History of Class of '41 Little did we realize that we were making history for ourselves when we entered the Saxton Liberty High School building on the beginning of September, 1937, as Freshmen. We did make four years of history for Saxton Liberty and this history will probably not be known to the world but to U3 it is a vital part of our lives. It played a great part in molding into us the qualities which are possessed, although some of our class possess more than others and this difference is due to the effort that we have individually put in. As Freshmen we entered the building bewildered at the sight of every- thing new. We wondered at what new experiences we were going to be pushed into. Y»’e entered as groups from Saxton Borough, Liberty Township, Cherrytown and Coalmont Borough. After a few days we became accostomed to the a torn sphere and came to the conclusion that everything was going to be full of excitement and we really became part of the school. We each stuck to our own group, each group at their own corner, but we soon found out that it was much more fun to' associate. Our Sophomore class was increased with t he addition to students from Carbon Township who had been formerly gone to Dudley High School. Our Junior year ended the three years of underclassmen, and it seemed to fly by unnoticed. It was a year full of social gatherings. The moonlight hike, the hay ride, and various other functions which proved very successful. The Junior-Senior Prom proved to bo at the peak of our social activities. Mr. William Hopkins, our coach and health instructor and Hiss Dorothy Patton the Home Economics teacher • have taken the places of Mr. Graham and Miss Albright who have taught their last year at Saxton Liberty when we were Sophomores. As the Senior Class of '41 we entered the high school in September 1940 and our class again increased with the addition of a group from Dudley High School. Members of our class have been loyal members of the-, football and basketball teams. The Seniors have been very active as members of the Varsity Club which is it's second year of existence in Saxton Liberty. In the field of music the Orchestra, the Dutch Band and the Octett have been orgainized and its success is due partly to the Seniors not mentioning the Band and Chorus. Conti nued on Page 24. 26 -
