I . A . F CLASS HISTORY The usual noise and confusion of the first day of sch ol prevailed that day, Sept- ember 4, 1945. The usual first day worry about schedules provided the main topic of con- versation. Engulfed in that tumult was the freshman class, our, class. This was the first year that we had to worry about schedules. Finally, all the difficulties and con- flicts were ironed out. Desks were chosen lsome were not our choice but lr. Kehl'sJ. lr. Kehl, our home room teacher was almost driven mad with several of our exploits and conquests. At other times, we were almost driven insane with lr. Keh1's pecking away on his portable typewriter. , A few of our class received initiation that year Knot that we cared if we d1dn't get it . For the first time in our life we chose a candidate for the athletic carnival queen. We sold many tickets and finally won the contest. The night of the carnival our queen, Beatrice Appleman, was crowned. Never before had there been a prouder class. The end of the year came and we registered for the coming year. The last day of school we left for home to spend a pleasant summer. ' After a relaxing vacation we started our Sophomore year September 3, 1946. We had a new teacher, liss lable Hershey. This year it was our turn to do the initiating, We de- vised a new method of initiation. The freshman looked odd in their garb that day. The day culminated in a party for the freshmen that night. This year we again won the ticket selling contest for the athletic carnival. This year our queen, Norma Bruce, took the throne. Waiters and waitresses for the Junior-Senior Banquet were chosen. Those chosen felt honored, indeed. Our assembly with the theme NEntrance to Heavenu, won the gavel this year. We Sophomores applauded as loudly as possible when Jack Wheaton as president accepted the gavel. After registration and award day had come to a close, we once again went our ways for the summer. September 2, 1947 we were Juniors. We were full of enthusiasm for the coming year with Miss Hershey as our sponsor again. However, she d1dn't remain lisa Hershey very long. During the season she became Mrs. Leo Lemon. Our class play HJust Duckyn, was well produced and was enjoyed very m ch. The re- hearsals provided much fun for the cast. After much indecision we chose green and gold as our class colors and the American Beauty Rose as our flower. Then we selected Nloonlight and Rosesn as the theme for the Junior-Senior Banquet. After much work decorating the auditorium we produced a very beautiful scene. Soon the time came again for summer vacation. September 7, 1948 school started again. This was to be 931 year. Our last year of high school and we resolved to have a good time. Irs. Leo Lemon was our class sponsor again. The Seniors of '49 had a busy year. After many consultations we finally started our Senior candy stand. After this we had our pictures taken. One day our proofs came. What an unveiling we had! At last the finished pictures arrived. How popular the Seniors were after that episode. We chose our class play, had try-outs, and then began rehearsals. December 9, the cast of HI'm in the Army Nowu, presented a hilarious even1ng's entertainment to a most appreciative audience. We served the banquet for the Lion's Club in December and in January we served the Business Hen's supper. In order to earn money we sold Christmas cards, napkins, pens, and pen-pencil sets, We profited quite a bit on these projects. One day we ordered namecards and invitations. Everyone was excited the day they came. Plans were made for our Senior trip to Washington D.C. Each one of us thought he would like to go to New York City, too. Therefore everyone of us put forth more effort to earn more money. A Grand banquet was presented to us by the Juniors this Spring. Not long after this we attended the alumni banquet for the first time. Commencement and Baccalaureate came. We donned our caps and gowns. Solemn-faced Seniors marched down the aisle to receive their diplomas. May 30 we started early in the morning on our trip. No Senior Class ever had a better time or enjoyed the trip more than we did. Then we each went our own way, sad because we knew our paths would not cross often again.
