SENIUR GLASS OFFICERS The SEITTUT MESS UTTTCETS after a conference to appoint committees for Commencement activi- ties. They are Clinton Hoffman, Vice-President: George Taylor, Treasurer: Gladys liud- wig. Secretary: Paul Hauh, President: and Richard Shaffer, Historian. CLASS HISTORY As the Class of 7444 we began our high school career with 136 freshmen eager to discover what kind of acti- vities and opportunities lay ahead of us. Although somewhat limited in our choice of extra curricular organi- zations, nevertheless we managed to make ourselves known. Among the ninth graders were several band and orchestra members. Fifty-five freshmen girls were active in the Girl Reserves and the first five men of the junior high basketball team were freshmen. As sophomores we were more con- fident than we had been the previous year, and we received our first experi- ences in serving on committees for the social affairs of the school. The boys took a more active part in the athletic program, and the girls be- gan to earn the number of points re-- quired to make them eligible for the G. A. A. At the end of the year we were given the opportunity to try out for staff positions on uThe Hilltopfi thus starting a career in school news- paper work which would continue until graduation. 26 Uur third year proved a busy and most interesting one. Vve sponsored the annual Christmas dance, and the dramatic ability of certain members of our class was shown by the pre- sentation of a very successful junior play. The future journalists among us gained valuable experience in newswriting on the editorial staff of the Hilltop, and some of the boys were chosen to manage the business affairs of the paper. Four of our varsity basketball players were elec- ted to the National Athletic scholar- ship Society and five juniors were c'iosen for t'1e National Honor So- ciety. Wve looked forward to the biggest social event of the year, the ,lunior-Senior Prom, and with the seniors, helped to make it a memor- able event. It was in our senior year that we discovered the responsibilities which must be shouldered by the upper- classmen. As leaders in the school we had to set a good example for the other classes to follow. We hope that we have succeeded in this pur- pose.

As in other years, there were mem- bers of our class on the varsity foot- ball and basketball teams. Five of our outstanding athletes were elected to the National Athletic Scholarship Society. There were fourteen mem- bers chosen by a faculty committee for the National Honor Society. The editorial and business staffs of the Hilltop were taken over by the members of the Journalism Club, and another important activity, the edit- ing of our Annual, was undertaken. Because of its unusual style, many of our seniors for weeks thought only in terms of their Lion assignments. This year we served on most of the committees for the dances and our class omcers were chosen to head the committees for the ,lunior-Senior Prom. As the time for our graduation nears, we are beginning to realize how much our school life has meant to us, and the experiences which we have had will not soon be forgotten.
