CLASS HISTORY We the graduating class of '55 entered the halls of Blume High School as wide-eyed seventh graders in 1949. We'll never forget our first few days at Blume as we got lost in the halls or went to the wrong rooms and had to be shown the way by some of the then upper classmen. We got a big thrill out of all the different things that happened at high-school that didn't happen at grade school. Things such as the changing of classes every forty-five minutes, going to assem- blies and pep-meetings and many of us seeing a football or basketball game for perhaps the first time! Most of us started going to the Recreation Center on Friday and Saturday nights and to the Teddy Bear afterwards for a coke. Some of the boys of our class even had a basketball team organized. Perhaps one of the biggest things that happened that year was the seventh and eight grade party we went to. We then learned how to dance and how to act like big boys and girls. Also that same year we went on a trip to the Ohio Caverns. Not too many changes took place as we entered school the next year as eighth graders. How- ever, we had one more year added to our lives That year we were in charge of the seventh and were something then! Now comes the year of '51 and we along with Local entered Blume's halls as greenies. We were year and we also elected officers for the various Many of us joined clubs such as Band, Hi-Y, of our boys went out for basketball that year and knew that in a couple of years they would be the and we were really beginning to feel 'up to snuffi. eighth grade party and gosh, did we think we some new friends from Moulton and United allowed to choose some of our own subjects that homerooms. F.F.A., F.H.A., G.A.A., mixed chorus, etc. More began to take an interest in football, because they 'big men' of the team. We were invited to the freshman and sophomore dance, the theme of which was The Bunny Hopf' It turnd out to be a huge success. That year we were also permitted to stay at the Rec unil after 10:00, Qwhich had been the deadline for seventh and eighth gradersj During our Sophomore year at Blume we were just in the midst of things. We began to get more and more busy with our clubs and activities. We elected class officers to preside over the whole sophomore class. We also elected Barbar Seitz as the homecoming attendant to the queen. That year our class was in charge of the freshmen and sophomore dance which had a St. Pat- ricks Day theme.
