Class History The school year began!! We were the new seventh graders Q97 strongj of the new Upper Dublin High School. Things were strange but we were soon like ol'd friends. All the girls were madly in love with the dreamboat of seventh grade, Mr. Campbell. The first dance of Upper Dublin Junior High was held at Fort Washing- ton School, everybody went and everybody danced. The year rapidly drew to a close and when we met again we were eighth graders. By this time we were all old hands and many budding romances were forming. The spring came and we excitedly embarked on our long awaited eighth grade trip to Harrisburg. We all had a good time even though it poured. Ninth graders, the big freshmen! We were to have our first prom. The date was set and all the girls were trying on their first formals. It was a huge success even though only 28 people attended. The next event was the traditional ninth grade play. Through long practice and hard work the play was a success. We graduated full fledged high school students. A celebration was held afterwards at Gifford's house, the whole class invited. Through the summer months plans were made for the continuation of the high school and the fall saw us all back together again, disregarding the noise of bulldozers and steamshovels. We were only tenth graders but still the top class- men. Our senior high school football team was formed and even though we had a poor season we foresaw the makings of a good team. Our history classes were interesting and dif- ferent as every other week we had a new teacher. Finally, Mr. Starner, our eighth, arrived and fin- ished the year. Things were now starting to roll, in the way of school functions. We had our first committee meetings and the designing of our first school ring was under way. Christmas time arrived and we had our first band dance. The year passed on with many more social and schol- astic functions. Juniors! Our eleventh year of schooling! Again the loud roar of bulldozers and hammer- ing disrupted us. Our football team fared better throughout the season accumulating more ex- perience. Just before the Christmas holidays the first school ring arrived. The yearbook staff was collecting their thoughts and material. One day after Christmas, nature started shedding her coat and laid a white blanket of snow on the ground. The juniors decided they would like to go sledding so about sixty of them went on a three day joy ride. The basketball game was awfully quiet that night. The time for the class play rolled around and this year we combined our talents with that of the sophomores. By Feb- ruary, the month of Valentines, many girls were sporting certain boys' rings, the going steady fad was in full bloom. For many months the 11B and 11C groups had been working hard on 4'The Robe under the direction of Mrs. Graichen. The play was given at Easter. It was an excellent portrayal of Lloyd C. Douglas's novel. In the early spring the first Varsity Varieties was given. Late May featured the Junior Prom. The com- mittee did a great job. Just the right ending for our junior year. Fall arrives! Our last year of high school. Now we were the big Senior Classmen on the brink of life, getting ready to step out on our own. The senior officers were elected: Walter L. Reller, president, John W. Bender, vice presi- dentg Nancy Lou Bumm, secretary, Richard Whitmire, treasurer. The football season was a success and the Thanksgiving Day game finished it off with a grand victory. The first football queen of Upper Dublin was crowned We were having fun in Chemistry, causing minor atomic explosions and Mr. Shearba the loss of his hair. The Christmas dance was held the week before vacation. Basketball season was just as success- ful as football. Things were happening fast and we were all preparing for the big day. The big day arrived, and so, after twelve long years, we bring to a close one phase of our education. Now, we, the seventy-six remaining seniors, depart from our Alma Mater to travel each on his own road of life. The road we have traveled has been rough but the rocky highway of life lies ahead.
