CLASS HISTORY FRESHMAN Oh Happy Day! On September 7, 19-14, we, the Class of 1948, entered Princeton High School. We were one hundred sixty-three rather bewildered students, as we were pushed around all day by the upper classmen and frantically searched for the right classes at the right time. One consolation was that we weren't the only new persons at high school for there were several new faculty members. They were Miss Perry, Miss Webb, Mr. Antonini, Mrs. Garrett, Mrs. Maxam, and Mr. Johnson. Our class sponsors were Miss Mary Lois Taylor and Mr. Pittman, and they soon had us selling wrapping paper and greeting cards to raise the class funds. Those students we chose to represent the class in the Student Council were Sue Hillman,Jean Phillips, Jerry Burton, Fred Wright, Jerry Bishop, Sue Redenbacher, Peggy Gwaltney, and David Woods. Some of the braver boys in the class went out for footballiJerry Burton, Gilmore Douglas, Arthur Warren, David Lawson, Paul C1'ooks, Richard Carter, Jim Hunt, Harry Puckett, Pete Colvin, Bill Hart, and Charles Mair, Those members who represented us in basketball were Joe Stoll, Charles Hickrod, David Woods, Joe Graham, Fred Wright, Gilmore Douglas, John Cummins, Jerry Burton, and Roy Hamblen. On the baseball team were Jerry Burton, John Cummins, and Pat Byrne. Bonnie Hitch became a drum majorette. During this school year the George Field Air Forces gave a program in the gym. This was en- joyed by all of the students in P.H.S. Pete Colvin was one of those student managers, who painted army shoes bright red with initials on the toes in white. These shoes were very much in evidence at all of the games. In January we welcomed thirty-five mid-term students who came to P.H.S. from Lowell. It was on May 8, 1945, that the war in Europe ended, and all of Princeton High School celebrated by taking the day off. In the Freshman Composition classes Miss Walker had everyone bring his hobbies to exhibit to the class, and some of these, such as Sue Redenbacher's collection of Toby jugs, were very interesting and beautiful. There was a scrap drive held, with Miss Taylor's room as headquarters, and everyone worked as hard as he could to contribute his share. The freshman girls were initiated into the Girl Reserves and each girl was required to wear her hair in pigtails, clothing on wrong side out, no make-up, and an onion around her neck. The traditional initiation was held for the boys! l l We also sponsored a movie, Blondie and Dag- wood , which helped to increase the class funds. SOPHOMORE Soon the summer was gone, and we again entered P.H.S., but this time we were no longer green freshmen, but seasoned Sophomores. New faculty members were Mrs. Morrow, Mr. Walker, Mrs. Moore, Mr. Downey, and Mr. Dyer. This year our Student Council members were Adam Lathom, David Woods, Pete Colvin, 'Arletta Williams, Patsy Hicks, Jerry Burton, Marilyn Holle, Joyce McDonald, and Wilma Hill. Three members of our class, Patty Anderson, Patsy Hicks, and Helen Stevens, became student librarians. Joanne Lynn and Joyce McDonald joined Bonnie Hitch as drum majorettes. The members of our class who went out for foot- ball were Pete Colvin, David Lawson, Barney Mc- Gowan, Harry Puckett, Charles Mair, Paul Crooks, Bill Hart, James Wolfe, and Richard Carter, The sophomore girls elected to serve as attendants to the Football Queen were Peggy Gwaltney and Bonnie Hitch. Joe Stoll, Charles Hickrod, and Jerry Burton represented us very well in basketball this season. On March 18 we lost one of our classmates, Mary Wilderman, in a tragic accident, in which Sue Hillman was also seriously injured. '48 GLASS We also had an outstanding track team this year. Some of the sophomores on the team were Fred Wright, David Lawson, Pete Colvin, Allen Mossman, Gilmore Douglas, Bob Edgar, Joe Stoll, Bob Smith, Adam Lathom, and Bill Hart. The Girls Reserves sponsored a Holly Hop at Christmas. Certainly everyone remembers the holly and the gaily decorated gym, but most of all the mistletoe that was hanging all around the dance floor. We left school at the end of that term with a very jubilant feeling, because we knew that when we next returned to P.H.S., we would be upper class- men, and this was just what we had been looking forward to for such a long time. JUNIOR In September, 1946, we again returned to Prince- ton High School and were glad to see all of the familiar faces and surroundings after the three short summer months of our vacation. Some of the new faculty members were Mr. Weist and Mr. Daubenspeck. Miss Anna Kreige resigned during this year, after teaching at Princeton High School for quite a number of years. We could say, A job well done.
