Oakland Class History To save time and space we shallmake the history of our activities during the last five years at Oakland most brief. In 1949, we entered eighth grade with ZZ members. We elected Naomi Medlar, Presidentg Donald Williams, Vice- Presidentg Dolores Demer, Secretaryg and Gerald Parks, Treasurer. These same officers have served us faithfully for the last five years. That and the tests which enabled us to go into high school are our two memories. During our Freshman year our number was reduced to 18. The only thought and it is not a happy one, is that of the hazing we endured at the hands of the upper classmen. We tried to be good sports, and then came our chance--we were Soph- omores. We inflicted equal punishment on the next class. That year we were no longer Clean Up Committee after parties and we really embarked on our high school career. When we counted noses in our junior year, we were 15 in number, now we really were upper classmen. We went to Rocky Glen and had a grand time, even allowed some Sophomores to share the fun. Now, even with all our homework, we found time to entertain the Seniors. Then in September, 1953, we, ourselves, were Seniors. Now we look back instead of ahead! However, we have taken full advantage of our exalted state, and have thoroughly enjoyed our classes Qthose we can't skipj, the yearbook, the parties, the games, and we are now awaiting graduation. --Peg Cowperthwait --Naomi Medlar Susquehanna Class History It is with skepticism and awe that we the Senior Class of 1954 look back with thoughtful wonder at the last four exciting years at good old Suski High. As Freshmen we felt pretty nice to be included in high school--even if we were the lowest class. We didn't exactly rock the world in our Freshmen year, but it turned out to be a pretty wonderful year. Our junior year was nine months full of dances, laughter, and popcorn. We really made a profit on the sale of popcorn, and as far as our dances went, we didn't realize we had a Milton Berle, Dean Martin, or jerry Lewis in our class. Our most outstanding feat as juniors was our junior Prom, the theme of which was A French Bal1room, and all our classmates pitched in. Seniors at last! As we look back with mixed emotions, we feel that perhaps we have not done all that we could have done in the last four years. But, these are only fond memories now. We look forward to graduation with great hope for the future, as the doors of Suski High gently close behind us. --jane Hanrahan
