A measure of revenge was gained during the early weeks of school as they initiated the Freshmen class. Initiation week ended for the Freshmen with a party in the gym the night before the Moorefield football game. The annual class program was given in the fall. It was a historical musicale of our nation’s progress. Fourteen The 1950 Petro-Schola

During the dull months of February and March, the Juniors decided to make good use of the time and raise some money toward their Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. They did this by giving away a Dormeyer Electric Mixer with several attachments in turn for donations for the benefit of the class. On May 12, after six weeks of worry and hard work, great pride was taken in entertaining the Senior Class, faculty, and administration at the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom, which was held in the school cafeteria. The theme of the evening was “Wishing”, and decorations and music corresponded with the theme. Mr. John McNeill, of Moorefield, served as Master of Ceremonies and a very entertaining program was climaxed with the coronation of the King and Queen of the Prom. We were very glad to have Mr. McNeill back, even if only for an evening. The class officers for the year 1949-1950 were: President, Mary C. Hyre; Vice President, Thomas Goldizen; Secretary, Dolly Kimble; Treasurer, Ted Whitacre. The 1C50 Petro-Schola Thirteen
