{ 244 (H R ]•'RHSHMEN YEAR On September 5, 1944 we entered Saxton Liberty, a new crop of Freshmen roaming distractedly in the halls. As the first six weeks ended, however, we were well adapted to the rules and regulations as all greenies should be, very respectful to the upper classmen. As the weeks flew by we heard that the t pical high school class usually has officers, so we held up the tradition by electing Bob Shark. President, George Wambaugh, Vice President. Fern Dixon. Secretary, and Eddie Dixon. Treasurer. We owe a great part of the success of our Freshmen year to the wise guidance of our class advisers; Reverend Gunder. Miss Doyle, Mrs. Hooper, and Mrs. Greenawalt. The May Day Coronation was the climax of the Freshman participation in the school activities. The attendants from our class were Connie Hopkins and Fern Dixon. Our reputation as greenies ended on the last day of the term in ’45, along with a hilarious outing at Happy Hollow. It was planned as private, “For Freshmen Only,” nevertheless several male seniors sneaked in on us, but we did not let it hinder our good time. So ended our first year in Saxton Liberty High School. SOPHOMORE YEAR ’Twas a sunny morning, September 3rd. when thirty fold and six of us scampered proudly and confidently through the familiar halls of old S. L. We knew our way around this time and flippantly assured uncertain freshmen that they’d get “the hang of it” before long. We immediately elected class officers in which Bob Shark, George ambaugh. and Fern Dixon did a repeat performance of being elected President. Vice Presi- dent, and Secretary, respectively. Don Meek served as Treasurer. Miss Hoover. Mrs. Hooper, and Miss Fluke served us devotedly as class advisers. Early in the basketball season we decided on a Sophomore hat sale. Not only did we add money to our treasury, but we adorned our heads with fantastic imitations of style. The sophomore cooperation in the play “Janie” was highly appreciated bv the upperclassmen. The income from this play greatly benefited the 1946 Block. Through artisted planning and preparing, a successful Neptune party went down in history as an accomplishment of the Sophomore class. We celebrated the opening of spring bv a one act play presented in assembly on an imaginative teen-age flivver on a picnic with “Mother Nature.” The cast included; George Wambaugh. Ruth Ross. Bob Shark. Bettv Belle Stapleton. Carol Simon, and Dick Burke. An all dav festival was in swing Mav 3rd. start- ing a talented track meet in the morning. The afternoon sun shone on the Queen of May, Josephine Ross. Dotty Baker and Maxine Fleegle were our class attendants. With a little trouble with Miss McCahan concerning our historv test and putting a few finishing touches to our other tests, we were readv to call it quits for our splendid Sophomore year and were anxious to plan a pleasant summer vacation. JUNIOR YEAR Coming back for our Junior year at sixtv strong we were very capable of assuming the title of “Dignified Juniors”. We started off “hippety clip” by
