nit-. After tramping through the caverns, it was a pleasure to sit down to eat, before it started to rain, as usual! We kept the same home room in our junior year, with Mr. McKenna as our sponsor. Or should we say Guardian Angel, considering all the trouble we got into! Hut don’t take us wrong. We really were an enthusiastic class that year. Besides the usual falling over pop cases, and the overcooking of hot dogs, we sponsored two very, very successful paper drives which added to our treasury, for the Prom. And what a Prom!! We held it at the Manakiki Country Club with the music of Jack Horwitz. It was a beautiful night with a full moon and the whisper of lilacs and apple blossoms in the air. Because of the coolness of the air, there was little “golfing” done that night! Although everyone worked hard, the worry fell on the shoulders of the officers for that year. Hill Hutchins was president, Helen Kurtz, vice-president, Lester Elliot, treasurer, Robyn Von Lehmden, secretary, and Jim Mackey and Herbert Simmons, student council representatives. One new member was added that year, and she was Joyce Nv-berg. Several members of the class, who belonged to the Scholarship Club, took a trip to Washington, I). C. in April. Always searching for something new, we went to Lake Shore Park in Ashtabula for our class picnic. For variety, it didn’t rain! At last the long awaited fall of ’51 arrived. This was to be the best year, the climax of our days at P. H. S. Our address this year was room 22, which had now been changed back to study hall, with Mr. Inscho as our sponsor. Jim Mackey took up the gavel as president, with Hill Hutchins serving as vice-president. Nancy Williams was chief pen-pusher (alias secretary), and Lester Elliot served his third consecutive term as treasurer. He deserves a pension for that1 Sally Mantle and Herbert Simmons were our student council representatives. Emogene Bickel became our 40th member of the class, as we had lost Tom Nevlon and Jo Carter. The year was full of activity. The boys played their final season in all sports and .several received special recog- nition on All Star teams. Again the girls won the hockey trophy and at last captured the basketball award. Robyn Von Lehmden was crowned Homecoming Queen by Football Captain Jim Mackey, with Sally Mantle and Jessie Clark as her attendants. Due to the snowbound conditions, the Christinas Luncheon this year was canceled, but the Seniors braved all, and went ahead with their plans for the Christmas Alumni Dance, which was held on December 20th. They even went so far as to obtain, (or should we say borrow) a Christmas tree from the top of Blair Hill! The decorating crew held their own Luncheon in the Home Economics room with the main course being hamburgers and pop. After our extended holiday vacation, we all came back to school and settled down to serious studying as exain time wasn’t too far off. After the report cards were out and the dust had settled, it was noticed around town that several new drivers were in our midst. This was due to the newly organized Driver Education course. In February, the Seniors were very busy trying to meet the Annual deadline. The pictures had been taken in October and we had received our “glamor shots” in December. School days seems to be flying by and all the preparation for our caps and gowns, and orders were taken for personal cards, and announcements. Tentative plans were made for Senior day, that unbelievable time when we took over the school, and all the students in it. Now let’s return to the present. It is now May, 1952, that year that seemed so far away in our minds. On June the first, the Baccalaureate services will he held in the auditorium, with the Rev. Snare as the speaker. And then June the second, the red-letter day in our lives. We have been looking forward to this day for years, but when it arrives, don’t you think everyone of us will feel just a little bit sad? The pianist will start to play the traditional “Land of Hope and Glory,” and we’ll walk down that long aisle for the last time, with our diplomas in our hand. For we will be proud graduates of our Alma Mater, Perry High School. fifteen
