5 CLASS HISTORY The class of '42 began its Freshman year in Apollo High School with much enthusiasm and a little confusion. After we were initiated according to school tradition, the upper classmen endeavored to teach us the fundamentals of modern dancing. Soon after this the Freshies could cut the rug with the best of them. We experienced one of the most thrilling--yet embarrassing- moments when the upper classmen clapped us in at our first assembly. Al- though we were the object of all good natured jokes, we enjoyed this year to the utmost and often fondly recall it. lt was a big event when we were moved up to the rank of Sophomores and could enter into the fun of initiating the Greenies . This year the Senior Class of '40 started a yearbook which they called the Kiskitas , after the name of our river. Since it was the first yearbook for sometime, the whole student body received its revival very enthusiastically. Many of the girls joined the Tri-Hi-Y Club and went to school very peculiar looking the week of their initiation, for they were obliged to wear curlers in their hair, different shoes and socks, aprons, and carry a bucket filled with books. Before we knew it, we were plunged head-long into our Iunior Year. Our studies, school dances. and numerous clubs and organizations furnished varied interests. At last the day set for the junior-Senior Prom came. Although it was a rainy and dismal day, there was excitement in the air. Time dragged slowly along, but four o'clock finally came. Boys and girls alike rushed home to don their first evening clothes. That night the high school gym was filled with laughter and music. Both students and teachers joined in the fun and all spent an enjoyable evening. The next day all the juniors and Seniors went around with drooping eyelids. However, we were not too tired to give the details of our divine evening. Most of the Iunior Class attended the Bac- calaureate Sermon and Commencement Program of the Class of '41 . We knew that it would not be long now until we too would be leaving our happy school years far behind us. Time sped on and soon found us classified as Seniors. This year we looked forward to many good times and were by no means disappointed. The Kiskitas sponsored a dance which they called Elmer's Dance after the popular tune of the day. The Tri-I-li-Y also held a dance, the Winter Carni- val. The proceeds of this dance-were given to help increase the Bomber Fund. We started the annual subscription drive early, and made out so well that it was not necessary for us to carry on any other project, except our class play. As the last few months of our school year faded away, with tear-filled eyes we looked back over our happy school memories. H11
