CLASS HISTORY As I sit in my big easy chair watching the glowing embers in the fireplace, my thoughts go flittering back over the four enjoyable years I spent at U. L. H. S. In September 1945, all we members of the class hurried to school to begin our exciting journey through high school. Here we toiled over fractions and history dates. At the end of this year quite a few members discontinued the journey. After a brief summer vacation, we again resumed our activities, and advanced a step nearer our goal. We were now sophomores. We welcomed Mr. Eshleman and Mrs. Wise to our faculty. In the spring our biology class took an interesting field trip. The class also visited Valley Forge. At the end of this year, we were disappointed to see that we had lost two of our classmates, Farrell Lynch and Erla Mae Glatfelter. After what seemed like an extremely short vacation, we returned as juniors. We welcomed two new students, Kenneth lbach and Merle Smith, to our class. This year we were very happy to welcome Mrs. Lilley to our faculty. In the spring, we took a very enjoyable trip to Cettysburgg and later we entertained the senior class at a party. The biggest event of the year was the performance of our junior play Grandad Steps Out which was a three act comedy directed by Mrs. Lilley. Forty Niners! Yes! After much toiling, we finally reached our goal. ln September twenty of us assembled in Miss Kendig's room, for the last lap of our journey. In November, we presented our senior play Here Come the Bridesw directed by Mrs. Lilley. ln March, we took a trip to Harrisburg. In the spring, we were delightfully enter- tained by the junior class. After this came many exciting moments, not only our final tests, but also our trip to Washington. After our return, we anxiously awaited our Baccalaureate Services on May 22 and also our Commencement Exercises held on May 31. At last we actually held our own diplomas in our hands. Our goal was finally achieved. E191
