Klum, Jlzlafn ln the fall of I943, 37 Freshmen, commonly known to all upper classmen as greenies, entered McComb High School. After several somewhat bewildering days, we got ourselves organized and elected the following officers: President, Shirley Rider, Vice President Rich- ard Rader, Secretary, Virginia Norway, Trea- surer, Maxine Houk. For our advisor we chose Mr. King. Several weeks after school started the dreaded day of all Freshmen arrived, Ini- tiation! lt was held in the form of a Burn to which the whole high school came, and really wosn't bad at all. Later this year we chose our class flowers, the red and white car- nation, and for our class colors we chose red and white. We selected for our motto We Strive Not To Equal But To Excel. During the year we enjoyed two class parties. One held at the municipal building, the other at the school- house. This year we were sorry to lose Charles Miller to the Navy. On September 5, I944, we came back to high school as sophisticated Sophomores with 36 members answering the roll call. Dur- ing this year we were sorry to lose Walter Lat- ta, Leanna Mercer, who moved to Rudolph, and Charles Fisher, but we were glad to wel- come Parlee Bovee and Eleanore Sparrowe, and Leroy Lovell as new members of the class. The first week of school we chose the following of- ficers to lead us through the year: President, Richard Rader, Vice-President, Eddie Cosner, Secretary-Treasurer, John Dishong, and Re- porter, Leanna Mercer. To be our advisor we elected Mr. Braden. We held a very success- ful ghost party this year at Cleola lnbody's. ln the spring, we enjoyed a party at the home of Eileen Coakley. This spring twelve of our members were chosen to serve at the Junior- Senior Banquet. Quite a few of our boys were active in sports this year and we were well represented in other activities. September of '45 finds us back again as Juniors. How time fliesl We were glad to welcome into our class this year Martha Wil- liams, Bob Buckmaster, and Burdette Jacobs. We missed the familiar faces of Doris Mapes and Leroy Lovell, and later in the year we were sorry to lose Bob Buckmaster and Joan Bishop. For our class officers we chose as President, Dan Bennett, Vice-President, Jean Blanch- ard, Secretary-Treasurer, Eileen Coakley, Re- porter, Kathryn Russell, and Historian, Wilma Farthing. As our advisor we chose Miss Schuck. We enjoyed two successful parties this year. We held a Halloween party at Ralph Miller's. The main event was our host Hogan dressed as a fortune teller, trying to make us believe there were such things as ghosts and spirits. A successful outdoor party and wiener roast was held at the home of Shirley Rider. ln November, we presented the three-act comedy, Aunt Tillie Goes To Town. The play was well received by every- one. On May l l, we entertained the Seniors at the Elks in Findlay, using a Chinese theme throughout for our banquet. We served as ushers at the Senior's Baccalaureate and at their Commencement, formed a Guard of Honor for them. This year our boys were quite important in sports and girls and boys were both well represented in the music organiza- tions along with many other activities. On September 3 we find 36 boys and girls entering high school as seniors, quite sure of themselves and feeling just a little superior to the underclassmen. For our class officers, in this our last year, we selected the follow- ing: President, Dan Bennett, Vice President, John Dishong, Sec'y-Treas., Eileen Coakley, Reporter, Jean Blanchard, and Historian, Doris Mapes. For our advisors this year we had Mr. Pees and Mr. Clapper. We were glad to have Doris Mapes back with us again, after having been ill for a year. We were also glad to welcome into our class Max Clark and Gene Miller, who came back to finish school after serving in the armed forces, and Suzanne Lee. We were sorry to lose two of our mem- bers, Virginia Norway and Lucille Andonian. We had three very successful parties this year. One was a Christmas party held at Miriam Berry's. The second party was held at the schoolhouse. Everyone made themselves at home and had a wonderful time. We played several games which included truth or con- sequences. The last party of the year was an Easter party. On September ll we initiated the Freshmen at the high school burn. May 2 we gave our Senior play Worrying Willie which proved a great success. On the l6th of May we held Senior Recognition Day at Chapel. The Juniors very ably entertained us at a banquet on May l7. Our Baccalaureate Services were held on May l8th. On May Zl , we find ourselves assembled to- gether for the last time as a class. We look back with pride over our accomplishments in the last four years, and hope we will be able to prove ourselves worthy when at last we enter the world on our own.
