Guess what! At convocation period the school was awarded the minute CIGAZVZ CH' 74 Dear G. I foe: In my last letter I told you that school would start on September 5, well I was right. You should have seen all the green freshies. , The classes elected their officers on Tuesday, that was the 26th, and everyone was pleased to hear that Eldon Colton, Paul Lampert, Jim Fritch, and Charles Renneisen were chosen as the respective class Presidents. Gosh, I never told you about the Junior class party and the scary G.A.A. initiation, did I? There have been so many things doing I can hardly keep on the ball. For instance, Band tickets went on sale, Student Council officers were elected, and the first school dance was held land what a timell Oh yes, we had a free day while the teachers went to the Teachers' Institute. Some lucky kids went to a Press Convention at Franklin. Clubs were re-organized and every- thing's underway. The Senior girls got hooked into taking First Aid, but I'm not saying that it won't help. I wish you could have been here to see the cheer-leaders try out . It was loads of fun! We had a big pep rally downtown and all the kids were yelling their lungs out. The Juniors chose their class sweaters and the Seniors got to choose their class rings. At the Washington game they crowned the Queen and I wish you could have seen the attendants. lJust between you and me they looked like something that stepped out of Vogue l. man flag. I we're all so proud of itl. The Glee Club gave a Christmas Cantata and after they presented it Mr. Miller told us we could go home until January I, 1945. In January the Rhythmlads played at convocation and all the Senior girls swooned over Always . The Seniors also gave a Reversia party. You'll be interested to know that the Seniors had their pictures taken, and the results were very good. We had a magician here and he was really super. During February, we had quite a few interesting programs, Mr. Singh, from China, Mr. Reed, who talked to the Government classes, and a movie called '.'Personality and Charm . Of course the Wildcats were leaping ahead all this time and played at the Sectional, Regional, and Semi-Finals. March seemed so very far oFl but now that it's here I know you'Il want to hear about all the activities during the month. Oh! Father Green came to tell us about China. Now that Lent is over all of the kids went on a rampage. The Rhythmlads played for a convocation period again and Raymond Birk sang. All the kids got a big kick out of having their pictures taken for the annual. The G.A.A. presented a Dance Review with a HUNDRED beautiful girls! The last month of the school year was packed with surprises and loads of fun. On May l0th the school was given a holiday. The seniors took their semester tests earlier than the rest of the school and were given a few days oft before the end of school. Commencement was held on the 29th. School's over! Good-by to the Seniors - Hello to the new Freshmen. The Siualenf Boaly
