Glass Gdfistory In September 1938,T. T. H. S. welcomed within its stately portals a new group of first graders. They were all starched, combed and scrubbed and their faces shone with the enthusiasm of beginners. The style for little girls was short, straight hair. The boys' faces were filled with mischief while the bashful girls waited for pencils and papers to be handed out by Miss Miller, the first grade teacher. Within this first grade class was the foundation for the class of 1950: Charles Dyson, Ronald Keiper, Charles Costanzo, Charles Gardner, Robert Hawk, Alfred Hayes, John Majer, James Jaskalka, Abdoo Fodel, Donald Judge, Edward Lewis, James Smith, Keith Stout, Floyd Van Horn, Worthy Yale, Erma Argot, Viola Argot, Regina Berger, Margaret Christie, Lorraine Deppner, Rachel Dunlap, Ruth Elwine, Eudora Keiper, Mary Jane Felker, and Gloria Keiper. September 1939, dawned bright and sunny. Now in second grade we liked school a little better. Books were fascinating but we weren't too anxious to study yet. Two new members joined our class this year. Theodore Binkley and Kenneth Weirich. Our class was separated into two sections. Miss Bonser taught one section and Miss Miller the other. September 1940 finds us in third grade. This year our class was united and we were very happy to be together again. Here we were joined by four new pupils. Homer Argot, Norman Keiper, Paul Smith and Irene Franks. Miss Bonser was our teacher. September 1941 brings us back to school and supplies us with two new pupils, Donald Keiper and Donald Moyer. Our new teacher is Miss Berger, and now in fourth grade we feel very grown up. September 1942, and we are one year older and one grade ahead. Once again our class is divided into two sections. No new students joined our class this year. ln September 1943, a new teacher, Mrs. Melucci greeted us when we returned to T. T. S. Homer Henning, Lawrence Staples, and Dick Miller joined our class during this, our sixth year of school life. ln September 1944, we had an entirely new experience when we entered the high school as seventh graders. We joined 13 new students. The changing of classes puzzled us at first. We thought it was a lot of fun but the novelty soon wore off as we progressed through the year. The new students who came from Lond Pond were: Shirley Kuhen- beaker, Jacklyn Meckes, Luella Moyer, Betty Jane Kuhenbeaker, Francis Altemose, Harold Altemose, Dewey Meckes, Alvin Smith, Earl Smith. Others were: Faithe Dyson, Arthur Dan- illa, Carl Henning, James Martin. Our teacher was Miss Stoner for both 7th and 8th. ln September 1945 we returned to school as eighth graders. Vera Wilson, Alvin Deubler, Harry Eggert, Robert Keiper and Carl Selig joined our ranks. During the year we wrote an essay on Brotherhood Eudora Keiper won second prize. Betty Jane Kuhenbeaker won the American Legion Essay Award for eighth grade girls. The citizenship awards for the boy and girl were won by Edward Lewis and Eudora Keiper. In September 1946, Mr. Heller returned from service and was our home room teacher. William Bempkins, Leon Blakeslee, Albert Hudack, John Hudack, Milton Hunter, Raymond Shaffer and Clara Chopack joined our class from Bear Creek. Others who joined were Stanley Kuplinski and Jean Hostetter. ln September and March the girls entered clothes and foods in the Wyckoff exhibits. Jean Hostetter won the ninth grade citizenship award. This year, ninth grade, we started to count our subject credits and think about commencement. Latin was something new and different for us and most of us liked it. In September 1947, twenty-one of us returned to tenth grade. No new students joined our class. Geometry was the subject that gave us trouble and although a few of the boys tried to get out of it by skipping classes and the girls by talking to our principal, we took it anyway and most of us passed. Our boys were very much interested in baseball and basketball. ln September 1948, Larry Dutter joined us. He came from California. We were all thrilled to be in our first play-our Junior Play. The name of it was A Wood Violet. Our home room teacher, Miss Finnerty coached us. ln January most of the girls went to the state farm show in Harrisburg. A few of us entered the County Forensic Contests. We sold candy, soda and hot dogs at basketball games to raise money. ln September 1949, at last, after a twelve year wait, we returned to school as Seniors, all looking forward to our trip to Washington. To earn money for this trip, we sold cards and wrapping paper, also chances, and presented our senior play, Faithe, Hope and Flarity. We were all very proud when we won the basketball championship. Finally, after a long hard struggle, we had our trip to Washington and now we are looking for- ward to the event that will concluded the history of the class of 1950-our commencement.
