lunior Class Coming through the mazes of the underclasses, this year's junior class proudly boasts an outstanding group of scholars, athletes, and musicians. In the athletics division are Robert Burns, William Pratt, Wayne Hobson, and many others. On all the teams there is at least one junior, and often more. In boy's and girl's glee club, sextet, and mixed chorus, the junior class is well repre- sented. The mezzo-soprano soloist was Pearl Burton, a junior. The main concern of the class was the raising of money for the big social event of the year, the Iunior-Senior Prom. The class sold candy and popcorn at football and basket- ball games, took in money from the junior class play, and sold refreshments at the high school dances. The Prom was based on a Navy theme. Dorothy Overturf starred in the Iunior class play, Early To Bed, Early To Rise. The class looks back across a happy, prosperous year and awaits the forthcoming one, knowing, that though they can never take the present seniors' place in the heart of Tama High School, they will try to live up to the high standards placed before them. Sophomore Class As the class of 1943 reaches the half-way mark in its educational voyage through Tama High School, it looks eagerly ahead to the remaining two years, trusting that they will provide a fitting climax to many years devoted to the building of character, a schol- arship, and service. The sophomore class sponsored a picnic at the beginning of the school year for the freshman class, as well as a sophomore class party later in the year. The class of forty-three is unusually outstanding in the representation which it holds in athletics, dramatics, and music. Iohn Thill, Bill Corns, Duane Cory, and Frank Har- don have won recognition in athletics. Bill Platt has well represented his class in declamatory work, going tothe pre-district contest before being defeated. Many mem- bers of the class have been members of the musical organizations open to them. The sophomore class sincerely hopes to make achievements which will be worthy of four great years in THS, achievements which will be worthy of the largest class ever to enter Tama High School. In Memory of MELVIN E. HARTZ March, 1924 - May 3, 1941 Freshman Class We, the freshman class of 1940-41, have enjoyed the past nine months of our fresh- man year very much. We feel it an honor and a privilege to be able to enter such a fine school. Throughout the school year We have thoroughly enjoyed the fine entertainment pro- tgidlpd lby the athletes, the musicians, and the dramatic department of Tama High c oo. Many freshmen have participated in the various activities provided by the school. We are proud of them and of their work in these various organizations, and wish to ex- press our appreciation to the school for providing them. When we leave our freshman year behind, there will be many happy memories still lingering in our mind. We have enjoyed the first nine months in Tama High School very much and hope that the freshman class next year will have as fine a time during their year with the teachers and upper classmen as we have had.
