THE CLASS OF 1951 CLASS HISTORY In the autumn of 1947, 174 frightened new Freshmen entered Whitmer High School and took their first look at the school which was to be their new friend. This year of 1951 sees this Senior Class graduating. But we have our memories of the wonderful times we had during those four years which spanned the initiation and the graduation days. We were the objects of the usual persecution and the traditional ridicule that is showered on all Freshmen. However, we managed to present a skate and after-game dance, with the help of our class advisor, Donald Stacy. As Sophomores the class undertook more activities. We sponsored an after-game dance, a skate, and an assembly. The first major event of our Junior year was the arrival of class rings, which we thought would never come. Then we gave our Junior Prom and the Junior Play, Henrietta VIII. We ended the year by giving the Junior-Senior party. Stepping into the ball-room, we were trans¬ formed from our modern world to the land of storybook—fairyland. With dignified grace we entered our Senior year. An event of the year, the Senior Play, Meet Me In Si. Louis, a rollicking comedy, was competently directed and presented by Mr. Stacy. November rolled around and the Senior pictures were something to behold. The Senior Prom was a climax to the social activities of the senior year. The Junior-Senior party followed shortly with equal success. The final group of social activities of the class centered around Com¬ mencement Exercises. It was not until then, that realization came with a shock—that very important and eventful era in each Senior ' s life had passed. But with Commencement past all eyes were turned expectantly to the future. Thus on many different roads they begin in the journey to a mutual and hopefully ultimate goal—SUCCESS.
