Classes SENIORS The class of 1943 began their final term in Florence High School by electing class officers in September. The first major activity of the class was their participation in the Homecoming celebration. The Senior float, which was very cleverly done, won second prize in the parade. Yolanda Zarlenga was selected by the student body to be the athletic queen. The Senior Class sponsored several successful social events during the year. In October the group enjoyed a picnic at Smith Creek. Latex-in the fall they entertained the student body at a dance. The Penny Carnival, an annual event given to i-aise funds for the yeai’book, was held early in the second semester. The important social event, the Senior banquet, was enjoyed by class members and faculty. The dance which followed the banquet will always be a happy memory to those who attended. The student body and friends were entertained at three Senior programs. On Costume Day a variety program was presented by members of the class who were dressed in costumes both amusing and in keeping with the occasion. On March 19, 1943, the class play, a three act comedy entitled “Don’t Take My Penny,” delighted a large audience. In May the Class Day program featuring the traditional class will, history and prophecy was given. The two events to which every Senior looks forward occurred the last week of May. Baccalaureate services were held on Sunday, May 23, with the Reverend Edgar H. Hoffman delivering the address. Graduation exercises were held on Thursday, May 27, with the program being presented entirely by members of the Senior Class. OFFICERS FIRST SEMESTER SECOND SEMESTER Yolanda Zarlenga ...............

Early in the fall the officers planned a hayrack ride which was a definite success—ask any Junior. Then the Juniors turned their attention to the preparation of a float for Homecoming—a ship for victory. The pep and ambition of this group was shown by their lead in the War Bond and Stamp sale throughout the year and by the success of their many other activities, for example, their doll booth and their ball throwing booth at the Penny Carnival. One of the many money making schemes of the Juniors was a chili dinner at school one of those cold winter days. The success of this was shown by the number of plates that came back for second helpings. The Junior Prom! It was the outstanding social event of the school year. The theme of this delightful affair was a garden scene. With flower decorations and programs in lovely pastel colors, this dance was beautiful and in keeping with the spring season. Guests of the Juniors will long remember this enjoyable Prom. Thrills were experienced by the audience which was present on April 30 at the Junior play, “Spooky Tavern,” a three act mystery. This was the first mystery play to be presented at F. H. S. for some time, and it was voted a success by everyone who saw it. The class of ’44 are eagerly looking forward to next year when when they can proudly assume the duties and privileges of Seniors.

H S. newspaper for twenty-one years. At one time its publication was discontinued, but it was soon resumed. This year the Reflector has been distributed to F. H. S. students regularly every two weeks in spite of the fact that shortages due to war made it difficult for the staff to obtain necessary material. Several special editions were published. Among these were special editions for Christmas, Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Lincoln’s Birthday, and April Fool’s Day. Editor .................-..........-..............

At meetings Mask and Wig members study various phases of play production; namely stage sets, lighting, makeup and acting. On December 16, 1942, a public presentation of a Christmas play entitled “Why the Chimes Rang,” was given by this dramatic club. Later in the year the group presented a skit on Victory Gardens for the Florence Woman’s club. OFFICERS President ..................................-.........

It is non-secret and non-social and is devoted to furthering interest in dramatics in the secondary schools. This society has been very active during this school year, having presented two plays. A one act play, “The Villian Still Pursues Her,” was presented at the carnival of the P. T. A. of McCandless school. A three act play, “Cinderella Rose,” was given at the high school auditorium on December 11, 1942. The play was a musical comedy and was one of the most successful plays of the year. The annual play contest is sponsored by the Thespians and the plays are directed by Thespians. The main social activity of Thespians for the year was a formal banquet and party which was held in February. The Thespians year closed with an initiation and party for sophomores and juniors who were eligible for membership at the end of the year.

During the bomber campaign FH3 did its part in making possible the purchase of the Royal Gorge No. 1. Members of the National Honor Society sold defense stamps in the hall at noon. The football used in the Canon-Florence Thanksgiving game was sold for $2,200 worth of War Bonds. At the close of the basketball season, a basketball auction made the amount of War Bonds sold to athletic fans total $6,500. The most outstanding war activities of the year were the one day scrap drive and the Red Cross contribution. During the second semester a physical education program was introduced into the school curriculum. The boys were given a course in commando training. From the Commercial department, five typewriters were sold for use in the armed forces. Several patriotic assemblies given during the year stressed the importance of War Stamps and Bonds. Posters placed in classrooms and in the halls made the student body conscious that they had a very important part to play in winning the war. Autographs AtMetics PEP CLUB Back Row: KIER.

The season was opened by a game with the Centennial Bulldogs who were defeated by the Huskies, 13-0. The F. H. S. team then lost games with Central and Colorado Springs, but won from Trinidad, 7-6. Canon City played the Huskies on Palmer Field on Thanksgiving Day and managed to get the long end of the 14-12 score. The Huskies gave Homecoming fans a reward for their fine attendance by winning from Walsenburg, 32-0. Every game played was a close contest, and Husky fans were well pleased with their team’s performance throughout the season. BASKETBALL Back Row: HALL, COACH UHRLAUB, ROBINSON, UHRLAUB.

He did a nice job in holding the scores of the opponents down. “Sonny” Vento played the running guard position. “Sonny” not only helped play guard, but also helped do most of the scoring for the Florence Huskies. George Martinko held down the center position and proved to be skillful on both the offense and the defense. Jerry Uhrlaub, on the Husky team for the first time, did a fine job in a forward berth. Tony Mazzocco as forward played well in his position and did his share of scoring. The following boys also played but did not get to see quite as much action: Bob Jones. George Draper, Jack Carmichael, Billy Steele, Bob Patterson, Richard Piercy, Bob Barlen and Elvin Hall. Melvin Hathaway played forward on the team until he joined the United States Marines. The Husky Team won one game and lost eleven. The team, beat Walsenburg 29-18. The Huskies ended at the bottom of the South Central League.

Late in May, Blue and Gold Day was celebrated and a special assembly was held for the occasion. At this time, students who had earned basketball, tennis, Thespian, or honor letters, or National Honor Society pins, were presented with their awards. Prizes were given to the boy and the girl who were dressed most appropriately for the occasion. Basketball letters were presented to Joseph Vento, Jerry Uhrlaub, Bob Patterson, Lester Robinson, George Martinko, Bob Jones and Tony Mazzocco. Those receiving tennis letters were Joseph Vento, Jerry Uhi-laub, John Williams and Jack Cowperthwaite. Receiving Honor Society pins were Nellie Sasser, Helen Winsworth, Yolanda Zarlenga, Tom Kuklinsky, Lola Jean Hand. Bob Redman and Norma Berardi. The honor letters are earned by students who take active part in the extra activities that are sponsored for them. Honor points are given to them for taking part in these activities, and when they have earned 1,500 points, they are entitled to a letter. Several juniors and seniors received this desired award.
