OUR JUNIORS . . . SOPHISTICATES . . THE Junior class of 1942 as it looks back over the past eleven years can recall many pleasant memories of the first six grades. Junior High School introduced us to our future high school years. We were kept busy in our Freshman and Sophomore years trying to make money, and entering into new activities such as scholarship and other clubs which were barred from us in our earlier years. We have enjoyed our Junior year more than any other so far. It has been our busiest and most interesting year also. We began the social part of it by giving a high school dance. Next came the Junior play which was a big success. The money made from these enterprises was used to give the Junior-Senior reception which proved to be quite different from those of past years. We picked our class rings and pins in February and received them in March. We are looking forward to an interesting and a very busy senior year. We hope that it will be as successful as this one has been. — Cora Louise Dodds — Betty Wadsworth THE 1 942 PIRATAN

The class of '44 started school life under the direction of Miss Brumbaugh, the kindergarten supervisor. The next four years served to accustom us to the way of school life. Changing classes was an interesting experience starting in the fifth grade. Sixth grade commencement was the high light of the year. In the seventh and eighth grades the girls were allowed to join the Junior Girl Reserves. Our Freshman year is especially remembered by the fact that we could choose our own subjects. During this Freshman year the class earned money by selling pencils and refreshments at basketball games; also the class was allowed to participate in the scholarship tests at Miami University. Our present Sophomore Class is becoming very prominent in sports, musical, and scholastic activities. Our supervisors this year have been Miss Arnold and Mr. Croy.

WE, THE Senior Class, began our battle in the field of education in 1930, at West Carrollton. Under the kind and gentle guidance of Miss Wellbaum, Miss Shepard, Miss Martz, and Miss Boling, we struggled through the first two years of our school life. In the second grade we organized a toy band under the direction of Miss Boling. In the third grade we studied birds and organized an Audubon Society. Miss Shaffer was the interesting leader of this club. The most outstanding event of the fourth grade was a hike, which Miss Beal supervised. I am sure none of us will ever forget this hike. In the fifth and sixth grades, we changed classes for the first time, years was graduation into Jr. High. We we SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS AND COUNCIL FIRST ROW — Bottom — Left to Right — Mary Jean Blackburn, Priscilla Solomon, Wilma Bowden. SECOND ROW —Tommy Linville. Lee Michael. Bruce Williams, Jack Miller. ABSENT — Marabelle Cantrell. Our biggest aim during these two s the last class to graduate in the old auditorium. We finally arrived in junior high. By this time we were accustomed to changing classes. In the eighth grade we organized a student council under the leadership of Miss Eck. The seventh and eighth grades prepared us for high school. BVT Se U(VM STUDENTS WISE As soon as we entered high school we were subjected to many new adventures. There were clubs such as Girl Reserves and G. A .A. for the girls, and Hi-Y for the boys. Also, there were many social events for us to attend. Dances and parties took up much of our time. Although we were separated in our freshman and sophomore years, we remained at heart, one class. We tried in every way to raise money which we would need in our junior and senior years. All during our junior year we looked forward to the Junior-Senior Reception when we would bid the seniors goodbye. During this year we gave our Junior Play., Professor, How Could You,? which was a tremendous success. In the spring we ordered our class rings and there was much anxiety until they were delivered. Finally, we are Seniors. We have come to the end of our struggle. This has been the busiest year of all. We chose our pictures, announcements, and name cards, and then, of course, there were the Senior Play and the Operetta, in which many of our fellow-seniors took part. Out of the class that entered the first grade in 1930, only twelve are still attending school here. They are: Mary Jean Blackburn, Marabelle Cantrell, Evelyn Gassert, Evelyn Gustin, Betty Ohler, Reva Oliver, Norma Weldy, Paul Holliday, Junior Linville, Jack Miller, Darwin Robinette, and Charles Thomas. However, many new ones have been added along the way. At the end of our senior year we have forty members who have succeeded in this big task. As a grand finale we had our Senior Prom, which ended the best twelve years of our life. — Shirley Pope — Wilma Bowden THE 1 942 PIRATAN
