CLASS SAflG Our strong band can ne'er be broken, Form'd in T. V. High- Far surpassing wealth unspoken. Seal'd by friendship's tie, Mem'ry's leaflets close shal] twine, Around our hearts for aye, And waft us back, o'er life's broad track, To pleasures long gone by. High school life at best is passing. Gliding swiftly by; Then let us pledge in word and deed, Our love for T. V. High. Chorus: Alma Mater, Alma Mater, Deep graven on each heart, Shall be found unwav'ring, true. When we from life sha]] part. 29

CLASS HISTORY We,the class of 1950, entered Tuscarora Valley High School in September, nineteen hundred and forty-six with an enrollment of twenty-seven members. The strange faces soon became familiar ones, and al] of us, after some difficulty, became accustomed to the routine of High School life. After a few weeks, we elected the following officers to guide our class through the first year: President, Earl Fleck; Vice-President, Nedra Frankhouse; Secretary, Gloria Kauffman; Treasurer, Charles Telfer; Chaplain, Theodore Godshall; Student Council Members, Miriam Kilmer, James Shirk. Our class was well represented in sports and dramatics and other activities of the school. After a well spent vacation, we returned as sophomores, to find that we had lost eight of our hearty members. We were glad to welcome Ray Helwig as a new member of our class. This year we elected the following officers: President, Earl Fleck; Treasurer, Ray Helwig; Sedretary, Nedra Frankhouse; Chaplain, Gloria Kauffman; Student Council Members, Helen Gilson and Richard Dunn. Being an ambitious class, we soon set to work making money toward our senior trip. Our most accomplished arts this year were sponsoring roller skating parties at Alfrata Park and selling writing paper. Again our class was well represented in sports and the all school play, The Daffy Dills . When we returned to T.V.H.S. as juniors , we were happy to find that we had gained three members. We elected the following officers: President, Mack Johnson; Vice-President, John Ritzman; Secretary, Gloria Kauffman; Treasurer, Ray Helwig; Chaplain, Mary Alice Eaton; Student Council Members, Helen Gilson, Robert Hertzler. Realizing our rank as upper classmen, we presented a class play, Brother Betty . As before, we showed ability and interest in sports and activities, and worked very willingly in publishing the school paper, The Tuscarora . We were happy to present an elaborate prom at Green Gables Hotel, in honor of the departing seniors. Twenty members of our class returned as seniors to finish their work toward receiving a ‘diploma'at the end of the year. This year we elected the following officers: President, Nedra Frankhouse; Vice-President, Charles Towsey; Secretary, Gloria Kauffman; Treasurer, Charles Telfer; Chaplain, Beulah Foltz; Student Council Members, Miriam Kilmer, Ray Helwig, and John Ritzman. The year book staff was appointed bv the advisor, Mr, Gerhart, and we immediately began production of the Tuscarora’1. After several months of hard work, our completed art-was sent to press. Our class was well represented in the all school play, No Soap . Our last activities were limited to prepar- ations for our final exams and graduation exercises. We now depart from our Alma Mater with saddened hearts, but with the determination to strive toward our goal. 28
