SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The first two years that our superior Class of 1941 spent in High School were of mediocre importance. Contrary to our present policy, we spent all of our time studying and had little time for extra-curricular activities. As Freshmen we elected George Spears, President, with Kenneth Clement doing his duty as Vice-President. Elsie Volk was Treasurer; Arthur Golombek, Secretary, and Deanna Nowak our Class Representative. Young and innocent, we contributed a school room scene to Stunt Night. But with our meager intelligence we couldn’t put it across. How times have changed. We had learned a lot by the time we beecame Sophomores but we still earned the title Silly Sophs.” Our mock-wedding went over well at Stunt Night however, and we won second prize. This year we showed great wisdom and elected Alfred Wise, President; Nick Radice, Vice-President; Elsie Volk, Secretary and Treasurer, and Carl Clor, Class Representative. Selling candy was added to our activities, and it was thus we started in our Jolly-Junior year. It was during our Junior year that our A.H.S. students began to notice our outstanding ability. Our Junior Play Second Fiddle” went over with a bang. We cleaned up a tidy sum and felt jolly indeed. A Halloween Dance seemed appropriate so we staged an informal Fall Hop. This was also successful. Our good luck continued all year and we backed our Junior Prom. By this time we found that we had quite a bit of money on our hands. This allowed us to finance the Junior-Senior banquet with nary a worry about funds. This exceptional year we had as officers: Harrison Stortz, President; Betty Barnes, Vice-President; Jack Egan, Secretary; Madeline Frisbee, Treasurer, and Paul Flick, Class Representative. And finally, after three long years of gradually bettering ourselves we became Sophisticated Seniors. We’ve had a wonderful year! I’m sure you’ll never forget our comedy Tish” or our highly successful Ball with the strains of Bob Armstrong’s music filling the gym. Perhaps you remember our informal Welcome Back” dance. It was an asset both socially and financially. Speaking of financial assets, we hope our 1941 Torch starts a precedent with its many snap-shots, stiff covers, etc., as an ultra modern masterpiece. Our rings too were flashed around before Christmas. Of course we had an excellent choice of rings—so good in fact that part of the class purchased one ring and the remainder one with a slightly different setting! Our final social function will be the J unior-Senior Banquet. How all Seniors look forward to this event! And how the Juniors enjoy seeing our intelligent faces adorning their humble table! Our four years have been well filled with fun and study. Our only hope is that this, our Senior year, will terminate as successfully as our first three.
