SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We, as members of the Senior Class, find it very difficult to realize that we have reached our goal of completing our education in the Port Allegany Schools. Almost twelve years ago, one morning in early September, thirty-five anxious children started their first year of school. These years passed quickly. The first year, which was really our most simple, seemed hard to the youngsetrs. During the first year we certainly did appreciate Miss Winship's patience in her struggle to give us a good foundation for our future years of learning. Before we were aware of it, our first six grades passed successfully and then we were happy to know that we had completed at least one-half of our schooling. We all thought we were pretty grown up the first day we marched upstairs to Junior High School. Of course we weren't as big as we thought, as you all know, because the Freshmen looked down on us as the Baby Seventh Graders. When we became Fresh- men we likewise did the same thing because we thought that being a Frosh was really big stuff. The next year we, the Class of Forty Eight, marched into Senior High, thrilled because at last we were here, but a little afraid of becoming Sophomores. Initiation. Our feeling of pride and haughtiness, which we acquired the year before, left us when we really came to and realized we were only members of a green and humble class. However, we survived the ordeal of taking orders from the Big Seniors and managed to limp through initiation night. Our Sophomore Hop was a success and all enjoyed themselves thoroughly. The following year we were Juniors and though not in the limelight we had a good year and loads of fun. Our biggest event of that year was our junior Prom, which for the first time in several years was preceded by a Junior-Senior Banquet given in honor of the Seniors. Our thanks go to the Junior's mothers for planning, preparing, and serv- ing the dinner. The Prom was a success and many considered it the best one held in several years. Our president, Gertrude Milgate, had the distinction of being the first girl president in the history of Port Allegany High School. Our Senior year arrived and Donald Quint was chosen our president. Our activities as seniors included the well known Magazine Campaignf' which was. carried to a successful close, several of our members receiving, the coveted Curtis Certificate of Achievement. Our Tiger Lily was started and finished and we hope you all will enjoy it as it represents much hard work on the part of the staff. We were honored by the Sophomore Hop and Junior Prom. Class night was loads of fun and our Baccalaureate Service was both interesting and instructive. As Commencement exercises drew to a close, we looked back and found it diHicu1t to realize that at last we had reached our goal and were graduating. The Class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty Eight officially disbanded, and each of us stepped out into the future with a sincere endeavor to make the most of our education, and be good citizens of our community, state and nation, In closing, we offer our sincere appreciation to Mr. Hardy, Mr. Bates, and the rest of the faculty for their untiring efforts in guiding us through our school years, and we wish them continued success in the years ahead. To Mr. Bottorf, whose great interest in us during our senior year when we needed it most, we extend our special thanks. page twenty eight
