C7444 We were strangers here, then, 57 of us, but looking back we've passed through that stage, and we have had a lot of fun. In our first class meeting we elect- ed Frank Petty for our class presidentg Jeanette Whited, our vice president, Joan Smith, secretary-treasurer. Bob Hunt and Roberta Selter were elected Student Coun- cil Representatives. The Sophomores gave us a Hallowe'en Party. Remember the nChamber of Horrorsu? We wanted to learn to dance, so we had after-school dancing classes. During the winter, Fred Hawkins and Jim Harvey represented us on the light- weight basketball team. We had 2 plays in the Play Tournament --uThe Queen's Dietn and HHold That In- dian.H Out of the 8 plays given, HThe Queen's Dietn was one of the two plays to get nAn. March l8 we gave the Sophomores a Valentine Party, at which we demonstrated our musical talent. The group programs for the year were centered around the improving of each stu- dent and we held a quiz program on eti- quette. Six boys and six girls took part. Remember Andy's snake dance? When we came back as Sophomores, we chose Joan Smith as our president, Fred Hawkins as our vice president, and Jean- ette Whited our secretary-treasurer. That fall we gave the Freshmen a party. Four letters were awarded in basket- ball to Sophomores, and five in baseball. We really showed our Dramatic ability by winning the Drama Shield in the Play Tournament this year. The Freshmen returned our party in the spring. Before school was out that year we made arrangements for a booth at the County Fair to sell refreshments and make money to begin our Junior year. During our Junior year we settled down to our first hard work. The annual publication required combined efforts for almost the whole year. The prom which we gave for the Seniors was likewise success- ful. Our officers were Fred Hawkins, pres- ident, Joan Smith, vice president, and Mary Osmond, secretary-treasurer. wifi: fozy The Junior play, HSomewhere in Ohio,H written and directed by Mrs. M. K. Phil- lips, and the community party were present- ed to raise money for the annual and the prom. Three Juniors were on the heavy weight team and one on the light weight team. On the floor cheering them on were Bob Peder- sen, Charles Anderson, Vir Jean Hook, and Violet Loftus. On the baseball team, five boys repre- sented the class. Five also played on the tennis team, three on the track team, and three on the golf team. In dramatics we lost the shield to the class of '40 although we won half of the individual awards, and Roberta Selter was selected as best actress. In our senior and final year many awards were won by our class. The officers were Fred Hawkins, president, Jeanette Whited, vice president, and Vir Jean Hook, secretary-treasurer. Doris Klass, Mary Kay Lynn, Joan Smith, Charles Anderson, Frank Petty, and Bob Hunt were elected to repre- sent us in Student Council. In the fall we enjoyed many outings such as the wienie roast at Fox River Grove and the steak fry at Petrifying Springs. Early in the year we presented our gift to the school, a-victrola and a P.A. system. We also gave them movies. Letters for football were awarded to six seniors, basketball to four, and base- ball to four. Track letters went to three seniors, tennis to five, and golf to four. In dramatics the seniors were out- I standing this year. Violet Loftus and Dale Smith won the best actress and actor awards The senior play, nTishH was a great suc- cess. The seniors were also prominent in the play which advanced to the State dra- matics contest. The seniors also partici- pated in the chorus at the Third Division Contest at Argo and in the operetta. With the senior picnic, Ivy Day, Baccalaureate Services and finally gradua- tion, we, the class of '41, leave our Alma Mater with many valuable experiences and treasured memories. as-x--x--me-me 16
