HISTORY OF THE FEBRUARY CLASS OF '41 .f5f'X, N February 8, just four years ago, fifty-six bewildered, yet all-important freshmen entered the portals of Dormont High School. Although during their first year they obediently stayed under the jurisdiction of their thoughtful, guiding teachers, the envious upper-classmen could see the great quality that this small group possessed. fNo one bought an elevator ticketlj Our sophomore year gave us more op- portunities to show our talents. 1We sold a magazine.J Also, social activities began to attract us and we held a dance in the gym fthat night the boys were taught to dancel. It was also in this period of our great educational career that We held the first of our annual picnics. As juniors, we proved ourselves the best ever, or to come. We rightfully took over all the organizations and made them the wonderful groups they are today. We did the best job, without a murmur, filling the offices and giving the clubs the best material to work with that they had ever had. We are truly proud of our junior year. fjust ask us!J The class of February '41 will never be thought of as anything else but the best class that Dormont ever lost. Our class play, American Passport, was the greatest success in the history of Dormont, and was then followed by the loveliest prom known to be held by a group of Dormont students. We held elections for class officers and made four of the loveliest students the official commanders of the class, namely: Russ Haller, president-jim Glass, vice-president-Inez Hundertmark, secretary-and john Diederich, treasurer. To finish things up in a manner that was only due to our class, we were the first class to graduate from the new gym. But all our successes did not mar our characters, but instead, we left D. H. S. the same busi- ness-like, talented, modest, little class that had entered four years previously.
