Cfadd ,Had tory Can you remember way back in forty-five when eighty tiny, frightened Freshies stood waiting to enter Warren High School? The Seniors of 1949 certainly do To face the students and teachers we would have was a dan- gerous adventure to us Putting it mildly we were scared stiff Another thought which we dreaded tremendously was the Freshman Initiation. Results of this good time and lots of fun Our reward for this was a gala dance in the evening in our honor We pulled through our first year safely with the leadership of our class officers Presidents, Bill Rintz and Bob Cook Vice-Presidents, Nancy Miller and John Dotson, Secretaries and Treasurers Donna Roth and Eugene Hein Time marched along, and along about 1946 we, the sophisticated Sopho- mores, made our acquaintance with the Freshmen by sponsoring the Freshman Intiation Dance We honored the students with our great dance, the nSno Ball Flurry ' Our officers for the year were Presidents, Art Woodhouse, Dick Jovanovich, and John Dotson, Vice Presidents, Bill Rintz, Wayne Sunman and Loren Frye, Secretaries, Rose Moore, Barbara Catlin, and Dorothy Schneider and Treasurers, Bud Armentrout, Dorothy Schneider, and Jean Jackson As time continued to march on, we marched along becoming jaunting Juniors Remember all those cute little turkeys struttin around the study hall? Pardon me, those were only decorations for our dance, The Thanksgiving Strutt ' Oh, don't forget the night we were all snuggled so closely together in one little backstage room, powdering noses, flouring hair, and putting on beards You certainly recall Ma Brannigan, Bildad, Kay, and all the characters in our elaborate theatrical production, The Campbells Are Coming Our sincere appreciation and thanks to Mrs Caminsky, our director We also recall that bleak Sunday in January, when we went to Bald Mountain tobogganing Can't you smell the delicious turkey we served at the Banquet presented to the Seniors of '48 at St Anne's Hall' Boy, was it good! The Star Ballroom was a magnificent place to hold the annual Junior Senior Prom Formals in various styles and colors were swishing every where President, Art Woodhouse, Secretary, Gerry Warner, and Treasurer, B111 Atkinson Time finally stopped for us in the year 1948, for we now were sonorous Seniors Cowboy hats, saddles, cactus, and also Dick Peters' music enabled to swing and sway at our dance in January If one of the Seniors did not knock at your door during the year, you were fortunate, as they were selling Christmas Cards We would like to give the Juniors a bow for the fine Banquet and Prom which they gave in our honor Another terrific display of our class was brought forth in our Senior Play Thanks to our fine director, Mrs Camin sky As fellow students and teachers were glad to be rid of us for three days we sailed the high seas to Niagara Falls and through the Welland Canal.
