Junior Class History When the morning of September fourth, nineteen hundred and forty-five rolled around, the Community High School of New Athens, 111. opened its doors for a new school year. In addition to the experienced scholars, there were thirty-eight Freshmen—fresh from grade school. After a day of torture known as initiation, the Freshies were now officially members of NACHS. Dale Schneider was elected president of our class and Miss Jane Hansleben was chosen as our sponsor. Being Freshmen, there was little business. The year ended with an outing at Sparla. In ’46, the gallant Freshmen returned for their second year of education. Under the guidance of Ardell Schoepp as president and Mr. Charles Wright as sponsor, the ’49ers started to earn money for their prom. As a project, ice cream was sold by the energetic Sophomores. The Sophomores were quite proud of their “Blitz Kids” who brought glory to NACIIS by winning first place in the “B” bracket of the Sparta Freshman-Sophomore Invitational Tournament. Opening their Junior year, Jim Schmulback was elected president; secretary; and Irene Pfeiffer, reporter. Mr. Dale Walker, as sponsor, eagerly started the Juniors off on their sale of candy and soda. As the weeks passed on, preparations were made for the Junior Play. November 4th, was the eventful night and everyone in the vicinity came to see “Brides to Burn”, a flawless production. The receipts from the play certainly boosted the cause. May 8th was the climax of an eventful Junior year. A prom, given in the high school auditorium, was enjoyed by all. Music was furnished by Marvin Wittlich’s Orchestra. On May 31st, the 49ers looked forward to their fourth, final and fruitful Senior year.
