CLASS HISTORY Dear Annie: Here we are at the end of our high school years, and ready to be graduated. Before we leave you. we should like to remind you of the story of our class. Our history started when our patriarch. Darcia Dayton, made her debut in the Kindergarten. In the third grade she was joined by Virginia and Margaret Jean, and in the fifth by Patty Billings. Elaine Rydell arrived just in time to take part in our operetta. Little Red Riding Hood, and graduation from the Middle School. Oh. Annie, will you ever forget our tumultuous Freshman corridor, the bewild- ered new girls, and the difficulties in which we consistently found ourselves? That was the year we adopted Bebe. Cinder. Connie. Maggie Snyder, our president, and Ann. For Freshman activities we sold sweets at hockey games and gave the school a grand time at our splash party. The thrill of our Freshman-Sophomore Hop and our first A. A. banquet will never be forgotten. Bebe guided us through our rather uneventful Sophomore year. Three arrivals added interest: Ferdy. Betty Lou, and Elgene. As we were all inclined to be bored and very complacent, little thrilled us except, perhaps, our second Hop. Remember how we felt when we became Upperclassmen? Cinder, our Key girl and president, helped us carry out our many Junior activities. This year brought a record for new faces: Virginia returned; Louise. Margie. Toni. Beverly. Mary Ruth. Barbara. Marilyn, and Marian entered our ranks. The Winter Carnival with its blue and white snow theme was one of our most effective projects. Every- one enjoyed the Junior Prom, made especially notable by its beautiful decorations and expensive orchestra. The Junior Sales and the Junior Journal were a severe strain upon our commercial and literary abilities. By June the class was apparently rather tired. Whatever the reason, our final appearance, in the take-off of Quality Street, was not an outstanding success. Minky. Smitty. Ann Campbell. Marilyn Haskins. Jo Ann. and Virginia Webb shared our Senior year. Maggie Snyder found the Spade under the stage lights in record time, and Margie, as president, directed our not always successful efforts to conduct ourselves as dignified Seniors. Our soft sweaters, the Carnival, the Prom. May Day. with Connie as our lovely Queen, and our play. Letters to Lucerne— each in turn was enjoyed. The final project on which the class worked was our Annual. All the Seniors are very grateful to Mr. Hull, who despite the war and the difficulties it presented, printed The Shield of 1944. And now. Annie, we discover that Commencement is here, and soon for the last t ime as Seniors we shall use our Senior stairs. We hope you will not forget us; as a reminder and a promise we leave this record of our class. The Class of 1044.
