With Fondest M emories As freshmen when we entered the resound- ing chambers of AHS, all of us were entering into a completely new and different world. Some faced it boldly, some timidly, and some even a little fearfully. What strange and start- ling experiences were in store for us no one could tell. But after the first few weeks of newness wore off, and upperclassmen ceased staring, we began the never-ceasing round of studies in earnest. We took in our stride new experiences and changes as only seasoned vet- erans can. Thus passed our freshman year, evermore to haunt us with its trial and errors. The organization of our class was left until our population was stabilized and until we gained a little more experience in such matters. But as a result of the assembly period discus- sions on democracy, one of our assembly rooms, 101,'staged a political battle, with the winning party left in control. Our classmates from State Street had just joined us when, as 10B's, we held our first class meeting to organize. The officers whom we chose then have held their positions through- out their high school careers. As president, Frank Rodgers led the list. The vice president's chair was taken by Bob Krahl- ing and the secretary's books were handed to Maxine Santschi. The finances have been han- dled by Martha Scott. Mr. William Anderson was elected patron. Our sophomore year was interrupted and the whole nation shaken by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. It didn't give its full meaning at first, but we could easily see things were go- ing to be a lot different from here on. Feeling the first effects of a nation at war, we didn't hold any special activities or sell things to fill our treasury. Instead, our already decreasing numbers gave full attention to school and out- side work. The next year, a defense job called Mr. An- derson away from our school and Miss Ruth Dowler was selected to fill his place. New war- time courses began to appear in the schedule. Girls and boys alike strove toward physical fit- ness with the new pre-induction gym. That funny thing called rationing made its debut. The students went all-out in the sale of bonds and stamps in their assembly rooms and earned the privilege of flying the coveted Minute-Man flag. The new Victory Corps was formed with great enthusiasm and clubs participated in de- fense activities. The junior year of the average high school student holds one main attraction - the prom. Bill Rodgers and Phil Meismer held the reins as co-chairmen and a western theme was se- lected. On May 22, the gym was decorated to the hilt with cardboard horses, cowboys and cowgirls, and the floor was corralled off with a high cardboard fence. We thrilled to the syn- copation of Earl Jones and his orchestra. Color, music, and hilarious entertainment -- all west- ern - made the Bar '44 Round-up Prom the biggest and best ever! Our senior year! To start off a grand fare- well, a Halloween party under the general di- rection of Al Rogel was staged at Morgan's gym, everyone having a wonderful time. The year has proved to be a busy one, taking time out for ring measurements, picture taking, in- vitations, name cards, and cap and gown meas- urements, to say nothing of the time spent by the Chronicle stad. On the social end, dances and parties and club farewells took the lime- light. Teachers were plagued with the trading of friendship pictures and name cards. Senior chapel seemed to catch us all by the throat. A serious note was struck at our Baccalaureate services when it was explained to us what we are facing. And as a grand finale, the curtain was run down on our number, reduced to nearly half its original sum, at commencement exer- cises held June 1 in the auditorium with mem- bers of our own class as chief speakers. Black and Aqua were chosen as our class colors and our motto stands thus: Today Makes Tomorrowf' And so shall we, the stu- dent generation of the Allied Nations, out of the war-ravaged world of today, design the good will and peace maintaining nation of to- morrow. And so, with a little catch in our voice, we bid good-bye to our Alma Mater. 21
