Mr Gilson Adv1sor Phyllis Merrill, Faith Brabbs, Treasurer Secretary B111 Grost, Romayne Hicks, President Vice-President There entered into the Wonderland of high school days in September, 1938, a group of students. They were then small, inconspicuous, lowly sophomores. They are still among our ranks, only have advanced to front position as the Senior graduating class of june 1941. The girls, in those days that remain now but a pleasant memory, were introduced to their new educational palace through the Sophomore Girls' Tea. The class celebrated its promotion from the depths of Sophomortorium by the Mixer, Sweetheart Swing, February 17, with class officers Paul Gregg, Maxine Merritt, Nell Ray, and Anne Porter leading the grand march. On April 13, Tropical Fantasyn gloriously announced to the world that we arrived at the half-way mark, one year behind us, another yet to go. At marching time, Paul, Chairman Bill Grost, Mary Huff, Faith Brabbs, and Anne were in front positions. Mr. Gilson had taken the position as class advisor as we entered into the Junior world and his excellent guidance was evident in this most successful hop. Having thus completed two sweeps of the pendulum we started our Senior year raising Prize Pigs -our class play-a comedy as light, amusing, and unexpected as the name would denote. The spring finds us busy at all the tasks that constitute diversified Senior activities. Our prom on May 24, Mexicana Fiesta, was the opening of our commencement social program. Senior night, the girls' breakfast, baccalaureate, and then the fateful night of graduation, and the class of June '41 treads a well beaten path into the undefinable future which contains the answers to their dreams, their hopes, their aspirations.
