HISTORY OF SENIOR CLASS Labor Day had come and gone in 1950. That meant that vaca- tion had ended and so the following morning saw 125 exuberant Freshmen miake their way to Mt. Healthy High School to begin four of the most important years of their lives. They had attended ele- mentary schools in Springdale, Monfort Heights, New Burlington, Finneytown, and Mt. Healthy. During the first year they survived the tortures of initiation, exams, and just plain getting acquainted. Toward the end of the year they began to feel like members of one class. The next September when they came back as Sophomo res, they were ready to participate in various school activities. Some of the boys found positions on teams, while the girls made names for themselves in organizations such as G. A A. and Y-Teens. As Junior s they were a class with a purpose - -they had a prom to give. They used every means possible to raise funds for this big event. They achieved their goal, A BLOSSOM TIME PROM, on May Z6, 1953. Meantime they had earned a few more credits toward graduation and had made preparations for their Senior year by choosing class rings. In September of 1953 about 90 of the original 125 members of the class returned for their Senior year. Many class mennbers filled positions of responsibility about the school. In due time they chose their graduation announcements and cards and were measured for caps and gowns in preparation for that time when they would receive their diplomas. Following tradition, a group of Seniors made the annual excur- sion to the nation ' s capital. They also presented Our Miss Brooks as their class play. After Baccalaureate Service and Commencement Exercises they joined the ranks of alumni of Mt. Healthy High School. 14
