,Wil 1G We, the June Class of 1942, take this opportunity to express our sincere apprecia- tion to Miss Thelma Varner for her whole- hearted support and helpful advice during our four years of high school. June Class History The June class of 1942 organized as 9A's with Thelma Martin as our first president, Bob VVhite, vice presidentg Alberta Austin, secretary, and McClellan Best, treasurer. Miss 'Thelma Varner was chosen class pat- roness. When the new recruits from State Street joined the forces as 1OB's, Bob Cas- sidy was elected president, Bill Sassaman filled the vice presidency, while the other two officers remained the same. As 11B's we re-elected Bob Cassidy as president and Dwight Freshley took over Billis job as vice president. The other two officers remained as before, unchanged. In the 12B election, we again placed Bob Cassidy at the head of the class with Bill Santschi as vice president. Joanne Reynolds was elected secretary, and Mac Best contin- ued to guard the treasury. Our only money making project, selling monogramed stationery for three years, fat- tened our purse considerably. When we were 11B's we gave a Hallowe'en Party at the Y. M. C. A. Marilyn Slabaugh was chairman. In traditional style, we, as 11A's, gave the graduating seniors of June 1941 their 26 prom. It was a South American Fiesta Prom, complete with Spanish senoritas, the rhum- ba, gaucho hats, and sombreros. Bob White served as general chairman. This spring we had the honor of .being given the largest prom ever held in the high school. The gym was decorated in the ap- propriate colors of red, white, and blue for a Prom Militairef' On April 22 we gave our class play, Stage Door, with the largest cast ever to be used in a A. H. S. play. Baccalaureate services were held Sun- day, May 31, at the First Methodist Church. Dr. E. R. Romig gave the address. Our senior banquet was held on Tues- day, June 2, with Dwight Freshley acting as our genial host and toastmaster. Marilyn Slabaugh was general chairman. Commencement was somewhat different from the program of previous years, for the girls wore white caps and gowns while the boys wore black. It was a sad-happy group of young people who left the auditorium that Thursday night for they were leaving the scene of some of the happiest, most carefree days of their lives.
