CLASS HISTORY We now take you back to the first of our high school days when we were all Freshmen. There was a fairly large class of thirty-nine at the beginning of the year but it was reduced some by losing twelve of them during the year. Mr, Reesman was our class advisor,-and on our first class meet ing we elected the officers: President, Bus Adkins; Vice President, Bob Thompson; Secretary-Treasurer, Ruth Frantz, This year we started out rather well in sports with five of our Freshmen on the first squad in basketball and four on the first squad in baseball. As fal1 came around again, twenty-two of us entered school as Silly Sophomores.” The class officers wore: President, Ruth Frantz; Vice President, Betty Brandt; Secretary-Treasurer, Mary Jackson This year the class activities were started by a weiner roast at Marvin Spaits’s and ended with a weiner roast and barn dance at Barrett Rogers’s. During this year we had seven on the basketball sqaud; and two of the girls, Betty Brandt and Mary Jackson took over as cheerleaders. Our float, Caught in the Draft,” won first in the Homecoming parade. Mary Jackson gave a humorous reading in the spring contest and received a rating of second for Class B schools. When we entered school again in the fall of ’42 our class was still reducing qnd by now there were nineteen of'us. Again we had two cheerleaders, Ruth Frantz and Maranell Mason, from our class who brought the basketball team through a successful season by helping them to win twenty-one games and to lose only six. The Junior play, Sally’s Private Earthquake, was presented in the fall under the direction of Miss Close. In the spring most of the members of our class participated in the musical review, The Road to Happiness. Our officers in charge this year were: President, Maranell Mason; Vice President, Merlin Wilmert; Secretary-Treasurer, Ruth Frantz. Activities began with a treasure hunt this year. Following that were several memorable incidents including Senior Day at Lincoln Colloge, the morning after'Bus and Jim loft, Orville’s Big Date , Swept Clean Off Her Feet , cheerleading with Mason, Jackson, aid Wilmert. As Commencement draws near we are looking forward to our places in the world}
