History of Senior Class of 1951 It was September and a particularly eventful dayg the first day of school for June Marcus, Betty Brunner, Vera Mae Snider, Mary Jean Schill, Vernon Rapp, Charles Sovereign, Charles Rogers, and a set of twins, Betty and Bob Evans. These pioneer members of the class of '51 made an auspicious beginning. They proved themselves eager students and happy groups of noisy youngsters at re- cess. The school routine was broken by several excursions. One was an outing to the Cincinnati Zoo, another a visit to Fort Ancient. As the class added to its store of knowledge members were added too. Betty Lou Shepherd joined in the fourth grade and Mary Jean Schill left, then Joe Scott joined the class in the fifth grade. Ray Holland, Roy Keenan and Lenny Part- in came in the sixthg Vernon Wagner, Donald Ramsey, Robert Breving and Don Rumpke in the eighth. When the class completed the first lap of its educational journey and entered the first year of high school, Sylvia Sch- wemberger, Clara Heikenfeld, Virginia Carpenter, Donald Werring, and Robert Hawk became members and we were all initiated in a hilarious evening soon after. It seemed only a short time until mid- year exams lent a solemn finish to the half year of work and play in the fresh- man room, It was soon spring and the end of that eventful year. The following September, 1948, all these same students returned and also- a newcomer, Jeanne lmbus. Everyone arranged his schedule and was sobn in the swing of school life again. It was in this year that we sponsored a dance, 'The Snowflake Whirl' and also gave an assembly skit under the efficient super- vision of Mrs. Corbett. As we saw and heard the juniors and seniors busily mak- ing plans for Commencement and for the Junior-Senior Prom, we realized more fully that the following years were to be the most eventful ones. In the fall of 1949 all these students were the juniors and ready to start the year. We all studied U, S. History this year under Mr. Evans and learned how this country was founded and grew into the most productive nation that it is, and what great men shaped its destiny. In this year we sold refreshments at the basketball games. Under the expert di- rection of Mrs. Lohrer we presented our C1855 Play 'Quiet Everybody which kept us very busy for a while and the proceed: of which were our main income. We se- lected our class rings too. It was the year of 1949 and 1950 that Owensville Basket- ball Team advanced to third place in the county. The climax of the year was reach- ed at the Junior-Senior Banquet in the spring and formal dance that evening in our new auditorium. In the senior year we came to school with a new feeling of importance and proudly took possession of the senior class-room, It was then that we were happy to welcome Mary Jean Schill back to our class. This year we went Shakespearean and Mrs. Lohrer took us to 'Macbeth' and then to Haxnlet after we studied them in Literature. Along with our new senior confidence ca.rne added responsibilities, such as the preparation of our annual and the editing of our monthly school paper under the able di- rection of Mrs. Geddes, and the prepa- ration of the class play. The memory of our high school days will ever revert to our Thursday Folk Dances when under Mr. Lemon's skill- ful guidance many of us were taught the fundamentals of square dancing. This foundation will stand us in good stead, and to Mr. Lemon we say sincerely, Thank you ll As June approaches our feelings are mixed. Our carefree happy school days will be behind us. These golden days replete with memories of teachers and classmates have brought us a deeper understanding of life, coupled witha will- ingness and the ability to share our treasures, School days, dear old golden rule days! And the goal of all our en- deavors--commencement, the beginning of future glories for the Class of 1951.
