We, the Class of ’52, look back on our freshman year as one of great importance to us. Although we did not sponsor any special activities or projects that year, we became acquainted with and adjusted ourselves to high school life. We met other people, developed new friendships, and became acquainted with our instructors and their different methods of teaching. This year many members of our class went out for basketball, a few joined the baseball squad, and. others became affiliated with the band. We selected blue and gold as our class colors, and the yellow rose as our flower. Our homeroom teachers were Mr. Raab and Mr. Bryan. Class officers for 1948-49 were: President—William Snyder, Vice President—Leonard Wentz, Secretary—Yvonne Richstein, Treasurer—Nancy Lahman. Our sophomore year proved to be a busy, but very enjoyable one. This year our class presented a few assembly programs to the school, sponsored a dance, and held a class party. The biggest event was our “Sadie Hawkin’s Day Dance”. It got its initiation into the school on November 17, 1949. The school orchestra, under the direction of Mr. George Smeltz, Jr., the refreshments, which consisted of “Kickapoo Juice” (cider) and Pfeflfermuesses (Dutch cakes), the appropriately decorated gym, and one of the largest dance crowds the school has seen for several years; all helped term this dance as a very successful one. The students elected to lead our class through all undertakings were: President— William Snyder, Vice President—Shirley Meckley, Secretary—Yvonne Richstein, Treasurer—Merrill Yohe, Hostorian—Edgar Knepper. We are looking forward to our junior year with great anticipation, and hope it holds for us as many happy times as we have had at N. O. H. S. thus far. IsS ta
