Four years ago when we were Freshmen, do you remember how bashful and shy Dusty Rhoads was? I-le ran around all day with his jacket on 'cause he was afraid to take it off. My! how that boy's changed! Jim Keelan started playing top varsity football that year and kept right on going all through his next tour years. Our Sophomore year brought out more of our talents, which we used to the advantage of everyone at our first high school dance, Static Stumblef' It went through the usual run of radio programs for the day with our own improve- ments. That year, too, we held a Christmas party at Joan Naylor's home. There was music and all the food you wanted, and above all, loads of fun. Well, another year passed and we found ourselves Juniors. We took a trip to Pittsburgh, and everyone, including Miss Luebbe and Mr. Snowden, had a fine time. Early in the morning, we went to the Carnegie Museum and unearthed more stuff than we ever knew existed. We saw the stage play Dear Ruth in the afternoon and then went to the Buhl Planetarium in the evening. Our annual dance that year was entitled Cactus Jump. It had an Old Wild West theme. In the spring, we held a dinner and dance for the Seniors at Green Gables. The evening was successful,.even though a bit touching. In our Senior year we had two dances, a Christmas dance, with music by Bob Hislop and his orchestra, and the Totem Pole Tumble , a gym-iam following the Bedford game. Sports played a rnaior part in the lives of most of the Seniors. Many of the girls were in G. A. A. On the football team were Fritz Muncert, quarterback, Bill McGoldrick, tackle, Bob Gallucci, center, and Jim Keelan, halfback. Slim Dusty Rhoads brilliantly filled one of the forward spots on the basketball squad while Fritz Muncert again proved his worth as center on the team. Bill McGoldrick, as president, kept the wheels running in the right direction. And so came graduation, ioyful, yet sad because it brought to a close our happy high school years.
