l REMEMBERI G: OUR CLASS HI TORY just as each stair climbed is a step nearer the top so has each year of school activity been a step nearer to our first goal of life. . Our strange and fabulous history dates back to September, 1936, when our mothers scrubbed our necks and ears and sent us to school toward our first step of achievement. lt was then that these ten members of our present class started their upward climb at Speedway: Marcheta Collins, .lanice Farley, Katie Heaton, Jean Lesman, Ethyl King, Pat Ludwig, Sara Parke, John Petraits, Al Such, and George Ziegelmueller. XV e were soon up to our necks in readini, 'writin', and 'rithmetic and be- fore we could realize it, we were ready to venture forth into the high school building. Under the guidance of Miss Hepperly we as seventh graders elected Delores Coelman our pres- ident. VVe survived our initiation into junior high by the eighth graders and ended our school year with a party at Riverside. Thus we had completed another step toward our then distant goal. The following year we elected Dick Musgrave as our presiding ofihcer and chose Miss Spencer as our ever capable sponsor. The highlight of the year occurred when we received our eighth gl ade diplomas and realized we were ready to enter the realms of the Upper Four. The fall of 44 found us starting our climb to become upper-classmen. Bob Ge ung was our president with Jim Crumley serving as his able assistant, Earl Gresham keeping ther minutes and Jean Lesman handling the money. VVe chose Miss Couch as our sponsor. Our class gained more honors as o-Anne Base ' and Katie Heaton were elected ell leaders and fellows of our class were 3 Y h members of the football and basketball teams. Wie held a Christmas party at the American Legion Hall and ended the 'ear with a artv at Riverside Park. 3 P . XVith our Freshman year behind us the pace quickened and we as Sophomores climbed toward our not now so distant goal. Again Bob Genung served as our president, Nancy Covell was our vice president, Jim Crumley our secretary. and Jack Ganzemiller collected the dues. This year Miss Bland was elected as our sponsor. Jim Crumley and Bill Roberts gained positions on the Varsity Basket- ball Squad to give us another feather in our cap. VVe ended the year with a skating party at a famil- iar place, Riverside. To start our Junior year off with a bang, we presented our hilarious play, Professor, How Could You! VV e followed up our stage production with the Autumn Prom and later in the year the fellows in athletics elected Nancy Covell to reign as queen at the annual F.B.T. Dance. lVith the end of our junior year in sight, plans fo-r the reception moved rapidly forward. VVe chose the Marott Hotel fo-r the Junior-Senior Reception and picked Bob Barton and his orchestra to furnish the music. As our leaders for this most busy year we chose M r. Trosky as sponsor, with Jack Ganzemiller as president, Duane Belcher his assistant, George Ziegelmueller keeping the records and Jean Lesman our treasurer. For this, our last and most important year in high school, we have chosen George Ziegelmueller to lead us with Jack Ganzemiller as our vice president, John Petraits to keep the minutes and Dick Harbison to handle the financial affairs. Mr. T1-oth acted as our advisor with Mr. Jordan as co-spon- sor. W'e are proud to know that our fellows had a hand in the winning of two County Champion- ships, and the sectionals for the first time in the history of the school, and the Football Mid-State Conference Cup. XYe look back now with satisfaction to our dance. play, annual, and SPEEDETTE. For a grand conclusion to our activities in high school the Juniors entertained us at the annual junior-Senior Reception. And now, as we look around and see the familiar faces of our school 'chums and ifamiliar sur- roundings, we have a feeling of regret in leaving old S.H.S. because there will be many happy memories left behind. Yet as one would glimpse the first rays of a beautiful sunrise coming over the horizon, thus we, the class of 48, get a glimpse of the future that lies ahead. T 4 i. .
