CLASS HISTURY In September, 1948, nineteen bold freshmen entered the Freshman Class in New Knoxville High School. Our class opened the year with nine girls and ten boys. High school life seemed rather complex but we quickly adjusted ourselves as we took part in the many school activities. There were many musicians among our group. Nine members of our class joined the chorus and eight played in- struments in the band. Our class was also sports minded, being active in both baseball and basketball. Dorothy and Lois Sholler moved to Ywapakoneta during the year, reducing our class membership to seventeen. We began our sophomore year with fourteen members, losing Carl McCune, Valgene Phillips, and Virginia Rostorfer during the summer. The class roll had additional changes during the 1949-1950 school year. Don Prueter dropped out of school and Dorothy Keiber moved here from Dayton and became a member of our class. Our class again played an important part in the extracurricular activi- ties of our school. One of our girls, Marilyn Henkener, became a cheerleader. We entered the junior year with a total of fourteen members. We presented the Junior Class play, Clementine , which was a great success. ln january we received our class rings, of which we are very proud. We also had the honor of presenting the junior-Senior Reception for the Class of 1951. Our class membership was again fourteen when we came back in the fall of 1951 as dignified seniors. Dorothy Keiber moved to St. Marys during the sum- mer. but Elaine Kuck moved to New Knoxville from XVisconsin and we were very happy to have her graduate with us. Our musicians made up an important part of the band and chorus. Four of our boys played on the baseball team, and three were on the varsity basketball team, all received letter sweaters. Marilyn completed her third year as a cheerleader. The Senior Class play, Spring Fever , was a great success. We will long remember and cherish the week of May 11, 1952 as the beginning and end of our graduation exercises. 20
