Time Marches On It doesn't seem possible, but we are soon to be graduating from our good old high school life. Did someone say that those kids who only yesterday were running around in knicker pants or with pigtails are actually graduating? It must be true because it is right before me in the books . . . Yes, a record of each eventful year through which we passed. As we look back over the years to '42 we find a great many interesting things to stir our memories. I can remember that first day that all forty of us paraded into room F, We started out with an even number of boys and girls. Mr. Houseberg had the great re- sponsibility of taking us under his wing. We, of course, were very easy to handle as we never disobeyed any of the rules? ? ? The class elected, for president. Robert Kepleyg vice-president, Leon Martin 5 secretary, Mary Jane Shreinerg treasurer. Eva Denlinger. We did finally get into the swing of things after being initiated by our overlords, the Sophs. Our sleighing party was a great success except for everyone's having about two inches to sit in and Gladys Hershey's falling out on her head. Time marches on to our sophomore year. There were then twenty-six of us left. As we marched into room B we all took a second look at our new home room teacher, Miss Ernst. This year we got our chance to initiate our victims-the freshmen. As things got under way we elected our class officers: Harold Mowrer, presidentg William Rapp, vice- presidentg Mary Jane Shreiner. secretary, Eva Denlinger, treasurer. We managed to put on a modern minstrel show after about an hour's practice as our home room assembly program. There were a few faint laughs during the show. I guess these were directed at us and not at the jokes. Again this year we had a sleighing party. We Silly Sophs managed to pull through another year. Christy Brackbill helped a lot with a few funny remarks now and then. Time progresses to our Jolly' Junior year. As there were now ten girls and eight boys, we acquired the name Eight Ball and Ten Pins. We soon learned that we were to occupy room B for another year. The first semester we were really kept busy. The class officers were as follows: president, Robert Esbenshadeg vice-president, Harold Mowrerg secretary. Mary Jane Shreinerg treasurer, Eva Denlinger. We chose for our class colors maroon and white. We also ordered our hats, pennants, and emblems. Our rings came the latter part of the year. We didn't miss our sleigh ride this year either. The first morning we saw any signs of snow we had our sleigh ordered. The second semester began with nine girls and three boys chosen to portray characters in the junior play. Saved by the Belle. We also conducted two dances. Spring finally came and brought with it the junior-senior reception. We hope the class of '45 enjoyed the chicken in the patty shell as much as we did. Time marches up to the present year, making us none other than the Superior Seniors. This year we welcomed a new home room teacher, Miss Heverly. We have at last reached room HC. Mr. Eshelman is acting as our class advisor. The class roll still lists ten girls and eight boys. Our one new classmate this year is Kenneth Buckwalter. The class officers chosen to accept the responsibility for the senior year are: Robert Esbenshade, presidentg Harold Mowrer, vice-presidentg Mary Jane Shreiner, secretary g Eva Denlinger, treasurer. The operetta was the first major event of the year. Betty Patton, Margaret Hagen, Mary Jane Shreiner, Harold Mowrer, Kenneth Buckwalter, and Robert Trout were seniors who had leads in Betty Lou. We are putting all our efforts forth in trying to make this an enjoyable yearbook for you to read. You, and only you, can tell us if our efforts have been in vain or for the best. This seems to conclude the class history of our high school life. As time marches on, we wish the best of everything to the future classes of P. H. S. Twenty
