SPH' 7 KITTENS WOBBLE IN: CATS STRUT OUT Three very long years ago. so we think. a batch of wobbl -legged kittens from Coles and Putnam Junior High Schoofs and any and all points east or west gathered together to form the sophomore class of A.H.S. We kittens who had thought we were lord and masters as freshman in junior high school found out that we hardly had our eyes open. How soon we learned. Feebly we roamed the halls calling helplessly upon the domineering juniors and seniors for information about room numbers. Some of those warmhearted juniors, re- membering that they had been in the same spot. fondly stroked their underclassmen's fluffy fur. flung the infor- mation over a shoulder, and dashed on down the hall. High and mighty seniors. finding a frightened newcomer huddled in a corner staring with wide eyes. only chided him more and more until he fled meowing piteously. Thankful that we had nine lives and feeling as if we had lost three of them already, this baby class finally elected its class officers. As president we chose Lewis Lyle. whose red hair. we felt confident, would serve as a guiding light for our tiny paws to patter after. Bucky Tanner was chosen vice president. Roy Nolte was elected to fill the secre- tary's position and Bob Wilcox to fill that of treasurer. Soon, however, we caught on to things and began to take part in school activities. We quickly assumed the inheritance the juniors had left to us-their assembly seats in the balcony and the places at the end of the lunch line. Many of us joined clubs and began to know people. Then it was that we thought high school might not be so terrible as we had anticipated. We looked forward to becoming Marshals and being allowed to sit downstairs in assembly when we got to be juniors. At the beginning of our junior year we tweaked our cats' whiskers and pranced down the halls on nimble, padded cushions. feeling as if we were ready for anything. We were conscious of the war that had been going on for almost three years, but now as our friends and classmates began to join the armed forces the conflict came closer to us. We dug down deeper in our pockets and bought more and more defense stamps and war bonds on Tuesdays from the Theta Club booth on the second floor. We rushed around as all important juniors electing for our class officers that year Leonard Manley, Libby Ann Callihan, Lila Lee Simpson, and Cyrus Reynolds. ln the spring of our junior year with Mrs. Clarence Sparks as our junior sponsor we undertook the gala affair of serving as traditional hosts to the seniors at the junior- senior prom. That year junior Tomcats-Emmor Evans. Willie Bar- ker, Leonard Manle , Bob Webb, Dick Falk, Johnny Bill McWhorter, Hugh Ciallihan. and Charlie Barber-stepped up to the limelight on the football team. Several basket- ball Tomcats pounced around too-Randall Stevens. Jerry Carroll, Tom Chappell, and Jimmy Anderson being the juniors among them. That ear as juniors we were proud of Jetta Mac- Donald, who was the first junior to be elected queen of Hi-Life at the Sweetheart Dance. We had Leonard Manley, who was to become captain of the I945 Tomcat football team, to help us swell with pride. ln the spring of our junior year when we had about lapped up all the knowledge we thought was possible. we sharpened our claws in order that we might be ready to pounce on any senior honors coming our way. Now we were ready to take over the position of ever mighty senior cats. During our senior year we have flashed out our bril- liance and rushed to our new 'obs as officers of clubs and to our positions on the Hi-Life Gazette and Hi-Life An- nual staffs. which we fought for as juniors. ln the way of entertainment we presented the senior minstrel: the senior play, The Home Fronters: and we rolled in the aisles when the annual staff gave Gabriel Blow Your Horn. All along we have worked hard, but along with the work we have had our fun. Many different clubs have given dances-the Girl Reserve dance. R.O.T.C. Military Ball, the Chevron Club formal. Service Club dance, the music class dance. College Relations Club formal, and to top it all our Prom. Oh! how wonderful! For many days the juniors planned, and the seniors snooped about trying to get just an inkling of what they were plannin : but the juniors would not give one tiny morsel. Finally tae big night arrived. How simply marvelous! This year for the first time the American Rolling Mill sponsored a radio program over WCMI on which different classes. clubs. and organizations presented a program each Tuesday. This program was sponsored in order to give citizens of Ashland a better understanding of the students of A.H.S. Eddie Carr. president of the Dramatics Club. has served as master of ceremonies on each of these programs. As we come to commencement we feel that the wobbly-legged kittens who entered as freshmen have grown to strutting. sturdy-legged cats, who will leave their mark on the world.
