OF '42 CLASS HISTORY It was the beginning of our freshman year that our class, under the sponsorship ot Mr. Rec Gonser and Miss Francis Lough, and led by Alex Topping, president, Kenneth Olson, vice-president, and lane Hanson secre- tary-treasurer, together with the freshman council of home room representa- tives, decided that for our Skip Day we would visit our nation's capital, Washington, D. C. We realized it would be a long hard tight but we were game and started in with enthusiasm. One ot the projects started at once was our PTA bazaar, managed by Lea Thompson, that continued to run for three years and proved to be a great success. That year we also took over the annual spring paper and bottle drive and managed to have a lot ot fun while we worked. The next year we returned to school bubbling with energy and ambi- tion and started in to go places. We still had our bazaar and we added activities such as holding rummage sales, baling waste paper to sell, remov- ing the the old rough seats in the gym and installing smooth new benches K thereby saving hundreds of pairs of silk stockings from destruction J, paint- ing bleachers, holding used magazine sales-everyone working, cooperating with one goal in mind--Washington. But we rested from our labors to have an all sophomore party in the tall and a picnic in the spring. Our train was guided this year by Mr. Gonser and Miss Kari Natalie Reed, with Alex Topping as president, Lea Thompson, vice-president, and lane Hanson as secretary-treasurer, all studying the time-table and helping us keep onthe right track. As upper classmen, our leaders were Alex Topping, president, lack Gunn, vice-president, Edith Van Andel, treasurer, and Dawn Saari, secre- tary. Our thoughts turned to lighter things and we decided to trip the light fantastic this year, so we started out with junior dancing lessons in the early part of the year. But we did not forget our work. To the flourishing bazaar project, now managed by Evelyn Miklas, we added candy sales. Some of us were still baling waste paper, selling advertising for football programs, and working at the new pop stand opened in school, and at Christ- mas time our class brightened Manistee and vicinity by singing Christmas carols for all who would listen. Pill this was interspersed with roller skating parties throughout the year. Hnd in the spring, our I-Hop, with the gym dec- orated lovelier than ever, being in patriotic motif. Our class was the first to institute the idea of doing something tor those who were unable to go to the I-Hop, and gave two theatre parties for them. As seniors we rounded the last curve of the track and Washington was STRIVE ON 29
