HI TORY 0F THE CLASS 0F 19 2 In the autumn of l939, a few of us Seniors-Prue Warren, David Titus, Jack Toth, Julia Szuhay, George Hanna, and Ronnie Schmidt-were be- wildered but enthusiastic as we wandered into a small kindergarten class being held at Beechbrook. Somehow, these eager beavers managed to stay at good old Orange even though the rest of the original class transferred or dropped out at various times during the years following. When the class reached the sixth grade it had its first taste of journal- ism, it published a paper called The Orange Echo and was the second class to produce the paper. ln l946 the class entered the seventh grade in junior high, at last they could go to some of the dances the Seniors attended! This year the class was divided into two homerooms, one under Mr. Young and the other under Mr. Stansberry. Then ninth-grade status and twenty-six boys and girls from Warrensville Heights arrived simultaneously. ln the days that followed we became one big, happy family. Bill Kieger was elected class president and Miss Trimple and Coach Kibbel were our homeroom teachers. Our first drama club presented a comedy called BilIy's First Date directed by Miss Trimple. Moe Griffiths, Prue Warren, Bill Kieger, and Mona Meyers had the leads. As is usually the case, after being freshmen, we became sophomores. Our president was again Bill Kieger. Football season drew to a close with Grange in first place for the second season in a row. Rosemary Kainec, Joanne Benes, and Phillis Clark were cheerleaders this year, Our drama club presented a comedy, Georgie Porgie, the leading roles being filled by Moe Griffiths, Jerry Kaczor, Prue Warren, and Joanne Benes. Miss Trimple was again the director. Very suddenly we found ourselves in our Junior year. lt was a busy year. We ordered our class rings and chose the Academy Award style. We thought they would never arrive, but finally they did, ah, what beautiesl For the class play, Susie the Siren was chosen, and Miss Trimple again directed. The stars were Joanne Benes, Elaine Evans, Jerry Kaczor, Bill Kieger, and Moe Griffiths. The Junior-Senior prom was our next big effort. lt was held at the Alcazar Hotel and a fine time was had by all. Bill Kieger was re- elected president for this year and also served as vice-president of the Stu- dent Council. Dave Titus was class vice-president, Jim Nelson, treasurer, and Joanne Benes, secretary. Prue Warren, Bob Hammel, and Rosemary Kainec were council representatives. Orange took the football championship for the third straight time. Numbered among the National Honor Society members were Prue Warren, secretary, Dave Titus, and Bill Kieger. Finally the long-awaited year arrived. With Tom July as president, Jerry Kaczor, vice-president, Jim Nelson, Treasurer, and Connie Kummers, sec- retary, the Senior Class of l952 blossomed forth. We chose black and gold as our colors and the carnation as the class flower. lt was decided that our caps and gowns would be blue and white. Dottie Payne was editor of Highlights: the staff of seventeen, under the direction of Mr. Young, did a splendid job of supplying the school with news, The class ploy, Arsenic and Old Lace, was a smash hit, Prue Warren and Rachel Collier had the leading roles in the play which was directed by Mrs. Crockett and Mr. Kerr, two teachers new to the Orange faculty. The football team won its fourth con- secutive championship, a phenomenal record. Near the end of the season Rosemary Kainec was elected Homecoming Queen. Our class was the first to hold Senior Teaching Day. Two seniors were assigned to each class or office position and took over the duties of teachers and administrative per- sonnel. The day was very successful and set a new tradition. Yes, the class made some history. We are not ashamed of it, by any means, and it is not one we shall forget very soon.
