They remain the largest class ever en- rolled in the A. C. H. S. and they are still traveling nThe Road Called Teil Which Leads To The City Called Suc- cess.N On September 5, l to A. C. H. S. again opened her doors. The Freshies of ' l are now the Sophomores of ILE. Margaret Paul, Frederick Smeltzer, Bud Karr, and Leland Bridgeman did not join our forces this year, but Veon Mace, Norma Zell, and Evelyn Hays took their places, which makes the enlistment total MZ. Last spring Mr. Wise left to de- fend our country leaving the vacancy of our class advisor to be filled by Mr. John D Rosenberg. Contrary to the boy officers of last year, the fairer sex dominates the positions this year as follows: Orla Karsten, President, Betty Jo Thompson, Vice President, Shirley Heibenthal, Seo- retaryg and Louise Paddock, Treasurer. Posters were put up advertising the Annual Freshman- Sophomore Party which was Friday, October lC. The Freshmen were accepted into the A. C. H. S. enrollment as full fledged members by the initiation, To be a little dif- ferent it was decided to invite the Juniors and Seniors to a dance following the initiation. The high school danced to the strains of Dick Jergens and Art Kassel Kon recordsl. The clean-up job wasn't so hard fer the little President, because she had a helper doing dishes. This was none other than Ozzie. At the last Basket Ball game, our class took charge of the concessions. We chose barbecues, popcorn and pop as refreshments for the fans. Much work was put forth into the management and serving of the concessions. This brings a close to the letter bringing to you the past and present news of the Class of WLLV. ' The Glass of HMLW

The play took place at three different times, Wednesday afternoon, Friday afternoon and Friday even- ing. We were all prompted numerous times by Dona Jean Sanders. p The first scene cf the probable graduation of the class of '43 was the purchase of pretty and expensive looking class rings and pins. Everyone was proud as anything to wear their new rings and pins and we were complimented many times on their selection. . Well, that's about all up to date, but if anything really important happens, like the Junior-Senior Prom-Banquet, you'll hear from us. So long for now, A Proud Junior. P.S. I thought you might like to know that the class of '45 is behind you in whatever you attempt and we stand behind Uncle Sam one hundred per cent.

Way back on September 18, l9hl we elected officers Cthat was fifteen days after school startedj. ' President---Dark haired, witty, Junior Landis. Vice President---The small, only girl officer, . Mary Alice Greenfield. Secretary---Red haired, Clarence QRedJ Unger a mighty good basketball player. Treasurer---Blonde, blue-eyed, Billy,Jacobs. We keep our colors cardinal and white flying in our efforts to 'Build for Character, not for Famein Not until October ninth were we formally inducted. Thanks to the Sophomore class, herefs how it was done-- The funniest part was the parade around the gym- nasium with Red Unger dressed as a mother pushing Billy Jacobs in a baby buggy. Also Hazel Sturtevant Cknown by the boys as Porky! fed Orville Yocum five bananas which had been aging for two weeks. After the parade around the gym we found our partners in an unusual way. When we came to the party we had to take our shoes and socks off. Later we found out that our shoes were tied to those of some boy or girl so that each boy had a girl as a partner. We were then called to the kitchen in groups of four where we were given taffy apples, popcorn and punch. '
