CLASS HISTORY I was in Stroudsburg the other day and happened to see some old class- mates of mine. As it usually happens when old friends get together, we began reminiscing. Remember our first year at Stroudsburg High? The new faces we saw and new friends we made? Jack Osborn was chosen to 'lead us on our way. VVe participated in much Red Cross work that year-our country was still at war. ' Then remember when we were sophs--our fear of the seniors at initiation and the outfits we were compelled to wear? We lived through it and realized that our turn would come. Under Jean Merring's leadership, we sponsored the Pigskin Prom, the dance in honor of the football team. The class party was another of our affairs. Then came our junior year-when our worries began. Of course we decided to have a year book, and the job of raising money began. First we presented a play, A Date XN'ith Judyf' Why, for months afterward Betty Lou and Charlie were called Judy and Oogie by those who had seen the play! Our big social event was, naturally, the Junior Prom, which was held in the Penn-Stroud Ballroom. Under Jack Darr, we had a successful year. Remember that Final year in the halls of S. H. S? Selection of colleges began, and we spent free time pouring over college catalogs. VVe used our stored up energy on the sophs and put Ali Baba's forty sophs through their paces. Such fun! Our play, Inner VVilly,', was next. And then our Christ- mas Dance, also held at the Penn-Stroud. 1948 being Leap Year, we spon- sored a dance-but this time the girls paid the bills! Then came the toil and search for new ideas for our annual. And before we knew it, exams and graduation-remember? Were there ever such happy years? The 1948 Pioneer
