CLASS 1950 TELECAST Just a few weeks more, and our dear high school days will be beyond recall; we shall be left with memories only of our three years cruise in Monaca High. The log of our sophomore year which be- gan September 2, 1947, reminds us of the selection of our class rings, the enjoyable Turkey Trot” dance, the sale of Valentine candy, and our daring sophomore assembly. This year’s cruise was under the guidance of Miss Milliron, our class sponsor, and the lead- ership of the class president, Bill Alexander. It came to an end with the Freshman-Sopho- more From held in our beautifully decorated gymnasium. After basking in the still w'aters of Sum- mer Vacation,” we returned to active duty in the fall as the log of our junior year states. Our junior class sponsor, Miss O'Keefe, and class president, Craig White, placed empha- sis on the great need of increasing our class funds. Through the promotion of Hallowe’en candy sales, a profitable magazine subscrip- tion campaign, and other sales ventures, we added considerably to the financial status of the class. We became adventuresome in dra- matics, and on April 8, 1949, we successfully presented Just Ducky”, our junior class play. Later in April, we honored the seniors at the Junior-Senior Prom, which had as its at- tractive setting, an improvised old-fashioned flower garden with the traditional fountain. After another peaceful cruise in the quiet waters of Summer Rest, we, the seniors of 1950, entered upon our last cruise, according to the senior year log, w ith dynamic interest in everything scholastic and with true school spirit. We well assumed the role of upper- classmen. On this our last cruise w'e recall scores of incidents, interesting only to the members of our class. With Craig White as our leader again, we sailed into our many class duties and activities. We began our so- cial events of the year wdth our Glad to Know' You dance given for all the student body. We planned the pep meeting assem- blies and supported our teams with the great- est of loyalty. At the close of the football season, we held the annual Football Queen dance, at which Bettijane Tepsic was crown- ed Football Queen by David Nichol who was assisted by Angelo Scassa and Robert Elmer. On December 2, the curtains were drawn and the great applause faded away. The cast of Captain Applejack”, and the producer-direc- tor, Mrs. Lenora Thomas, congratulated them- selves on the fact that the class of 1950 had presented a play that w'ould live long in the minds of those who had witnessed it and of those who had produced it. The outstanding memories of this cruise are the Junior-Senior From with its most in- triguing tropical setting, where the seniors were the guests of the juniors, and, too, the Senior Aurevoir banquet held at Sheffield Towers. The interesting, enjoyable visits to Geneva College on Valley Day, the trips to local industries and firms, and the good as- semblies of guest artists w'ere other features of our senior cruise. As we reached our final activities in Mon- aca High School, we remembered our mo- ments of joy and sadness, success and failure, and above all, our newly acquired obligation to society—making this world a better place in which to live. Before going ashore from our last cruise on Commencement Day, May 26, we expressed our deep appreciation and gratitude to our sponsor, Mrs. Locke, for her untiring efforts and interest to make our last year, one ever to lx- remembered. — 14 —
