mmtes 1950 Sally Hueston and Owen Peagler When school opened on September 7. 194b, ninety-seven sets of teeth chattered in the anticipation of their first day of high school. There were enough of us who knew our way around so that we could help those who had come in from the outside .towns. Though we were slow in electing our officers, who were Bill Jones, president; George Lee, veep; Sally Hueston, secretary; and Bill Cuddy, treasurer, with Miss Matriciano as adviser; we were not slow in getting acquainted, thanks to Jive Junction, a club exclusively for Freshmen. Many of us will not forget the nights spent in dancing and playing games together. We no sooner got under way with the school year, it seemed, when Miss Northrop got us going on the social. This was held in the spring and our theme was a carnival. Everyone in the class worked for hours on it and it proved to be a great success. Around the floor were different booths. One was a dart-throwing booth, another a bean-bag booth, and still another one had wooden cats to be knocked down by tennis balls. Occasionally during the evening a bell could be heard and this turned out to be the bell on top of the strong-man tester. The entertainment consisted of many things seen and heard at a carnival; even a snake charmer, alias Dick Cavonius, and a smart elephant with his expert trainer. We even had a Can-Can dancer who in reality was Hughie Nuremberg. Bob deZafra made a wonderful M. C. with a nose as red as Rudolph’s. As wearing a crazy hat was part of the admission price, we had all sorts of weird head dresses present and later in the evening had prizes awarded for the outstanding creations. When the time came for the participation in sports, the freshman class was there full force. This early start proved to be a very good thing in later years. Some of the freshmen really walked a good many miles their first year, for we won the magazine campaign—the first class to win two years in a row. We had a special movie as our reward. The event which is supposed to be the biggest in our underclassmen days proved to be a huge flop when we were freshmen. Many of us still remember going down to the stage seventh period on the day of our social to think up the entertainment. Everyone who went that night knew that we had done it that way, too. Our Sophomore year opened to find we were old hands at this school and we were glad to see our buddies' faces again. Although there were a few new faces, many of the old ones were gone and the 85 that were left really missed them. Again, as president we elected Bill Jones, but the other officers were new ones. They were Owen Peagler, as veep, Ellen Moore as secretary, and Eddie Ferriss as treasurer. We sure started the year out right this time for as our adviser we chose Miss Northrop. This year was a memorable one for we had to go to school on two Saturdays because of the heavy snow which everyone, even now, remembers. Again this year we were outstanding in all sports. At the end of the year we had a picnic at the lake, thanks to the hard work of Miss Northrop. In our Junior year there were again some changes in class officers. This year we elected Owen Peagler as president, Bill Jones as veep, Sally Hueston took the notes, and as treasurer, Bill Schnell. Needless to say. we again chose Miss Northrop as our able adviser. This year we had our social in the fall before Thanksgiving and used that as our theme. Few will forget our Indians and squaws and the hunter and Indian game warden. Even though Barnacle Bill, alias Pat Murphy, and his lovely girl friend, Hugh Nuremberg, didn't follow the theme, all of us got a big laugh watching Barnacle Bill coaxing his girl down the ladder. Again as in every year we were outstanding in all sports. But this year we had a monopoly in all of them. Also this year, we just made our quota for the magazine campaign. The reason we weren’t so good this year was that we had lost so many members of our class. We now had only 75 in it and we missed our friends a great deal. 2
