0 0 Q n Have reached an important goal SENIOR CLASS HISTORY PANICKY FRESHMICN .. .... C1944-l945J Once a group of scared greenies entered the Pearly Gates of PENN HIGH. Scared! That wasn't the word for it, we were petriHed. Not knowing the in's and out's of this new, wonder- ful, but frightening world, we vainly sought ele- vators in the halls, sneaked behind doors for rooms, not daring to ask upperclassmen, because they would try to give us tokens for elevators and to misinform us generally. Slowly, we became accustomed to the rules and regulations of this great institution. Soon we began to feel a warmth about us. What was it? That good ol' PENN HIGH Spirit. We boosted the Freshman Party. We ignored the know it all upperclassmen and Hnally ended our freshmen year with dreaded exams, ready to become EAGER SOPHOMORES C1945-19465 Yes, we're grown up. 'lihat year, with the feeling of Panicky Freshmen polished away and the feeling of Eager Beavers acquired, we were ready to set examples for the new freshmen! Through the football season, at every game and rally, the voices of the Sophomores mingled with those of the mighty juniors and seniors, backing our boys. We tried to set the fashions by wear- ing the latest fads: blue jeans, sloppy shirts, cor- duroy jackets, bright shoe strings, and color- rimmed glasses. We had a grand welcoming for freshmen at our Reception, which was the best ever! 'llhen the end of the term came and once again we crammed for exams, but we looked for- ward to becoming upperclassmen, preferably, NONCHALANT JUNIORS C1946-19475 Peppy, jolly, upperclassmen-that was the lifel We started that year with great enthusiasm. We organized our own clubs and participated in the activities of the student body. Of course, being upperclassmen presented its problems too. We groaned, sighed, and some even missed that early bus. Remember how successfully we pro- duced Ann of Green Gables to build up our treasury? We spent the money in grand style for the Junior-Senior Reception. Remember, too, how eager we were to try the senior seats for size, to become the NOTABLE SENIORS C1947-19485 That was really the year-more class offices, stronger representation in the student body, more social life, our play, You Can't Take It With You, the sports, and many other events. Four years came and went. Years that were full of triumphs and disillusionments. Years that put our class on the pages of PENN HIGH his- tory, long to be remembered. We now recall moments of joy, sorrow, wonder and pleasure in the making of new friends, pretense of sophis- tication, the pleasure of giving help and false information to the Panicky freshmen, the tense- ness of cramming for examinations-All those reminiscences passed in review as we doffed our hats and gowns and voiced a parting word or two to our Alma Mater, PENN HIGH.
