- .- sa JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY The Class of '44 began its Freshman year with a total of 101 students. At its first class meeting, officers were elected and the motto, 'fClimb, though the rocks be rugged, was chosen. There were two special events which took place during the term. The first was a visit to the 1941 Farm Show, and the second was a weiner roast held at Greenwood Furnace. At the opening of the school term in which these Freshies had been promoted to Sophomores, there were 97 students in the class. This was the first Sophomore class ever to be divided into Academic and Commercial sec- tions. Although the yearswas eventful for all, we shall never forget that it took with it the lives of three of our best loved classmates-Patty Wriglit, Harold Mitchell, and Cora Ellen Truscott. With the beginning of another new school year, the Class of '44 was composed of 67 Juniors. The term was rather broken, due to the rationing program, and many of our teachers were called to service in the Army. Never- theless, it was a busy time, with the selection of pennants and the choosing of class rings. Preparations for the Junior Play, Everybody Works but Fatherf, began in the early part of the second semester. After three weeks of hard work on the part of the cast, under the direction of Mr. VVagner, it was pre- sented. and was a real success.
