Vaughnsville High School - Reminder Yearbook (Vaughnsville, OH)

Class History In the fall of 1947, eighteen bright Freshmen, destined to make history during the course of the next four years, entered the portals of Vaughnsville High. They elected the following officers to guide them for their first year, with Miss Vera Soldner as counselor. (As you can see from the officers chosen we had a majority of boys. ) Bill Myers-----------------------------President Ray Stemen------------------------Vice-President Donald Collar------------------------ Secretary Marilyn Jones--------------------------Treasurer Marvin Griffith-----------------------------News Reporter We came through the initiation with flying colors and at the last high school party of the year, we succeeded in giving the Seniors a proper send-off. The yuletide season was given a favorable climax by a class party at the home of Bill Myers. The following year opened brightly for a group of studious Sophomores who chose Miss Jones as advisor and a year of fun and friendship began in full swing. We selected the following to see us through our second year: Ray Stemen-----------------------------President Marvin Griffith-------------------Vice-President Carolyn Myers--------------------------Secretary Marilyn Jones--------------------------Treasurer Bill Myers----------------------------------News Reporter We held a successful Christmas party at Carolyn Myers's and presented a hilarious St. Patrick's day program in chapel. At the Junior-Senior Prom (a Southern theme) we donned black faces to provide waiters and entertainers for the upperclassmen. A theater party and a delicious luncheon party afterwards at Gorman's made a prime social event. Fifteen wise Juniors marched into school for the year 1949-'50, going into a year of fun and experience. Electing the same officers as the previous year and with Miss Marie Myers as our sponsor, we started in a whirl of memorable and fascinating events with the Junior play. The play, The Perfect Idiot, was a huge success and will long be remembered for the laughter it produced. Our Christmas party at Miss Myers's was one of the best and our Easter chapel, a mixture of music, fun, and sobriety, was ex- cellently presented. The PROM took us back to the days of the barbershop quartette, bicycles built for two, and the gay ninety atmosphere of Diamond Jim's Tavern (complete with a bar); all lit by kerosene chandeliers, oil lamps, and candles--producing a memory that will linger to every member of our class whenever he will feel the soft breeze of a spring night. Our Senior year arrived and we found Mrs. Janet Myers at the post, ready to guide and help us through this final year. With acclamations in music, scholarship, dramatics, and athletics, our class became the leading group in the high school and to the strains of the traditional Pomp and Chivalry we marched into the auditorium (May 21) to give our last farewell--Commencement! 10
