That's that room right off the gym, down the steps and to your left. Yeah, that's a queer place for 1t, but Just trust us, freshicf' And we did. Consequently, we gave ourselves a few embarrassing moments' such as walking into the pool. Then, too, the class of 1944 came in the rugged way with drinking fountains, lipstick, rolled-up trousers, and VVanna ride, frcshic? Before our warm welcome at Clinton high, the class of '44 had elected Richard Cosgrove as president. Edgar Jones, Mary K. Ivcrsen, Jacqueline Justis and William Andrews were already known as the class brains. As an indication of what they could do, the freshmen presented Thcrc's Always Buford. Leading Twenty

roles were taken by Joan Hammer, Verne Madsen, Robert Woods, and Mar- jorie Bowersox. In the same mass meeting Joan Lee, Robert Cavanaugh, and Donald Torr showed what good dancers our class could boast. Carol Saxton was freshman attendant to the queen in our biggest Home- coming. That was the year of the pageant On Our Way, in which many mem- bers of the class took part, and Mr. Okey made his C.H.S. debut. Many remember parties at the Barn, the melodramas that the boys put on for Hoor shows, nights at the library feverishly assembling data for debates in Hop Findley's social science classes, and the plant for Mrs. J. D. Van Whip- plebottom, which left the assembly in stitches. When it came to sports, we were represented by Bob Gill, Brownie Brown, and Dwight Price. Sophomore year proved the usual anti-climax, after all the fuss made over us as freshmen. VVe were not the forgotten class for long, as our part in Corn- zapoppin put us back in the limelight. When the football season rolled around, we elected Merna Hall as our football attendant. Mert was also Homecoming and Gateway Classic attendant that year. A never-to-be-forgotten event was the faculty-varsity basketball game, where Mr. Koestler's white shorts were the hit of the evening. That was the year we lost Don and Minnie Torr to St. Louis. Then came junior year and the thrill of being upperclassmen. President J. C. Cjunior Carnivalj Munson was the man of the hour, and the Carnival and the Prom were the big events for us. Keith Brown and Janis Gumstrup were elected king and queen of both Carnival and Prom. The Prom attendants were ,Ioan Hammer and Dick Cosgrove, joan Cahill and David Townsend, Betty Wein- beck and Verne Madsen, and joan Lee and Dwight Price. Verne Madsen played the lead in a school play, Ever Since,Eve, and Benny Bendixen, Bob Woods, Joan Hammer, and Joan Lee had important parts. BBB QBig Beautiful Brutel Dick Triplett left us for the navy that year. Before we realized it, we were seniors, weighted down with responsibilities and that last time feeling about everything-Homecoming, with Rosalie Jost as queen and Janis Grumstrup as senior attendant, the last football game, the last basketball game. Brownie, Price, and Hofacre were still the athletic stars. Dave Kirkman now dismissed us to fourth hour classes or to lunch if we were lucky. The D.A.R. and Citizen of Tomorrow awards went to Elsie Payson and Carol Saxton. Phil Feddersen, class president, supervised the sponsoring of the Gateway classic dance and bond raffle to raise funds for a class gift. Queen of the Classic was Grumpy with Bobbette VVagoner, a newcomer in our junior year, as senior attendant. The majority of the class held jobs outside of school and had less time than the traditional carefree high school youth for social life and extracurricular activity. The class of ,44 isn't being graduated in a rosy glow of idealistic hopes and vague illusive dreams. As far ahead as we can see, there's nothing but hard work and responsibility and sacrifice, particularly for the boys. But, we don't find it too depressing, for there's inspiration to be gained from the responsibility in our hands. Then, we have a host of memories, poignant as such memories are, of good times, good friends, lessons learned not from books alone, and we have the proud feeling of having taken from and having contributed to a great school.
