CLASS HI TGRY As advisers, we have witnessed four years of the joys, as well as the trials and tribu- laticns, of the 19-I-7 graduating class. During their freshman year, we did not know them as advisers, but were quite im- pressed by the rumors which kept drifting over to us from Joseph Welty Junior High. This was the year 1944, and the students were doing great jobs in the war bond, stamp, and paper drives. We heard of their participation in the regular home-room and noon-hour activities of the school. They climaxed their junior high school days with impressive commencement exercises, a happy day at Tuscora Park, and many pleasant memories. Of course, as upper classmen, they considered themselves junior high society. VVe looked forward to seeing their reactions the nekt year in an environment new to them. ln 19-I-5 we welcomed a group of promising but bewildered sophomores to our school. But as soon as their confusion passed, they entered into the maze of activities which the curriculum offered. Continuing to lie active in their war effort, they put their shoulders to the wheel and again stood well as a class in the number and amount of war bonds and stamps which they sold. ln preparation for the major social event of the year, the Sophomore Dance, some attempted to ntaster the art of dancing in the newly formed dancing classes. And it was not long ltefore their first year in senior high had drawn to a close. Nineteen hundred and forty-six-and the first school year of peace. VVe joyfully welcomed many ex-G. l.'s into the class. This was a busy year for the juniors. Cur beautified lawns and the memorial to our alumni who died in the service of their country are the results of the excellent effort of this and the other classes of New Philadelphia High School, in the Curtis Publishing Company lwagazine Drive. This was such a successful enterprise that it was carried over into a second year. This year's proceeds were divided among the classes, the Delphian Staff, and the school, which plans to purchase a recording system. To finance the annual Junior-Senior Prom, they presented the Junior Jamboree, the niost successful school talent assembly of the year. Then came the prom, vacation-- and they were reluctantly ready to embark upon their last year of high school. Heavy schedules and numerous activities increased the responsibility and dignity of the class as seniors. There were dances and more dances, scholarship tests for the more studious, the successful presentation of the clas play, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, the prom, the banquetg and finally came one of the most important days of their lives-their day of graduation, and with it the completion of twelve full years of preparation to take their places as the citizens of tomorrow. It is our hope that they will have as much success in the future as they have had during their high school years with us.
