Page Thirty-Four aiu CLASS HISTORY In September 1940 the Class of "44" bravely entered the halls of Elkton High School. We soon conquered our fear of teachers and upper classmen, became accustomed to a new life, and turned our attention to studies. Miss Bratton, Mr. Philips, Miss Bowers, and Mr. Young directed this group of mischievous, energetic freshmen. This new life was pleasing to us. The boys felt quite proud when they turned out the most amazing cookie-cuters and broom racks, while the girls were delighted with their cookies and tea. That year the parents and teachers were entertained at a tea given by these young ladies and their sophomore class mates. In the spring of "41" the boys and girls had an opportunity to display their handiwork at a Fashion Show and Industrial Arts Exhibit. Of ,course we all remember the assembly given in the first year. How could we forget it! The show went on, despite the laughter and criticism of the audience. Several members of the class were honored at being selected for the Elhisco staff in its beginning year. These were Mary Etta Rudolph, John Kelley, and Robert McBride. Do certain members of the 1940-41 1-A class remem-ber the day they hooked? ? We believe it was the dentist-or was it Lyon's? The big event of the year for all freshmen was the Freshmen Party. A Wonder- ful time was had by all. The attractions of the evening were dancing, ping-pong and, of course, refreshments. At the close of the year the class officers were elected as follows: President, John Sclavosg Vice-President, Jack Murray, Secretary, Frances Lusbyg Treasurer, Mary Etta Rudolph. Before we could realize that our freshman year had come to a close we found that we were full-fledged sophomores. Unfortunately we lost several members of our class but we welcomed a new member, Patricia Morgan. This year we were divided into three groups under the guidance of Miss Pethersky, Miss Hagen, and Mrs. Briggs. During this year we also became expert board washers under the direction of Miss Pethersky. Many had a chance to demonstrate their talent in the Spring Festival. The High School Band, directed by Mr. Hugh Stuart, furnished the music. There were several selections by the High School Glee Club, and the 2-A flute club under the expert direction of Miss Harkness. Remember the great surprise the 2-A music class received when Miss Harkness walked into class one day with raspberry sundaes that she had promised so many times? That was a real treat! The class odicers elected at the end of our freshman year also served in our sophomore year. Our junior year started with a "bang", 'This year was packed full of amusing and interesting events. There was never a dull moment under the direction of Miss Pitt, Mr. Merritt, and Mr. Staley. Class assemblies, which had been dropped in our sophomore year, were resumed. Will we ever forget our corny one-act play, "The Villian Still Pursued Her".? ? This was successfully put on after much delay and received many laughs, cheers fand jeersb from the audience. Of course the thrilling search for the "chimney" and "chimney hole" was enjoyed by everyone. Page Thirty-Six Something which will long remain in our memory is the Junior Prom. Remember how the decorating committee struggled for two whole days with blue crepe paper streamers and broken wires to create the sky effect? When the great moment finally arrived, the blue crepe paper, the flowers, ferns and Spanish dancers had been arranged to give a beautiful effect. The auditorium had been converted into a flowering Spanish scene. To this day, there remains a trace of a large blue spot in the middle of the iioor. This is a mark left by the class of "44", when the clean up committee tipped over a large vase of water on a huge pile of blue crepe-paper!! One of the biggest events of the year was the "Minstrel Show" which was written and directed by Mr. Stuart. Many of our class took part in this show. Some were black end men, some played in the band and many of the girls sang in the glee club. This show, which was noted for its genuine corn, was enjoyed by all. Several members of our class played in the dance orchestra which was organized this year and played for our class assembly. Of course the junior year meant class rings. These were hard to get but by putting in an early order most of us managed to get one. Our junior class officers were: President, John Sclavosg Vice-President, Jane Martenisg Secretary, Nancy McCoolg Treasurer, Kenneth Bouchelle. It was with a feeling of pride that we reentered the halls of E. H. S. in September of 1943, since we were now dignified OJ seniors. This year we were divided according to the course we were taking. Commercial students went to the commercial department under Miss Benton and academic and general students went to the senior home room under Miss Bowers. One of our first problems as a class was to elect the officers to carry us through our final year. After much deliberation we chose the following class executives: President, Edmund Pratt, Vice President, Barbara Evansg Secretary, Lillie Scottg Treasurer, Kenneth Bouchelle. ,Later the class of "44" decided to publish a year book. This being the first undertaking of its kind in Elkton High School, it met much discouragement. Despite many difficulties we proceeded with our plans and results have been quite successful. The Senior Prom was held on the fourteenth of January. This being the last big dance by our class, we planned elaborate decorations. The theme was "Winter Time". When our efforts to build snowmen and borrow a sleigh failed we resorted to snow- covered trees and a starry sky. With the aid of pine trees, blue crepe paper, silvery iiitter and soap, plus many hours of hard work, a realistic effect was produced. A very pleasant evening was danced away in this winter fairyland to the music of George Feary's Sailor Orchestra. After this we turned again to hard work and plans for graduation. It was necessary to make preparations early because of unsettled world conditions. Graduation announcements and name cards were the first to be ordered. Then came commencement gowns. Our selection of white gowns for the girls and blue for boys broke the E. H. S. tradition of gray. Many high lights for the senior class have yet to come. One of these will be the Spring Prom given us by the juniors. In the final rush of events before graduation will come the sermon to the graduates, class night, and the commencement which will terminate our high school careers. 3 'Page Thirty-Seven CLASS IDIQODHECY U0 yearsfrom nowj MARGOT ALBINSON ....
