Senior Memoirs In the fall of 1950, fifteen Seniors embarked upon a memorable and eventful final year. We chose the following officers to guide us during this momentous year: President---------------------------------------Ray Stemen Vice-President--------------------Marvin Griffith Secretary-------------------------Carolyn Myers Treasurer---------------------------Marilyn Jones News Reporter-----------------------------------Don Krouse Mrs. Myers, our class advisor, helped us tremendously to make this, our last year, such an enjoyable one. The class of '51 accounted for innumerable accomplishments and indeed did them- selves and their school proud. Of the four Seniors who took the Senior Scholarship Tests, all four ranked, with Bill Myers having first in the county; Don Krouse, third; Carolyn Myers, fourth, and Marilyn Jones, honorable mention. Ray Stemen and Mary Griffith were co-captains of our basketball team and Marilyn Jones served as Editor-In- Chief of the Parrot. Bill Myers and Marilyn Jones, Co-Editors of the yearbook staff, were assisted by the entire calss in editing The Reminder. In the field of music, our class was well represented in the school band, glee clubs, solo work, and in ensembles. Our class enjoyed several parties, especially the one sponsored by us, at which we initiated the Freshies. We had a black-robed jury who passed sentence on the unfortu- nates. Another party was held after our magazine subscription contest with the losers treating the winners to a Canasta party at Marilyn Jones's house. Ask Bill Myers if he likes ripe olives! A royal feast was served at our annual Christmas Party which was held at Ray Stemen's. Contests and a gift exchange completed the evening's entertainment. To provide funds for our Senior trip, various money making projects were carried out. We sold Christmas cards and magazine subscriptions, collected tax stamps, and operated a concession stand at noons and at home ball games. We also sold ads for our Reminder. In April our class turned professional to star in the play, Rest Assured, a three- act comedy by Donald Payton. The cast was as follows: Mr. Morlock----------------------------Bill Myers Mrs. Morlock------------------------Marilyn Jones Mary, their daughter----------------Carolyn Myers Jessica, another daughter----------Nona Altstaetter Mildred, the maid-------------- Mary -Lou Edwards Joe Lanconi, Mary's fiance----------Theron Jackson .Luigi Lanconi, Joe's papa-------------------Marvin Griffith Martha; Luigi's departed wife---Dolores Gorman Lucifer---------------------------Kermit Salisbury Akers, Morlock's Secretary--------------Don Collar George Plew, Attorney---------------------------Ray Stemen Mrs. Schmaltz-----------------------Colleen Vance Dr. Brown---------------------------------------Don Krouse Mr. Black, Mortician----------------- John Smith Jake, sixty year old cockney newsboy--Jack Myers Mrs. Frinck, German Washerwoman--Colleen Vance We had an enjoyable time at the Prom--it was really a big success, Juniors. A trip to New York by train served as a fitting climax to our unforgettable year. 8
