V' HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF '49 In September of 1947 a group of noisy, robust children cluttered the halls of the New Market School---that's us--- the Seniors of 1949. p Since 1937 we have been an active hilarious group who have caused our teachers many headaches. Members of our first grade were as follows: Walter Thompson, Leroy Largent, Ruth Webb, Jane Steele, Eddie Harrison, Dewey Servies, Margaret Booher, Patty Smith, Johnny Sanders, Robert Cash, Richard Kelly, Paul David Clahan, Rex Ross, Jeanne Mullen and Carroll Terry. A Aside from learning some of the fundamentals from our teacher, Miss I-limes, our first year was uneventful, as far as we can remember. During our second grade of school, a carnival was presented, our class gave a Southern Plantation scene. A contest was held that year between Jeanne Mullen and Ruth Webb. Remember girls? The boys doll! When we entered the third grade we found that we had many new members in our class due to the closure of the Parkersburg School. We were pleased to enter into the fourth grade because now we had recess with the older children of the grade school. While we were in the fifth grade on one of our class members fell head- over-heels in love. We won't mention any names but his initials are C.A.R.R.O.L.L. T.E.R.R.Y. The sixth grade was a very exciting year. The girls proved that the boys are not the only ones who have athletic ability. The girls defeated the boys in two basketball games, in fact the boys were skunked in one of those games. Upon reaching the seventh grade, we were very proud to be upstairs among the High School students. In both the seventh and eighth 'grades two of our class- mates, Jeanne Mullen and George Obenchain were Yell Leaders. After a hard grind of eight years, we reached our goal--- entering High School. As was the custom, we like all other Freshman were initiated. However, instead of hauling the boys into the country the girls were the victims. Our Junior year we were very busy preparing for the Junior-Senior Reception as this was our responsibility. This included selling ice cream, as well as cokes, candy, T. Shirts, scarves and giving a box supper and presenting a play. At the box-supper, square dancing was enjoyed by everyone. ll

The 1948 Junior-Senior Reception was given at the Masonic Temple in Crawfordsville. The Temple was decorated with the theme Moonlight and Roses. The music was furnished by the Wabash Collegians and dancing was enjoyed by everyone . Now we are Seniors and on our last stretch of road to High School Graduation. Some feel, sad, some gay, and some just hope they make it, but we imagine some of the teachers will shake their heads and say Thank goodness, that is over! The Seniors who are anticipating graduation are: Bob Cash Jean Mullen George Obenchain Mary Frances Stewart Carroll Terry Bonnie Ross John Charles Olson Ruth Webb Dewey Servies Beverly Stockdale John Sanders Dorothy Fagan Patricia Dove Laura Burnside CLOSING EVENTS April Z3 Junior-Senior Reception May 1 Baccalaureate May 6 Commencement May 7 Closing of School JUNIOR-SENIOR RECEPTION The annual Junior and Senior reception of New Market High School was held April 23, 1949, at the High School Gymnasium.
