1943 'EDMU '5 History of the Class of T943 lt's hard for us who now are leaving to say good-by to a truly grand schoole-a school to which we've become fondly attached. But we have had our time, we must move on to make room for another senior class, we must go out in the world and offer our services where they are so greatly needed. While we were here, though, we left our mark-quite an impressive record, in fact. It was on September 6, 1940, that the Allentown High School saw for the first time the boys and girls who were to make up the Class of '43. Traditionally, we were as scared as any other group of sophs, but, actually, we quickly moved into the regular high school life, and soon we found ourselves an important part of the organizations and activities. By pushing the upperclassmen for places on the athletic teams and even beating them to parts in the Inter-class play and positions on the staff of the Canary and Blue, we established a reputation as a hustling class, with George Stavridis president. Our iunior year saw us continuing our progress, staging one successful event after another. The Junior Prom was said to have been one of the largest ever held, the Junior Class Play, Growing Pains, saw a capacity house heartily enioy a rollicking comedy and the athletic teams were experiencing changes in their lineups as juniors battled for and won starting positions. Again we held our own in competition with the other classes, capturing parts in the Inter-class play, Ever Since Eve, and attaining prominence in other school activities. The organization of the new Air Raid Precaution system saw iuniors given responsible posts. Later we showed our unity by collecting class dues, the first Junior Class to do so for many years. This was under the presidency of George Gebert. When we returned as seniors, we came with the manifest realization that we were a part of a nation at war. A great many changes in our school life were to be noted, but with our customary spirit of cooperation, we did our utmost to adiust ourselves to the new conditions. As usual, we staged a class play, another fine performance, entitled Every Family Has One. Then there was that sensational Turkey Day battle against Bethlehem, with the tying touchdown scored in the last three seconds of play. Yes, and we experienced oher thrilling moments-at basketball games, in the classroom, and faced with more serious momentse-work to be done, decisions to be made, and we enioyed a few lighter moments-a bit of fun, a bit of laughter. We learned from each moment, from all of them, and found the sum to be A. H. S. Although our senior year was more or less broken up by the demands of war- bythe draft and by rationing, we have struggled through until we now stand at the thres- hold of our future. But a greater struggle still confronts us, we are determined to be victorious in it. While at A. H. S. we have made friendships, conquered hardships, gained nvaluable experience-factors which may prove decisive in the battle of life. Page Fourteen
