he Chicahonicm 7942 SENIUIQ CLASS HISTDIQY Four years ago a group of excited Freshmen entered the open door to education. Before them stood the high ladder-a ladder to success and happiness. Education was their goal and they could not be stopped. Now we are on the very top, ready to step into a complex world. Some of us may climb higher ladders to educa- tion, others may succeed in gaining success and recognition through their work and good deeds, while still others may settle down to live in our own community. But no matter what we shall do, our aim is to set examples for others. As we started on our hard climb, the way seemed long and dark, but gradually as the months slipped by, we began to see the light. Our forty-four members, with the able assist- ance of Miss McSeveney, gradually became a part of the school which we all loved. As a result of our accomplishments and splendid co- operation for the year, we were rewarded by a trip to Harrisburg-an occasion we shall never forget. Soon we were Sophomores. Indeed we were climbing the ladder fast. One of our main achievements of the year was to elect our class oHicers. Now we had only thirty-four mem- bers. Ten departed and went in other direc- tions. Again we were supervised by our former advisor, Miss McSeveney. Soon the year was over and we had made more headway to our goal. As we started to climb during our Junior year, all eyes were turned upward. In such a very short time we would follow in the foot- steps of our Senior friends. Again we were under the able direction of Miss McSeveney. Now our main interest was to raise money for our Senior trip. First, we elected our oflicers, chose our motto, class colors, and the class flower. Then we were ready for an important but hard climb., Because we lost five more members, the climb was more difficult, but we could not be stopped. We would achieve our goal. In November we received our class rings patterned after those of the Seniors. This was the second year we had the standard ring. We began to pay class dues. Of course, that wasn't enough for the trip so we presented the mystery comedy Hobgoblin House. Many of the 1 members of our class had leading roles in the operetta Miss Cherryblossomf' Several of our boys were on the basketball team, and the rest of us had our share in cheering them on to victory. We were very busy, but we still had time to sponsor, a Junior dance, the annual school picnic, and to sell ice cream, candy, and pop during the last month of school. Then on May S we completed our year's activities by being hosts to the Seniors at the annual Junior- Senior Banquet held at the Fort Bedford Inn in Bedford. At last we have reached our goal. We are Seniors! We started the year out with a bang by electing our ofhcers from the class of twenty-eight members. Don Spangler heads the list as President, Leroy Yutzey, Vice Presi- dent, Betty Lambert, Secretary, and Geneva Frazier, Treasurer. The oliicers, as we all know, have an important part in guiding the destinies of the classg and indeed, they have performed their task faithfully. Without the ellicient supervision of Mr. Emerick, our class advisor, we certainly could not have accom- plished as much as we have. Our next important problem was selecting a competent staff to publish the annual Chic- ahonian. These members were chosen by a faculty committee and later approved by the class. The work began. Pictures were taken, and articles came pouring in to the editor from all directions. Trips were made for advertising, and write ups and copy material were assembled. We are planning to give the school a fare- well gift, Basketball Bankboards and Ventila- tion Fans for the locker rooms. As a farewell trip, we hope to go to Washington, D. C. However, there may have to be changes made in our plans due to the present conditions. But still we are grasping for our goal and we shall reach it. Although we must leave this summit of Utopia, we feel that we have reached our goal in that we have gained truth, education, and loyalty to our Alma Mater-good old Stony- creek. We must leave now, but we shall al- ways look back over these last four years with happy thoughts of the achievements we shared.
