Q' 'I In the fall of 'Ll we entered Allegan High over 120 strong. As all classes before us, we were green, but under the guiding hand of the Seniors we sailed along. They gave us a Lelcome Party and we tried to show our thanks by giving them a Farewell Party on April 2b. A dues-contest between home rooms was used as a means of earning money to meet the expenses of the big event. committees for the dance were as follows: refreshments, Dean Ferris and Dean McLaughling decor- ations, Eleanor Long, Joan Allen, and Margie Lee Luna, entertainment, Jack Mclntire. A NStardustN theme was carried out in the decorations. Officers for the year were: president, Jack Mclntireg vice- president, Margie Lee Luna: treasurer, Kenneth Chamberlain: secretary, Jane Ann Powers, and advisor, Mr. Lauth. We started our sophomore year by electing officers as follows: president, Ray Flynn: vice-president, Kenneth Wells, secretary, Fred Bindemanng treasurer, Marion Young: and advisor, Mrs. Cheney. In January we gave a dance to help the dues-drive. This was a success under the guidance of the following committees: decorations and ad- vertising, Margie Lee Lune and Eleanor Long, refreshments, Mary Ellen Cavanaugh, Dean McLaughlin, Joan Allen, and Dean Ferris. Late in the year, because of the war, we had to rearrange our schedules. The ex- perience was new for all of us. September, l9L3, and back we came to good old Allegan High as Jolly Juniors. The first thing of importance was the election of these officers: president, Dean McLaughlin, vice-president, Mary Ellen Cavanaughg secretary, Louise Terry, treasurer, Margaret Anne Kaecheleg and advisors, Miss Witner and Mr. Stauffer. Our Junior Play, 'Spring Fever,N was so successful, that it was the only project we needed to undertake for the financing of the Junior-Senior Banquet. Betty Lange, social chairman, took charge of planning the annual affair, with her group she appointed the following committee chairmen: decorations, Mary Rockwell, floor show, Muriel Wetmore: orchestra, Joan Allen: food, Louise Terry: and invitations and programs, Eleanor Long and Margie Lee Luna. The Pan-American theme was carried out in the decorations and programs. The banquet was held May 12 in the Griswold Auditorium, with a very fine orchestra furnishing the music for dancing. September, l9bL . . . Sophisticated Seniors. Our ranks had fallen to about ninety, and we felt anything but sophisticated . . . and the thought that uThis is our lest year' brought on a rather queer feeling. The fact that the Senior Play, WHeart Trouble,n was a smash- ing hit lifted our spirits no end. On February 1, five of our boys, Bernard Mankin, William Hileski, Walter Garrett, Ogden Hotchkiss, and Kenneth Wells joined the armed services. As a fitting climax to our high school days, the Baccalaureate Service was held June 3, and Commencement exercises on June 7.
