.5 '-g1w.' SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Left to right: A. M. Nabuda, 1. XVracker, D. Josephic, J. Sage. It was a chilly Fall morning in September, 1949. Our band of explorers stood on the hill gazing at our destination, Trafford High School, 'feagerlyi' waiting to begin the greatest adventure of our careers. We found that the adventure was going to last four long years, and for some, even more. But all of us soon realized that this venture would be one that we would remember the rest of our lives. We entered into this Hall of Knowledge as 'Creeniesi' bursting with enthusiasm to cfdigv into Latin and I.B.T. After a week or two, this enthusi- asm faded, but we found an outlet for it in our study halls: throwing paper wads, books and shak- ing the floors. We took time-off from the mischief to 'elect class officers, electing james VVracker as our President, Vice President Edward Lenart, Secretary Maryann Mikan, and Bill Ogle as Treasurer. After threats of impeach- ment, Wracker carried on successfully as President. We also used some of our enthusiasm on the basket- ball Hoor. The boys and girls were champions of the interclass basketball tournaments and we celebrated the event by having a spaghetti dinner. The troubles we had trying to eat spaghetti and using good man- ners will long be remembered. Our band of adventurers was a courageous one witnessed by our noble stand at Busby Run. fActually we ran away from the antics of a wild man. It seemed a few of the boys happened to venture into his farm crops. We all fied except Mr. Shank, who stood his groundj By the time another year rolled around, we were firmly established in our Alma Mater. With one year behind us, we 'still ploddcd forward to our goal. With the advancement of a year, we became aware of financial responsibilities thrust upon us. We had a bake sale which proved to be quite a success. Al- though we had a diflicult time collecting dues, we finally pulled through with the aid of our trusty trea- surer, Jim Sage. Ther-e we were in the midst of our Sophomore year. The year of our immortal Slip Slop Quartet. Who will forget We Love You Madlyf' and how shaky they were in their appearance in our annual Burnt Corkeris Minstrel? We never thought Joe Mazur would stop laughing long enough to sing. After the Minstrel, we tamed down long enough to choose Frances Stojakovich and Marion Harvey to rep- resent the Sophomores in the yearly May Queen coro- nation. WVO were also very proud of our adventurous crew in the basketball field. VVe contributed our fine sportsmen to Mr. Trembath's quintet. The boys' interclass basketball team had an unusual talent for losing games. Well, we all have our ups and downs. The entire Sophomore year was filled with trials and tribulations. We all felt sure we were prepared to enter into our gala Junior Year. The summer was all too short for us, and we soon found ourselves back in school again for the third chapter of our High School life. Opening our third chapter, we elected Evelyn Morrow as President, Bill Ogle as Vice President, and James Sage was re- elected as Treasurer and Jim Owens as Secretary. After spending a time trying to translate I. P.'s legi- blei' handwriting, we finally pulled through. Continued on Page 57 to .
