CLASS HISTORY Have you ever started on a trip, alone for the first time? If you have, perhaps you know what the Freshmen of 1945 felt like when they came into the elite class of high school students. During our Freshman year, everything went along without a break in- the monot- ony. We were underclassmen and were therefore just not taken seriously. We all stood in awe of the uppperclassmen and were careful not to offend, even though we were joked and kidded a lot. Our Freshman year drew to a close with nothing more exciting than the prospect of being an honored Sophomore next term. The Sophomore year was an entirely dif- ferent type of journey. We were a happy- go-lucky group, not afraid of the upper- classmen and socially acceptable. During the year we had a very successful Hallow- een party at Sarah Cushing's home. After a skating party, our year as Soph- cmores came to an end. Now we come to the honored year as Juniors. We were really the upperclassmen now and enjoyed all the privileges award- ed them. As the new term opened, we were greet- ed with several new members to our Junior class. There were four from Licking Town- ship and one from Venango County. The four from Licking Township were: Thelma McHenry, Thelma Kohler, Robert Ray- buck, and Bill Neely, while the one from Venango was Laura Lutsko. We had several successful ventures in the social world. Among these were the soup sale, skating party, bake sale. and sale of greeting cards. Of course, the crowning glory of our Junior year was the Junior-Senior banquet and prom. Days of planning and work went into the arrange- ments and decorations for the banquet. We were all nervous and afraid that something would go wrong, but everything came along splendidly. We all enjoyed our part of the work of presenting the banquet and prom to the Seniors in their honor. This was the closing event of our Junior year. We are Seniors now. All the joys and sorrows are ours. We are now nearing the end of our schooling and must undergo in- tensive training so that when we must face life on our own we will be ready for it and can make our own way easily. Our year as Seniors started off with a bang. We planned for a Kitchen Kabinet Orchestra and were able to engage them for the 12th of November. All during the year we have worked very hard at our lessons and have come out on top, with two valedictorians and a saluta- torian. One of the highlights was the Junior- Senior banquet presented to us by the Jun- iors on May 19. It was a social success and each Senior contributed his bit of chatter for the entertainment. We Seniors always were original, so af- ter our Hnal exams we planned a Pitts- burgh Excursion, which culminated as a very educational and recreational success. 'Ihe Baccalaureate services were held on May 29, 1949, and the crowning glory of our life came on June 1, 1949, when we re- ceived our diplomas and were set on our own feet to either make a success or a failure of our lives. Each of us hopes for success, and I am sure your best wishes go with us. -6-
