CLA!! HISTORY Gfirl shy, our Freshmen boys??? not by a long shot. Well, maybe a little at our first' party when the girls, and what martyrs they were, all but dragged us out on the dance floor only to have their delicate toes flattened 'out as the result of their labors. We thought we were hopeless cases but the second party we showed considerable progress. Oiur f'irst opportunity to exhibit our acting ability was in the present- ation of Ask the Professor. The leading roles were played by Mel Ray, Doc Shane, William Camp and Howard Houth. This boosted our pride somewhat, since it had been trampled on by our defeat in ALL the Intra- mural Basketba.ll Games. Our two lovely Freshman aittendents, Mary Rose Turchan and Joann P6ClllZZlfg'OXVIl6!Cl in yellow and carrying red roses graced the court of our May Queen. After a. very trying year our teachers were glad to push us on as sopho- mores. After a. short pause, of three months, we resumed our high school days as Sophomores with superior air that at least demanded the respect of the Freshmen!! This was demonstrate-d by the attention our Sophomore Boys received from the Freshmen Girls ----- This time we carried on the election of our officers like Hold timers . We elected Thomas Shan-e president, Pete Kucan vice president, ,loann Peduzzi secretary, and john Louvre treasurer. Later in the May Queen election Betty Radosh and Elva Rubright were victorious. The acitvities of the youth center during the summer proba.bly had a great deal to do with the success of our Sophomore dances. Aside from the fact that most of 'us had improved a great deal on our dancing most of our boys had emerged from a selfconscious awkwandness, to polite young gentlemen ---- Ill Our star basketball players on the girl's team wereDorothy Noll, Meryle Shope, and Mary Rose Turchfm. lt was this time that the Sophomores won the respect of the whole school by winning the Girls' Iyntramural Championship. In Mr. Kelly's newly organized Golf Class ot 30 we boast a potential is members. lt is yet to be seen who will be outstanding in this newly or- ganized sport. Mary Rose Turchan, Ellva Rubright, and Betty Radosh, our Soph. Ma- jorettes, added their talents to the concert presented by the musical organ- ization ofthe scrhool. In their indivfidual act the girls did their routine with two batons. Other contribiutfions to the program We.re Mel Ray and his Saxapihone , William Camp and his Guitar, and last but not least, Carl Mikan at the piano. ln the Junior and Senior Chorus that blend of male voices was none other than our sophomore hovs'. Our representatives in the band are Dorothy Noll, Meryle Shope and Mel Ray. So, after two vears of High School knowledge, we brace ourselves and we hope our teachers are bracing themselves too, for our plunge into the Junior Class.

Chili i-IUNDDY This year many Freshmen were very active in the athletic, musica.l and scholastic fields of the school.

This brings us upto the inter-class basketball. The boysf Team placed second and the girls' team did win one game. In the Musical field we were represented in the ban-cl by Wayne Hol- singer, Charles Marker, Frank lierin, Peggy Garyis, Earl Bowden, Harry Mahr, jack Lowe, and joe Gilkey. In the Dance Orchestra, directed by Mr. Shank, by Russell Staffordt Earl Bowden and Charles Marker. In the mixed cho Aus by Frank lierin. Charles Marker and Wayne Holsinger, and in the Glee Club by almost all the Freshmen girls. Gloria Grande and Ber- nice Twardo-ski were picked for Cheer Leade.rs. Joann Zigarovich and Diana Godich axdded their beauty to the May Queen Court. In the scholastic field the Freshmen showed much intelligence. The following people received all the honor cards possible up to this time, Lee McBride, Charles Marker, Peggy Ann Garvis and Joann Zigarovich. ' In the begining of the Freshman year the enrollment was 96 which decreased to 94 because Michel Stakor and jack Anthony quit School. Do you suppose they didn't like us? , In becoming Freshmen all this year we have been subjected to a.ll the indignities which are -usually heaped upon Freshmen by the upperclass- men, such as the Sophomores crashing our parties, eating our ice c.ream and running off with the girls on the dance floor. Our boys don't make good wall flowers you kaow. Also they rsizzed us when we arrived in the wrong class through some miss-direction on their part. All this was taken because we know full well that all things come to him that waits. We soon can practice these with new additlions on the in-coming freshman. Even as we Write this now, we feel that we have been here a suf'ficient length of time to consider ourselves a fulil fledged part of the school, proud of its achievements and loyal to its pu.rpose and ideals. Here's to the class of '49 May the day we celebrate, As our graduation day, Find us true in every way, Loyal to T. H. S.
