class sone Now our school days are over, Joyous days of toil and fun. Now we face the unknown world, And our tasks have just begun. We have worked and played together, During all those passing days; Too soon must come the parting As we go our separate ways. But as we leave each class mate, We will hold within each heart, Fond memories of our high school And the friends that now depart. tyl xdf 23 -------------------------——“

We, the Class of L9 entered Tuscarora Valley High School in September, nineteen hundred and orty-five with an enrollment of twenty-two members. Like other fresh- men, we were timid and shy for the first few weeks. How- ever, being an ambitious and willing class, we soon learned the customs and routine of high school life. Our first task was the elction of officere which were as follows: presi- dent, Grace Ard; Secretary-Treasurer, Mary Lou Aumiller; Student Council members, Nancy Telfer and Ben Gaul. Our first project was the sale of school hats and insignias. Our eyes beamed with joy as we earned the first few dollars t.ovfard our senior trip. One of the hi-lights of our fresh- man year was our class Halloween party, which was held in agricultural building. All the facultv members were in- vited and we all had a wonderful time. Even as early as our freshman year, many of our class members were active in sports and dramatics. Our class was well represented in Land of Cotton , the all-school minstrel and Garden of the Moon , the all-school play. After a well earned summer vacation, we returned as sophomores,five less in number, but just as ambitious as before. This year we elected the following officers: Pres- ident, Purcell Shelley; Vice President, Philip Bargo; Sec- retary-Treasurer, Joan Keoner; Student Council members, Nancy Telfer and Charles McCahan. As soon as we elected our officers, we began to sell writing paper. Evidently we had some ood salesmen in our class, for we sold almost a hundred boxes. Writing paper wasn’t the only thin we were able to sell. During that year our class won the ice cream party for selling the largest number of magazines in the Curtis Publishing Co. Campaign. After the first semes- ter, our class added to its treasury by snonsoring roller skating parties at Kishacoquillas Park. We were verv dis- appointed this year because we weren’t initiated into the ranks of upper classmen at the Junior Prom. Thanks to time and our teachers, we soon forgot our first great disappoint- ment • Eighteen jolly Juniors arrived at school the next year ready for hard work. We elected the following officers to guide us through our Junior year; President, Ben Gaul; Vice President, Nancy Telfer; Secretary-Treasurer, Joan Keener; Student Council members, Sally Warner and Charles McCahan. One of the ma n events of our junior year was our class plav, Hook, Line ana Sinker . Although it was the first pla our class had presented, it was considered one of the best that had been given in our school. After a hard-fought contest with the seniors, we won the March of Dimes contest by contributing more mone than any other class in the school. We worked with great zeal all year on our school paper, the Tuscirora , and by the end of the year we were able to hon- or the seniors by giving them a very elaborate prom at Green Gables. After a delicious turkey dinner, we danced to the music of Tom Quinn’s orchestra. All agreed that they had had a most enjoyable evening. All eighteen members of our class returned in the fall of our senior year. We elected as our class officers, the following people: President, Robert Ditmer; Vice President, Purcell Shelley; Secretary-Treasurer, Joan Kepner; President of the Student Council, Charles McCahan; Student Council members, Kathryn Deen and Ben Gaul. Our yearbook staff was appointed, and we immediately be an production of the Tus- carora . Our work was interrupted, however, by our senior class play, Sis Perkins . This plav, our fin-2l dramatic performance, was a decided success. Continuing our yearbook proauction, we strived to do a goodt job on our final Lit- erary accomplishment. We finally sent it to publication February first, with the understanding that it would be re- turned to us on or about May first. Our last activities were limited to preparations for our final tests and grad- uation exercises. We now depart from our Alma Mater sadly and unwillingly, but still the spirit of triumph reigns supreme in our hearts. 22
