3Jn iHemoriam Catherine Hall Born July 15, 1924, passed away October 25, 1941. She entered Bayard High School in 1938 and attended until the time of her illnesss. The Senior Class remembers her as a good friend and loyal classmate. Recall the year 1938 when the seniors of today were just beginning to storm the portals of Bayard High to win fame and knowledge. It was raining that first September day. but the atmosphere couldn’t dim the spirits or slow down the tempo of the fast beating hearts of the Freshmen. We all felt that it was an illustrious battle begun and one, that to have a successful ending would take sacrifice, work, determination, and grit. No real victory is won easily so we bravely began our march toward the day when a diploma would be presented. Bob Johnson was our First Lieutenant and Mrs. Baird was our regimental mother, a position she held loyally throughout our High School years. During our Sophomore year, members of our class became outstanding in various activities and many a memory lingers from the good times at class picnics and parties. Harold Black led us into the Junior year. Upperclassmen, we were now, and big things were ahead. The class play, “A Stranger Passes” was a successful event. We went “sailing” through the banquet given in honor of the seniors. To aid the First Lieutenant, Marie Kirk, through this difficult year were Miss Morgan and later. Miss Doll. We stuck to our guns and the year of 19 11 found us ready to fight our last battle in school as Seniors. This imporant year had Regina Herrmann as First Lieutenant: Miss Fortna as Commanding Officer; and Mrs. Baird as our gracious regimental mother. Soon, high school will be but a memory—a memory we ll never forget. We are being graduated into a world, different from that entered into by classes of the past. It is a world full of misery and suffering but this Isn’t going to defeat us. Wey the seniors, are going to march shoulder to shoulder with millions of others. We will have no prejudices against anvone, for only in this way can we dispel the darkness that’s blanketing the world. There will be new hope in our eyes and the dawn will come peacefully to a free, brave people. So here’s to America. We are pledegd to you with our hands, hearts, and lives, to carry on through difficult days. In February, Leo Vera, one of our senior boys, left our ranks to join the U. S. armv in the struggle for victory. We regretted to see him leave but we know that he is fulfilling his duty as an American citizen. Phyllis Fritz
