.S CLASS HISTORY ln the autumn of 1940 the class which will graduate in 1944 entered High School with many fears and misgivings, although going to school in this building promised to be very ex- citing after eight years of school in the grade building. We were a very much embarrassed group and the source of great amusement to the upper classmen as we wandered in and out of the rooms trying to find our proper classes. After a few days we became more conhdent in ourselves. We finally struggled through this year and were soon to become Sophomores. We felt very dignified as we gave up our seats on the side of the auditorium to the Fresh- men and moved on the center block. Our first business as Sophomores was the electing of of- ficers. Robert McKown was chosen as presi- dent and Iames Crooks as secretary-treasurer. The first real clay of our lives lso we thoughtl. We were no longer Freshmen and we looked forward to the initiation party. The party was a huge success except for the fact that the boys were not allowed to use the pad- dles which they had made. Now the girls could try out for Glee Club, and we were permitted to join the many other clubs such as the Speech Club, Tri-Hi-Y. Hi-Y, and G. A. A. This class had an experience which no other Sohomore Class had had before. We were be- ing drilled in air raids and some of our boys felt quite important as members of the Bomb Squad. We also did our part in buying Defense Stamps. ln preparation for the Gym Exhibition under Mrs. Lease, the girls enjoyed the acrobatics, al- though they often resulted in sore muscles and skinned knees. The Sophomore boys were also represented in the Exhibition. The Sophomore Class had no special activi- ties in Chapel and were not outstanding in social events, but it ended the year with a good scholastic standing.

4 CLASS HISTORY With the falling of leaves, from the trees, last September came the march of teen age boys and girls from North Apollo, Kiskiminetas Township, and Apollo. And to what was all this leading? The birth of the Freshman Class of Apollo High School of 1941-'42. Yes, it was the Freshman Class-and what a class-full of pep, vim, and vigor-ready to start to make its place in the Hall of Fame in Apollo. Of course, there were a few details to be disposed of first. There was an affair that was called Initiation, in which the upper classmen tried to show their superiority over the budding geniuses that had freshly arrived, but that was weathered with stoical indifference. And then things really began to happen. Along came the football season, and right away all knew the Freshmen were on hand. When things were in swing, two of the boys, Tom Barringer and Chick Dando, had made the squad and three of the girls, La Rue Rear- ick, Nancy Davis, and Val lean Coleman were in the cheerleader section-both groups doing a good job. When the smoke had cleared from the lining up of the Tiger Gazette Staff, four of the Freshmen were in there pitching-Mary Lou Richey, Dick Hemphill, Richard Coleman. and Alvin George. Then came the War! Two rifle clubs were formed with the Freshmen well represented and doing admirably. Regardless of all the honors that have come to the Class of 1941-'42 there have been mom- ents when the ego was sadly deflated. lt seems that many had lingering growing pains that brought forth, from many of the reachers, com- ments to the effect that the class was far from having evidence of sprouting wings. But how can it be otherwise? What would High School be without the disturbing element of the Fresh- man Class from year to year? When all has been written in the book of records, this year's Freshman Class hopes and feels that Apollo High will be proud to have had this group of girls and boys enrolled. ROOM 212-Bortz, J.
