?95t In the high school, all was dark and quiet except for the continuous ticking of the clock in the office. The busy hum of school life was hushed, and the bright (?) faces of the stu- dents and faculty had vanished. Suddenly a strange sight appeared. Into the library came troops, in groups, in pairs, or singly, a class of books--books that were battered and torn, books rebound, books with not a show of wear, and heavy, clumsy ones that contained a fund of knowledge. Presently, closing the door behind her, came a book that reminded one of Mrs. Kitt but proved to be an English literature. She took her place at the desk and called the roll for the preparation of a theme which was to be handed in at the end of that period. It was a hard theme, for the topic which was given was The History of the Class of 1951 During its Four Years at Sheridan High. The first book called on was First Year Algebra. Gathering the tattered covers about her, she stood up and began to speak in low, melodious tones that reminded one of Mary Lou Marsh. Of the original class that had entered the first grade in 1939. only these were left when the class of 1951 entered high school in the fall of 1947: Louise Johnson, Paul Moore, Fred Braach, Garry Lee Preston, Bill Steiner, Lee Spuhler, and Mary Lou Marsh. In the eyes of the seniors, this class looked green, but in their own estimation, it was the best class in the whole school. This class, consisting of the present personnel except Mary Jane Eby and Ernie Bock, organized under the supervision of Mr, Thomas, and elected the following of- ficers: president, Lee Spuhler; vice president, Bob Sprague; secretary-treasurer, Mary Lou Marsh; class representative, Bill Steiner. Only one member was lost during the year, Joanne Reeves. This class was initiated in the ordinary fashion. Everyone will remember Lee as Cupid, Phyllis as a cowboy, Helen as a negro mammy , The freshmen return party was also given in honor of the sophomore class. One of the main achievements and first ventures of the class during this year was the production of a play, For the Glory of St. Patrick,' in an assembly before the high school. The freshman history wouldn’t be complete without the mention of a poem that is des- tined to have its place in the hall of (?)......titled One Day in May, and written by Garry Lee Preston. At the back of the room was quite a distrubance. A book of Fred's had produced the last thing in slang, and one of Joanne’s was giggling over it, for all the world like Joanne her- self. Having called attention to himself, Fred was next asked to read his theme. First ex- plaining that his literary talents had inspired him to write in rhyme, he read: They organized as Sophomores, Most all the classes do; Lee Spuhler was the president. He made a good one, too. Vice president was Mary Jane, Bonnie, treasurer, Bob Sprague represented us. In all that did occur. 9
