SENHIR y HI T HY Many years ago, or was it only twelve, the people of St Marys who might have been on the streets that September morning had their first glimpse of the Class of 1951 Perhaps no reference was made to it as a Class but rather another group of youngsters, smaller homelier, and requrunga little more effort to get them into school In any event the Class began its trammg Grade school is usually the same for all but we were entermg into an era unknown to our country air ralds, drills, the possibility of our land being mvaded then flnally, war itself both in Europe and the Far East We were taught the f ull meaning of Freedom and Democracy we had an opportunity to see and learn that sacrifice must be a part of our daily life We were too young to participate in the war, but 1ts lessons w1ll be remembered for all time The Class began to take clearer shape as we reached the higher grades the addition of the Kaulmont students made us a little larger and a little stronger The .Tumor High School was finally conquered, and with the presentation of our Class Play Come to the Cir cus , we were ready for our High School trammg Our first true glimpse of the Class of 1951 came with our Freshman year and mclud ed the students who Joined our group from the Consolidated School We were now ready to equal the records of those before us We had our first organized class meeting and discuss ed plans for om' Halloween Dance In our Sophomore year that previous experience helped us tr1umph with our Christmas Dance And what a dance our Snow Ball was! A wonderful band, superb decorations, the right guy or gal, and new formals all added to our huge success Service by the Sopho more girls and ushers was unusually efficient and stylish Havmg become upperclassmen, we felt anything could happen and lt didl In the nine short months that followed we ordered and received our class rlngs, threw class parties, and looked forward to the next year when we would become superior seniors We even had the most spectacular prom in years QRemember all the colored crepe paper we cut and all the staples we used and all the ladders we pushed and cl1mbed?l On the last day of our .Tumor year we realized the goal we had set for ourselves had been reached when we saw the 12th grade on our registration cards Entering into our Semor year we were filled with enthusiasm We plcked our class colors, kelly green and gray, and sent for our sweaters and hats After waging a success ful magazme sales campaign, we produced that colossal production, The Inner Willy , and an uproarxous Mmstrel Show We then went to Washmgton where we took a short but wonder ful vacation CRemember the sore feet, the deafened ears at the F B I , the rush of hotel registration, and the late part1es?J Some of the high lights of our trip were the mght club dancing, the thrill of Mt Vernon, Wash1ngton's tomb the unknown soldier s resting place, and the meeting of new friends from other schools and states After graduation and the ensuing parade, we went to our banquet where the numerous illustrious guests congratulated us and wished us well We chmaxed our high school career with the most glamorous prom ever held for the S M H semors Our high school career could be summed up in the words of Julius Caesar We came, we saw, we conquered .
