History The class sponsored two dances this year, the Sadie Hawkins Day Dance in November and the St. Patrick's Day Dance in March. At this dance they awarded an RCA table model radio as a special attraction. This year two members of the class, Helen Booth and Beulah Wolgemuth, were initiated into the National Honor Society. Anna Espenshade won the Dr. A. F. Snyder Memorial Prize in American History at the Class Day Exercises. As its first dramatic production the class presented June Mad, a comedy in three acts, with a cast of 13. Then the juniors entertained the seniors at a semi- formal prom. Betty Gutshall and Dorothy Sheetz represented them at the Val- entine Dance and Dorothy Sheetz and Lowell Sumpman attended the May Queen. SENIOR Finally the year that some had looked forward to, and others had dreaded, had come. In the class election Norman Linton was chosen president, Richard Sheetz, vice presidentg Anna Espenshade, secretaryg and Beulah Wolgemuth, treasurer. This year the class had its unforgettable stand at the Community Exhibit and sold food at basketball games. The seniors also had a food sale and held a Bunny Hop. Th d. h. . .H .. ,, ey isplayed t eir dramatic abilities in Midnight, a mystery-comedy with a cast of 13, as their second production. Three more students, Anna Espen- shade, Everett Metzler and john Ressler, were initiated into the National Honor Society. Injanuary the future graduates were measured for their caps and gowns. This activity brought to them the realization that then it was a matter of only a few months. All that remained was the Washington trip, the Junior-Senior Prom, Class Day, Baccalaureate and Graduation Day. These and many others are the memories the Class of 1948 will recall in years to come. Their four years in high school were filled with happiness, joys and, of course, a few disappointmentsg but they will cherish them all alike as they remember them through the years.
