CLASS HISTORY We, the Class of 1950, are proud to state that this is the first class to have completed twelve years of education in the building from which we are graduating. Excellent facilities have been provided by this community to give us a varied and complete education. We entered this school in the fall of 1938 as first graders and gradually wogbgd our way into high school. Our class consisted of twenty shy freshmen wherfwe began our high school education in September, 1946. During the year Betty Elshoff moved to St. Marys and attended school at Memorial High School. Raymond Sholler joined our class but found an interest elsewhere and left before the year was finished. We took an active part in the school activities. Eight members of our class belonged to the band. Three of our boys came out for basketball. The next fall, 1947, we began school with a total of twenty members. Carol Kuck moved in from Anna, where she had attended as a freshman. Our band membership dropped to seven that year but we had eleven members in the chorus. Two additional members of our class came out for basketball and the original four were still playing baseball. Two of our girls were elected cheerleaders. The same twenty members spent their junior year together. Our class rings, of which we are very proud, were purchased during the junior year. We presented our junior class play, Father Didn't Bother to a large and appreciative audience. The junior-Senior reception in honor of the seniors was successfully given by our class on May 6, 1949. Our two cheerleaders were reelected for another year and our boys were again active in the field of sports. The band and chorus were also well represented by members of our class. In September of 1949, the one time shy freshmen were elevated to the rank of dignified seniors. Gladys Rostorfer joined her family in Wapakoneta decreasing our membership to nineteen. On March 24, 1950 we presented our senior play. The junior-Senior reception was given in our honor on May 12th by the Class of 1951. The week of May14, 1950, will long be cherished in our memory as the beginning and end of our many graduation activities. Page Sixteen
