mago 1949 Cfadd .jvhafory The time has come for the class of '49 to review our memories of our school days. The first six years of school passed quickly, and then came the memorable day when we climbed the stairs to high school for the first time. We found our homeroom teacher was to be Miss DeTurk whom we had for our stay in junior high. We began seventh grade with twenty-nine members on our class roll. During the coming years our class membership dropped to the present fifteen. Our first task was to elect class officers which was a new experience for all. Harold Fleisher became President, Dawn Lambert, Vice President, Joan Weidman, Secretary. Our first social event was a class party held in the high school gym on March 31, 1944. We opened our eighth grade term with the usual election of officers. They were President, Ray Miller, Vice President, James Kramer, Secretary, Ardelle Potteiger. Our social event for the year was a doggie roast held at Egelman's Park Eff September 22, 194-4-. As freshmen many new things confronted us. Our first main task was election of officers.
