SOPHOIVIORE CLASS HISTORY As usual our school year started with a bang. This was the result of our president's efforts to extract last yearis dues from us. Around the end of September we elected our class oflicers, which are as follows: Dolly Czapor, president, Betty Petrina, Vice Presi- dent, Lois Wanner, secretary, and Rose Bucar, treasurer. The Student Council members were Jackie Pratt, Eddie Krcelic, Pat Prines, and Chuck Jones. It was with the guidance of these faithful servants that we were able to get through the year without a mishap., The sophomore class contributed gal- lantly to the football team by the addition of Joe Frydrych, Mike DiCesare, Kenny Kinley, Don Lintner, Don Hopkins, Roland Dobos, Barry Brickle, Jim Furimsky and John Hartzer. We proudly contributed Betty Petrina to the ranks of our high stepping majorettes. We also had a group of musicians as band mem- bers. Leonard Colangelo, Jackie Pratt, Walter Trkula, Lois Wanner, and Certrude Meager. Adding a touch of class to the band was our color guard, Dolly Czapor. In October we staged a bake sale in Har- lich's Drug Store with the same purpose in mind-namely, moneyl We made out rather well in this, too, about SSO. Also, we can't forget those talented actors and actresses from our Latin II class, who put on a skit, under the direction of Miss Bierer. This was of course put on during football sea- son at one of our Pep rallies. In the course of the year we gained a promising addition to our class. His name, Chuck Jones, better known to all as Buck. He turned out to be a great and promising artist for our school newspaper, the Tomahawk. The sophomore basketball players were Bob Mathias, Bill Henkel, Barry Brickle, Den- ny Robinson, Jim Furimsky, Leonard Colan- gelo, and Eddie Krcelic. The sophomore girls who contributed to the C.A.A. volleyball, and basketball teams were: Patty Erwin, Dolores Fedor, Dorothy Fedor, Joann Cotch, Janet Iovino, Tance Leffler, Gertrude Meager, Mary Lou Merritts, Jackie Pratt, Eleanor Radosh, Pat Reed, and Lois Wanner. Frequent couples seen during the year were Elly and Mike, Bose and Rich, Pat and Bill, Jackie and Cap, Dolly and Bud, Barry and Anna Mae, Pretzel and Fran, Pat and Jim, Bunny and Yunny, and of course we can't for- get those three new romances which happened over the holidays, namely Jan and Paul, Wood- gie and Ron, and Chache and Myrrl. Oh, those out of town boys. At mid-term we lost one of our most popu- lar boys, Walter Trkula, to Penn Township. On January the seventh we had our first class party, our Freshman dues finally being in. This was a grand success and the boys, as usual, enjoyed the food. Toward the end of January we started an all out drive to raise money. In this we returned to the old stand-by of selling maga- zines. Our new student, Chuck Jones, came through with flying colors by selling the most subscriptions. While this did not make us millionaires it was fairly successful. As the old year went out with a bang, we found ourselves staring at the second Week of January, and came face to face with that dreaded time of exams. We then started look- ing forward to see if there were exemptions and who would be exempted. To our dismay we found only four teachers had exemptions and only the few students who had all Sis were not compelled to take the tests. Our hopes fell with a thud as the news circulated. To our amazement, the tests weren't as difli- cult as expected and no one needed to fear the consequences of facing our parents. And so we brought to a close our Sopho- more year and looked forward to a bright future in the hallowed halls of Trafford High School. ' I

SEVENTH GRADE HISTORY The seventh grade of 1951-52 has made their debut at Trafford High. They have had a very prosperous year with which they are well pleased. They have had several parties which came out beautifully with the help of Mrs. Harris and Mr. Seigel. While the boys were busy making things in shop they never used, the girls were busy trying to send delicious smelling odors through the halls from the Home Ec. room. A few of the girls didn't survive the break- fasts they made. But most of us were out of the hospital in a few weeks. If you see a few boys walking around without fingers you,ll know that they let the band saw get out of hand. But we all survived the tragic happen- ings of 7th grade to be here next year. We hope future seventh graders will have such a memorable year to look back on. We also hope that we havenit been too much trouble to the upper classmen and to the teach- ers. We all made a resolution to try to be better next year. EIGHTH GRADE HISTORY The Dreadful Dansv of 1938 have at last reached the eighth grade. As the shepherd to lead our flock we chose George Mahr, The other officers were Vice President, Darlene Schrockg Secretary, Norma Iean Bradley, Trea- surer, Joyce Simmons. Our student council representatives were juliann Bayko, Darlene Schrock, Pat Di Ceasare and Gilbert Burkel. We had two successful parties, Halloween and St. Valentine,s Day. The boys were a little bashful at first but Mrs. Neil soon got them over that. Our class increased by acquiring two new boys, Dick Morgan and Larry McCoy. The eighth grade was well represented this year in the gym exhibition. Some of the boys showed their skill on the mats doing wrestling and tumbling. Some of the boys were chosen to square dance with twelve girls. All in all, overlooking the bumps and bruises the boys must have gotten, the eighth grade came out on top. We want to thank Mrs. Neil and Mr. Shank for all their patience in trying to control our class. We are anxiously awaiting next year when weill be taking Latin, Algebra, and Ir. Business Training. We hope our year as Creenies', turns out as well as this year did. FRE SHMAN CLASS HISTORY On September 4, 1950, the Freshman class with high hopes and a keen sense, entered a new era of their education. It was the same building but how different it looked when seen through Freshman eyes. At last we have arrivedf, was echoed in each heart. But our serenity was dashed. We found that we were still ninth graders members of the junior High. We elected our class officers-President, Bardo Calloro, Vice President, Edward Hora- nic, Secretary, Eva Jane Bruno, Treasurer, Antoinette Morocco. Our members showed interest in the various school activities avail- able. Take a look at some of the activities we entered: Student Council, Reflector, and Tomahawk representatives and Freshman cheerleaders were chosen, Dramatic Club, Camera Club, Band, Jazz Band, Traffordians, Football Team, junior High Basketball, Cho- rus, interclass basketball, C.A.A., F.H.A., and the Minstrel drew many of us. Intermingled with the serious were the gay times, one of which our Freshman Party, was a great success. Dancing and a delicious lunch kept us in a happy mood. Miss Smith and Mr. Trembath worked diligently for our pleasure and we would like to thank them and say how much we appreciated their kind- IIPSS.
