On this xnorniny' N 38 shy freshmen entered Paradise High School to find Mr. Blevins, our former grade school teacher behind the desk. 11Ve elected Kenneth Lichty for our President, John Holfecker, Vice President, Mary Jane Lefever, Secretary, and Shirley Wiker as Treasurer. The Freshman Frolic was the party we sponsored. This was the first fling at a money-making event. Mr. Blevins accompanied the class on a trip to Hershey where we toured the chocolate factory. We thoroughly enjoyed the remainder of the day in the amusement park. 1949-1950 After a summer of freedom and leisure from books, we again found ourselves at Paradise, this time on the stage since our class had decreased to 32. Miss Lemon, a new member of the faculty, was our home room advisor. Once again we elected Kenneth Lichty President, John Hoflecker, Vice President, Mary Jane Lefever, Secretary, and Shirley Wiker, Treasurer. April found us busily preparing for our annual class party, The Sophamore Shindigf' A class trip to Philadelphia was the highlight of the year. We visited the Franklin Institute and saw a baseball game at Shibe Park. 1950-1951 When we returned to school in September of 1950 we found our class would again have Miss Lemon as our homeroom teacher on the stage. Aaron Denlinger was elected President along with John Hoffecker, Vice-President, Mary Jane Lefever, Secretary and Shirley Wikcr, Treasurer. Our first undertaking for this year was the selection of class colors, Military Blue and Gray. Shortly after, we chose our class rings and ordered our class hats and pennants.

We transferred to Room C with Miss Fulginiti as our homeroom teacher. Aaron Den- linger was unanimously elected as Class President. The other officers were Kenneth Lichty, Vice President, Mary Jane Lefever, Secretary, and Shirley Wiker, Treasurer. The class had contributed its efforts to many of the school activities, as well as sponsoring events of its own.
