The Class of 49 entered Mishawaka High School in the fall after V-J Day with high hopes for a bright new future. The freshmen girls swung along in short pleated skirts and long “Sloppy Joe” sweat- ers in an effort to look like everyone else; the boys wore their shirt tails out. Afraid of being conspic- uous, they begged their mothers not to make them wear their rubbers when the weather forecast was “cloudy with showers.” In the fall of ’46 these sophomore know-it-alls eagerly directed the freshmen to their sponsor rooms on the third floor. With a year to explore the building from the greenhouse to the machine shop the class of 49 knew all the angles. The junior class organized in September, 1947, to elect Dick Miller, president; Chuck Barnard, vice president; Stanley Ross, treasurer; and Rita Snyder, secretary. Miss Ruby Perkins was their class sponsor. In their junior year they presented “Our Hearts Were Young and Gay,” their first class play, and held a magazine drive to finance the prom and to furnish the conference room as their class gift. In the fall sophisticated seniors from sponsor rooms 103 and 138 crammed into the busy days dates, football games, and studies—catching a wink of sleep now and then. First they elected their class officers who were football co-captain Tom Roggeman, president; Thespian Chuck Golba, vice president; football quarterback Mike Michele, treasurer; and Alltold news editor Loretta Triest, secretary. The first recognition of their “seniority” came with the arrival of the long awaited class jewelry in September. At last they had tangible proof that Senior Finat Exams in Spanish class perplex Sue Fuson, Don Petersen, Chuck Barnard, and Joan Callahan.
