In our third year as Juniors At the last meeting of the year Harold Torstensen was chc sen as our class marshal. There is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. In September of 1948, we rode in on the flood tide of our Senior year and were duly worshipped by the undergraduates as Seniors. Our class officers for the Senior year were: President, Harold Torstenseng Vice- President, Nancy Parmenterg Secretary, Irene Holstong Treasurer, Luther Smith. Our representatives on the Student Council were: Courtney Woodcock, Sonya Anderson, Luther Smith, Alan Woodrow, Dorothy Wigglesworth, Sally Dike, Adele Brubaker. Mr. Querim was our new class advisor for our Senior year. Mr. Bailey, who was our principal for three years, resigned, and Mr. Faulkner became the new principal. In October the yearbook staff was elected as follows: James Haley, Editor-in- Chief g Sonya Anderson, Assistant Editor, Louis Orszulak, Photography Editor, and William Lawson, Business Manager. One of the responsibilities directly connected with being a Senior is the matter of class pictures. Louis Orszulak worked with Mr. Warner on the matter of the photo- graphs, and the class was pleased with the results. Among the many business ventures we undertook were: Food sales, paper drives, the sale of Christmas trees, and the selling of magazine subscriptions. The proceeds from these undertakings were used for our class trip. Working with the co-operation of the Orange Theater manager, the class of '49 showed the movie, The Crusades, and it proved to be another successful venture. The D. A. R. Good Citizenship candidates were elected by the class, and from the final candidates, the faculty chose Barbara Marshall. Mrs. Ryan directed our Senior Play, rehearsing the actors, and receiving the head- aches. We left Orange for our class trip to Washington on April 18. We went straight to New York by the regular bus route, right to the Dixie bus depot. During the follow- ing long week we traveled a thousand miles and saw Philadelphia, York and Gettys- burg battlefield in Pennsylvania 3 Shenandoah Caverns and Mount Vernon in Virginia 5 Washington and Nedick's in D. C. 3 Annapolis in Maryland, and then back to New York and Orange. Everyone enjoyed the trip in spite of such a minor detail as measles. Many old friends got to know each other better, and many new friends were made, not mention- ing any names. We returned home again on April 21st, a very tired but happy group of Seniors, having lost some in both money and Weight, but gaining twofold in wonderful memories and experiences. Although our happy history in Orange High School has come to a close, our real history is just beginning. To quote our class motto, Out of the harbor into deeper waters.

Then came the excitement of the Freshman Welcome at which the Seniors adorned us with bibs and stuffed our mouths with lollipops. For class officers we elected: William Blum, president, Virginia Bailey, vice- presidentg Beverly Harris, secretary, Ronald Cberichetti, treasurer. Our three mem- lgers elected to Student Council were Robert Chapman, Paul Fredrickson and Virginia ai ey. We participated in the annual one-act play contest, the members of the cast being: Diane Stone, Nyca Crowl, June Ferguson, Arlan Willard and Charles Housen. We were proud to have Daniel Dowd and Philip Woodrow represent us in the Minstrel Show, as end-men. Our Freshman year drew to a close with Baccalaureate, when we were first allowed to enter the front door of Orange High School. Again the rope pull marked the opening of another year ahead. We were Sopho- mores, and this time we were the champions. We chose for our class oflicersz Philip Woodrow, president 5 Madeline Hamilton, vice-presidentg Donna Harper, secretary, Richard Bergquist, treasurer. We were represented in Student Council by Nyca Crowl, Virginia Bailey, Kathryn French, Paul Fredrickson and Richard Bergquist. This time we won the one-act play contest, and the awards of best actress and best actor went to June Ferguson and Philip Woodrow. On April 30, we experienced the thrill of putting on our first prom. This year, again, Philip Woodrow and Daniel Dowd were end men in the Minstrel Show along with Clyde Robbins. Thus our Sophomore year was ended. At last we are upper classmen-Juniors! We could no longer participate in the rope pull, but we still enjoyed it. Our class officers are: Arlan MacKnight, presidentg Nyca Crowl, vice-presidentg Nancy Powers, secretary, and Calvert Lundgren, treasurer. This year our Student Council representatives are Kathryn French, Marcia Ander- son, Virginia Bailey, Richard Bergquist, Robert Chapman and Paul Fredrickson. Richard Bergquist was chosen president of the Council and Virginia Bailey, vice- president. Beverly Wigglesworth and Donna Harper served as cheer leaders. Our Junior Prom was successfully decorated with Christmas scenes. In the One-act Play Contest we had the honor of having Madeline Hamilton chosen as the best actress and Arlan Willard as the best actor. When the Minstrel Show rolled around this year four of the six end-men were members of our class: Philip Woodrow, Daniel Dowd, Arlan Willard and Clyde Rob- bins. We are proud of our many outstanding athletes, both boys and girls, several of whom have received their letters during the three years at Orange High. We are all looking forward to an even more successful year as Seniors. tw On- Mfrs fs
