We mode our first landing for the Freshmen Get Acauainted Party, which the sophomore class held for us, Our next stopover was the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, where we visited Fels Planetarium and heard an informative lecture and a demonstration on nuclear fission. On Memorial Day Betty Trautman and James Myers received the American Legion Award for their lead- ership, character, and outstanding scholastic abilities. ln June our stratocruiser landed for refueling and repairing of parts. Even before we boarded the ship for our second trip, some of the fellows in the class were conditioning themselves at football camp. This preliminary train- ing program was initiated by the Booster Club. With our stratocruiser in Afl condition, we took off for the annual Freshmen-Sophomore Get Acauainted Party. During this year our class organized and elected the guiding crew for the rest of our flight: Miss Anna Neamand, class adviserg James Smith, presidentg Betty Trautman vice president Catherine Hausman secretary and Wilma Hartmann treasurer The most colorful protect of the year was the Band Uniform Fund which Home Room 39 started There was much enthusiasm in the student body about this un ertaking FFA to was in the high spirits aoout a project of its own its farm show display won a place at the Pennsylvania State Fair ln September our class adviser and officers climbed into the cockpit to pilot us through the iunior year We looked down and observed that the entire area in the rear of the high school building had been macadamized backboards had been erected and courts had been lined Soon we hit a rough air pocket when we lost the football campaign by thirteen dollars Appearing o the horizon for the first time this year was the Future Homemakers of America which sent Esther Bartz and Doris Wagner to a State Home cconomics Convention at York Pennsylvania On the athletic field a time clock provided for by one of the previous graduating classes and erected by the vocational boys stood out as a marked improvement This years hockey squad considered Coach Affler mach s best ended the season as co champions with Doylestown To fill our four houses for their play Life of the Party the members of the class worked hard The cast under Mrs James Ebberts direction did a solendid iob making the super sales talks come true A big event for the vo ational agriculture boys was the l-FA trip to Kansas City Willard Docktor Robert Leight Henry Thomer and Norman Tyson accompanied by Mr Joseph Freeh went by auto and gained not only agricultural information but also a deeper appre tation of our country Another trip this Year was the Girls and Boys Glee Club tour to Souderton and Ambler The National Honor So iety worked hard ard pur chased a cotton bunting s hool flag for use at foot ball games Featuring the Recall theme our iunior prom proved to be a great success A covered wagon and cleverly constructed block houses provided authentic atmos phere for the forty niners Katherine Weber class of 49 was crowned pram queen and Lyda Rodgers Juanita Shutters Mary Fischer Catherine Hausman Lorraine Wisler and Mary Jane Kidney were her six junior attendarts ln the senior year we were flying high and rightly so for we war the most sought after campaign me one which gave us the football concession r I 1 ' I , V d . . . ., o , 1 I r . n . . . . , . , , . 4 i , I , r . .
