C ass History was largely due to the fact that we expected to spend our Senior year rest- ing on our laurels, but, with a little help from our teachers we decided we had better do some work. Still, somewhere between history and mathe- matics we found time to purchase our school hats and pennants, and when they were received, we proudly showed them off to our envious under- classmen. We managed a public turkey supper, had a bake sale and arranged a skating party for the entire high school thus making this another year of prosperity. We ordered our invitations, were measured for our gowns and finished our commencement activities. President .......................... .... R ichard Rown Vice President .... ....... J ack Dean Secretary ............................................ Betty McNitt Treasurer .......................................... Evelyn Narehood On May 26th most of us found a disturbing lump in our throats as we said thank you for the diploma that would have to take the place of our nigh school days from now on. More than one tear was shed as we said good-by to classmates, who would find their futures in a place far from ours. And so as another class of high school students we went out to find what was our destiny. We asked for little except assistence from you who already have found your place, for surely we can never do without your help and advice. The long awaited day came at last! On September 3, 1943, thirty- seven frightened but ambitious Freshmen entered the famous portals of our Alma Mater anticipating the work and fun of four happy years to come. The re-adjustment to high school life came easy to us and we soon had our class organized and the following officers were elected: President .......................................... William Zeigler Vice President ........ Helen Young Secretary .......................................... Merriam Knisley Treasurer ...,................................. Louise Bumgardner The memories of this happy year extended on into our Sophomore year when many more events were added to the list. The most important one being the selecting and receiving of our class rings. The only changes in officers were: Gilbert Knepp, Secretary and Evelyn Narehood, Treasurer. We went back to school in our Junior year looking forward to the events that were to fill our school life for the next two years. This was the year that we had to begin to work for the money that would provide the expenses for our trip to New York. We sold candy at the afternoon movies throughout the year and held a successful card party on April 21, 1946. With the very much appreciated help of our parents, we sponsored the annual Junior Festival on June 21 and 22 which went over with tremendous success. This ended the activi- ties of our Junior year. President ............. ...... D oris Coulter, succeeded by Richard Rown Vice President .......................... David Griffith Secretary ............................................ Betty McNitt Treasurer ........................................ Evelyn Narehood Then came September 3, 1946, and we, the seniors of Reedsville High School, started on the last lap of our long journey from childhood to man- hood and womanhood. We soon found that the Senior year was no easier than any other, in fact we might say it was a little harder. This Twenty-two
