They are the following: Francis Hoffman, Danny Schwardt, Wilma Heibel, Bethel Cook, Frances Rapp, Phoebe Copley, Mary Henkel, Andre Swiger, Roma Newton, Esther Bauer, Dorothy Fulscher, Gary Stahler, Opal Seeling, Doris Tackett, Goldie Emrich, Norma Beekman, Beatrice McNeal, Verna Tackett, Morgan Shrader, Bill Gildow, Leo Foster, Bud Downing, Don Carmen, Bill Breitenbach, Jimmy Markham, Rex Zonner, Floyd Scott, Richard Moore, Dick McFerren. In the first grade the class was under the supervision of Miss Keechle and Miss Dove; we then advanced to the second grade and there we were taught by Miss Pollard and Miss Hughes; our third grade instructors were Miss Eyler and Miss Pennisten; on to the fourth we went from the new building to the old one. It was there that we presented the play Scrooge directed by our teachers, Miss Andre and Miss Haynes. That year we also had a display of antiques. During the fifth year, under the guidance of Mrs. Hoeckh and Miss Brown, we organized a Junior American Citizen Club (MacArthur) to learn better citizenship. In the sixth grade we had an art class, directed by Mrs. Schultz. We also learned the state capitals that year. Mr. Radiger's reading from Little Men and Little Women was the high spot of each day. The next two years, junior high, were very exciting for us. We had to get used to the change bells, and we didn't have recesses any more. Yes, we were really growing up. When we became freshmen, we felt pretty important. Science seemed to be the subject we enjoyed most, especially when we got to use the microscope. In our sophomore year, we all wrote essays for a bank contest. One of our seniors won fifty dollars in that contest. Our junior year was a very important one for us. We had our first edition of the Hi-Lites, our first class play, Off The Track , and the presentation of the junior-senior banquet at Lake White. Now we have reached the most important year of school. Our senior year has been one of work and enjoyment. We've learned to know the real meaning of responsibility. Our class has participated in many activities such as: school paper, athletics, Senior Scholastic Tests, and the class play. The class of 1950 now moves on its way to even more successful years as we say goodbye to old Waverly High School. WANDA STRICKLAND
