Seam GLM Jzrzma In September, 1949, fifty-seven freshmen entered the portals of Palmyra High School to begin their high school career. We were a little shy at first but soon became acquainted and quite at home. Our sponsors for the year were Mrs. Schuckenbrock and Mrs. Ellis. A day never to be forgotten was freshman initi- ation. We were honored to have one of our class mates, Mabel Claus, elected Carnival Queen. In September, 1950, fifty-six sophomores began their second year in Pal- myra High School. Our sponsors for the year were Mrs. Ellis and Mr. Hulen. Early in the year We initiated the freshmen and also gave them a party. Harold McCormick was chosen to represent the class on the Sophomore Pilgrimage. In September, 1951, fifty-two juniors started the second half of their high school education. Our sponsors were Mrs. Stewart and Mr. Lewis. We presented the annual junior play, LOVE IS TOO MUCH TROUBLE, on December 7. The biggest event of the year was the jr.-Sr. Prom in the spring. Carolyn Becker was chosen to attend Girls, State in Fulton. Bob Bier was the representative to Boys' State in Boonville.
