A' if if SOPHOMORES is 1 is In the beginning of the year we found ourselves with only fifteen in our class. As school continued, the number decreased, and we became the smallest class, consisting of only ten girls and two boys. Because of our small class we were given the stage as our homeroom. We started the year by electing officers for our class. They were as follows: presi- dent, Lewis Brysong vice-president, Ella Zimmerman, secretary, Evelyn Browng treasurer, Norma Hohman. One of the main events of the year occurred when Mr. Blevins took our biology class on a hike to Cedar Hill, We are now working on an assembly program which is to be given February 16. It will be in the form of a minstrel show. We also are hoping for a successful St. Patrick's Day party which is scheduled for March 16. We, the Sophomore Class, sincerely wish the Class of '45 all success and happiness through the years to come. Twenty-seven

'A' 'A' 'k lumens 'A' 'k 'A' At last we are juniors- Jolly Juniors. For the second consecutive year we have occu- pied Room B with Miss Emst trying to pass some of her knowledge on to us. The first semester proved to be a very busy one, First of all, class ohicers were elected as follows: Robert Esbenshade, presidentg Harold Mowrer, vice-president, Mary Jane Shreiner, secretaryg Eva Denlinger, treasurer. Next we chose maroon and white as our class colors, ordered our pennants, hats, and class rings. A blizzard furnished enough snow for a sleigh ride. The second semester began with nine girls and three boys chosen to portray characters in the junior play, Saved by the Belle. Next were two dances sponsored by the juniors, one after the Upper Leacock basketball game and one called the junior Bunny Hop. Last, but not least, came the Junior-Senior Banquet which we all enjoyed. We, the Class of 1946, sincerely wish happiness and success to each and every member of the Senior Class. Twenty-six

There were 42 of us, and Room F was not any too large. Our class was so large that we were divided into two groups, sections A and B. Friday, September 22, 1944, a class meeting was held under the supervision of Mr. Blevins, the class advisor, and class officers were elected: Robert Parmer, president, Fred Hershey, vice-president, Marcia Eshelman, secretary, and David Eby, treasurer. Then came our initiation rules. The girls had to wear aprons, one long stocking and one short stocking, while the boys wore bow-ties, and trouser legs rolled up so as to show odd socks. So far we have been trying to do our best in supporting class parties. We planned a Freshman Class party on january 5, but it was postponed until the latter part of February. As the Class of '45 prepares to leave the high school to become alumni, we, the Class of '48, wish you happiness and success throughout your joumey in life. Twenty-eight
