A--- ------------A::::::::::Q:4ooooooooo::eooooo:::::::A::::o CLASS HISTORY In September, 1946, after six years of anxious waiting, came the day of days. Thirty-one excited youngsters were all set for their first year in Junior High School. Ellen Maurer, William Connell, and Francis Wiscount joined us that year, raising our number to thirty-four. Our girls were quite proud when we were allowed to model the aprons we made in the fashion show. With Miss Linn as our guide, we were lead safely on the first lap of our long journey through Junior High School. The next school year our class of thirty-three was separated. Miss Lash became the supervisor of seven girls while the rest of the class was under the leadership of Mrs. Hoffman who taught us that We were only little fish in a big pool. September, 1948, we entered our freshman year. Fifteen boys under supervision of Mrs. Kreis, while Miss Lash had charge of fourteen girls. This year we elected class officers for the first time. President: William Jones, Vice-President: Charles Seigerg Secretary: Carl Eisenacherg Trea- surer: Joan Schell. Attending our first Junior Prom was the highlight of the year. Thus ended our third year of the long journey. Entering our sophomore year we were under the supervision of Mr. Irwin and had an enrollment of thirty. Ellen High joined us this year. Class officers were elected. President: William Jones, Vice-President: Phyllis Huntzingerg Secretary: Ellen Maurer, Treasurer: Ellen High. We sold candy apples and held a skating party to earn money for the class. At last we were Juniors with Miss Williams as our guide. Two events were outstanding in our junior year. One. of these was the picking of our class rings, which we still cherish. The other was our Junior Prom. After much debating, we decided to use the white parachute in the center of the ceiling. To this we attached green balloons. Green and white crepe paper was dropped from the center to the walls. We were quite proud of our decorations. Class ofiicers were elected for our junior and senior year. President: Carl Eisenacherg Vice-President: Vinnie Brown, Secretary: Barbara Bashore, Treasurer: Ellen Maurer. To earn money we sold dough- nuts, held recording dances, competed in the West Schuylkill Press Con- test, and sold TCO chances. Thus completed another successful year. At last! The year of years. We were now Seniors! Nine new members came from Frailey and two from Tremont Township raising our members to thirty-five. The brainstorm of our senior year was the semi- formal dance called Winter Ball held on December 26. Our decorations consisted of pine and spruce. We were kept quite busy selling Christmas candy and cards, magazines, writing paper and chances on a turkey. Some of our boys and girls brought recognition to our class. William Connell is singing in the District and State Chorus, Fred Lehr and Bill Jones are play- ing in the District and State Band and Barbara Bashore won honorable mention with her essay, Employ the Handicapped for National Security. Our senior year, we feel, has been quite successful and now we are looking forward to Commencement, graduation, and our trip to Washington, D. C. Through the tireless efforts of Miss Salen, Senior dean, our money has been realized for various activities. We salute her as a great leader and teacher. --VINNIE and JOAN cwczcc::rooccirczaac::QO9oooQ::::o-Qoa::::::::::::::::::::::::
