E IOR CLASS HITORY It was September of 1950 when twenty-nine students entered the homeroom of Mr. Kelly. At last they were beginning the long climb to the cherished position of Seniors. These twenty-nine freshmen chose the fdDowing students as their leaders: Marcia Nolan, President, David Hewes, Vice President, Gail Thornton, Secretary, and Pat Nelson, Trea- surer. The freshmen seats at Student Council were occupied by Ruth Nolan and Roy Lawrence. The first money they made as a down bayment on the Senior trip was earned by selling magazine subscriptions forime Moravia Republican. Thus, their Freshmen year turned out to be very successful. They received five dollars for their fine performance of the play, Egg Highgayman at thebophomore Fair. The Sophomore class was decreased to twenty-three students. Barb- ara Woods, President, Gail Thornton, Vice President, Marilyn Welch, Secretary, and Ruth Becker, Treasurer, were the officers elected by the Oophomores. Kerwick Halicy and Joy Gillis were the representa- tives in Student Council. Mr. Kelly again proved to be an able guide for these students who were now one more step closer to being Seniors. The class colors that were chosen were blue and silver and the flower was the Carnation. I Instead of having the usual Sophomore Fair, the sophomores had a dance with music by the C Bar D Swingbillies. The most exciting day of all during this year was the day they received their Class rings. So ended the Sophomore year. Mrs. Losurdo had charge of the Juniors. There were only eighteen in the class now. This surely would prove to be one of the most ex- citing of all. In order to earn more money toward the Senior trip, the Juniors sold stationary and also Tiny Tims. The Tiny Tims were stuffed dogs made with school colors. They became the cheerleaders' mascots. The Juniors together with the Seniors presented two plays this year, The Bishosfs Mantle and The State Fair., December 22 was the date for Wwinter 'onderlandn which was the Junior Dance. Paul Rowe and the suintones provided the music. The biggest and most exciting affair of this year was the Junior Prom. Marcia Nolan was chosen queen and her escort, Donnie Kratzer was king. The class officers for this year were: President, Barbara Kellogg, Vice President, Bea Campbell, Secretary, Pat Nelson, and Treasurer, Gail Thornton. Student Council Representatives, Ruth Becker and John Prego. The third step toward becoming dignified Seniors was completed. 1 ' At last, the top was reached. The last step had been taken. Our freshmen had become Seniors. They were twenty-three in number, and the following were chdsen as class officers, Gail Thornton, President, Marie Radcliffe, Vice President, Ruth Nolan, Secretary, and Paul Sim- kin, Treasurer. Bobby Chase and Pat Nelson were Student Pouncil re- presentatives. Marcia Nolan held the office of President of Student Council while John Prego was Chief-of-Police, Barb Kellogg was Fire Warden, and Bea Campbell was Treasurer. Nr. Kelly was ondaagain class advisor. In order to earn money for their senior trip, they sold.Christmas cards. They also had a concession stand at all the home games. At last notice they were also planning a couple of other activities. In addition to all this, the seniors helped to produce two plays. The senior trip would be the big thing this year. The date they were to leave for New York was set for April 16th. Graduation! It has been four wonderful years for these students. I'm sure the seniors will agree that they were four of the best years of their lives. I'm also sure that I speak for everyone when I say HSeniors--Congratulations, and the best of luck in the futurein ' 12
