswept hairdos, long dresses, knee socks, and gym shoes, the boys with fingernail polish, makeup, hair bows, and patches, and everyone carrying his books in a kettle. A very suc- cessful roller skating party was held on March 19. Two freshmen participated in the high school play. Five of us earned scholarship medals. On June 2 we had our annual picnic at Lake O' Springs. Forty-six of us returned from vacation. Our class advisors were Miss Ream and Miss La Borde. The sophomore class officers were Joe Angione, president, Charles Rickert, vice presidentg Imogene Booth, secretaryg and Mary Ellen Parks, treasurer. Our chapel repre- sentative was Edward Shorb and the council members were Ruth Ladley and Frank Cirone. We initiated the freshmen in November. Leora Schmucker was chosen chairman of the initiation committee. Due to the war our activities were considerably limited. There were five medal students. In 1943 there were thirty-seven juniors. Mr. Boyle and Miss McMillan advised us. Our class officers were Frank Cirone, president, Elmer Girome, vice president, Charles Rickert, secretary, and Maxine Zerbe, treasurer. Joe Angione was appointed candy chair- man. john Miller was our chapel representative and Ruth Ladley and Joyce Feller were the student council members. Our main source of money came from selling candy, potato chips, and hot dogs at noon and at the games. A class party was held Feb. 12. On May 20, the Junior-Senior Prom was given by the juniors. The theme was Dutch and the music was provided by Maxine Burfield and her orchestra. Wayne Strouble went to Ohio Boy's State. Three juniors had parts in the high school play. Three of us earned scholarship medals. The annual picnic was held at school. Thirty-seven seniors returned from the summer vacation. Miss Hawes was our class advisor. Our class officers were Vivian Bair, president, Charles Rickert, vice president, Mary Ellen Parks, secretary, and Elmer Girome, treasurer. The chapel representative was Marveine Royer and' the student council members were Ruth Ladley and Joyce Feller. Dorothy Ruch was chosen the judge of student court. Joyce F eller was chosen the editor of the year book. Our class sold stationery, license plates, pennants, M. H. S. caps and Christmas cards. Nelson Havis returned to the Navy, and a farewell party was given for him on Dec. 6. The seniors had concessions at the Stark County Class B Basketball Tournament at Massillon and made a considerable profit. We put on a class play, That Crazy Smith Family on April 7. The juniors gave us a nice prom in May. The last month flew by, followed by Baccalaureate and Commenceme.nt. Some of us felt happy about it, while others were very sorry that their school years had come to an end. We seniors took a last look at Middlcbranch High School. THE CLASS OF 45
