Junior Officers JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY The Class of ’44 started out in our Freshman year with great hopes for the future. Mr. Van de Mark was our class advisor. We were the first class to have a Freshman class. Not only that but we won first prize for stunt night. Bill Denault was elected president. In our Sophomore year we were even more active with Vic Jensen as president and Mrs. Sands as our class advsior. We were the first class to start the basketball games between girls and boys for entertainment. Since we were entitled to two dances, we had two successful ones. We also sold candy for two weeks. We regard our Junior year as our most successful one. We have a very capable president in the person of Jimmy Hyland. Our class advisor, Mrs. Ranger, has been very helpful to us in our activities. One of the most important activities was our Junior Play directed by R. V. Cogger. It was an especially good play since half of the cast were Juniors and most of the Stage Crew consists of Junior boys. We also had two or three dances, one of which was very successful socially. For our assembly, we had a humorous skit about Pokey Hontes. Our class has shown a patriotic spirit in the Stamp and Bond drives. At the present we are the leading homeroom. Of course our most important event was our Junior Prom. Music for this dance was provided by Warren Fargo's orchestra of Batavia. Many came and had a wonderful time. Our last event of our Junior year before we become Seniors is our Junior-Senior Banquet. We all hope it will be a great success. Page 27

Sophomores in Action SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY When we entered Attica High School in September, 1941, we were, indeed, mere greenhorns. Our Freshman year was not too successful, but proved, beyond a doubt, that we possessed fine qualities of organization and economy. Our Freshman Halloween Party was well attended by many fun loving Freshmen. We sold candy and here we netted $17.00. We have had two dances which have been a success both socially and financially. We certainly displayed our patriotic spirit by coming out in first place in the sale of Defense Stamps and Bonds. Thus, the Sophomores have completed a very successful year and are anticipating higher achievements next year. Page 29
