That day so long looked forward to is upon us, and as we go on toward it we cast a backward look rather wistfully! If we could only be freshmen again, and have that green freshman look. With that frame of mind and station, we would play joyfully throughout the year, with never but one serious thought in our minds. What is that? Why, electing officers like the big folks. Well, who shall be our officers? Don Baston is very good-looking, and he ' d be a good one, too. Let ' s nominate him. In this manner, we name our officers. They are Don Baston, presi¬ dent; Charles Stierwalt, vice-president; Harriet Duckworth, secretary-treasurer. And now we think since we can ' t be Freshmen, how grand it would be if we could be Sophomores. We know everything, then. Don Baston is still rather handsome, so let ' s nominate him again. In this way, we elect our Sophomore officers. We think Charles Stierwalt is good-looking, too, because we change only our secretary-treasurer. This office falls to capable Dale Maxwell. This year we also have a party. Since it looks as if our wishes to be Sophomores again cannot be realized, we gladly change places with the Juniors. As Juniors we are becoming a little more serious, aided, perhaps, by the war. Al¬ though the unrest of the world disturbs us, we carry on as usual. In our elections we choose Bob Barnard for president; Bill Hasting for vice-president; Joan Wampler for secretary; Mary Jane Jackson for treasurer. This year we present our class play, which is New Fires . We also entertain the seniors at the annual prom. However, we must resign ourselves to being sen¬ iors, and as such we attack all problems with due thought. We elect officers. They are Don Baston another third term president; Roy Winkler, vice- president; Mary Jane Jackson, secretary; Barbara Bain, treasurer. As we go on through our last year, we carry out the activities of seniors. Each activity brings a new meaning in our lives, and we hope to leave our school a little better for our having been here. 18
