RECORD OF 1941-42 AT A. H. S. (continued) JANUARY — We all came back on the fifth, bright-eyed ready to go to work. The P.-T. A. started the new year by serving hot lunches. The schedule was changed somewhat, but we soon got established into the routine. On the sixth, the fourth P.-T. A. meeting of the year was held. The speech class participated in the entertainment. The Panthers were eliminated from the County Tourney in the first game; however the Cubs came through with the final victory. Jim Miller was late to school only twice this month. On January 28 the American Legion presented a program to the whole school as well as those from the St. Marys ' School in which Mr. Glenn Thrapp of Kendallville spoke and promoted the sale of defense bonds and stamps. A contest among the classes was organized for this purpose. The girls and boys who won the intramural basketball tournaments this month were awarded medals. On the twenty-ninth the Swan Township Farmers ' Institute was held in the gym. FEBRUARY — A new fad has begun! The girls are wearing slacks and the boys are wearing overalls decorated with slogans and autographs in white ink. The juniors came out this month attired in sweaters of green and gold. They never will get over the fact that they were once freshmen, will they? The speech class presented on the sixth a program promoting courtesy. The seniors had a special class meeting on the ninth. You should have heard Mr. Eiler tell them off at that particular meeting! He gave them a few pointers on etiquette. Those lady teachers are really tough! They really took the senior girls down the Une! (Speaking of basketball). The Panthers lost the last basketball game of the season to the Garrett Railroaders. Then came the Sectional Tourney! All teams were well matched, and Avilla was eliminated in the first round. You can ' t always win! Wolf Lake represented this sectional in the Regional. MARCH — The inter-class basketball tournaments (boys and girls) were the main attractions the first two weeks in March. All were good games and much enjoyed by the students as well as the teachers. Mr. Joseph Adair, the Noble County superintendent of schools, was the main speaker at this month ' s P.-T. A. meeting. Also on the program was a one-act play given by the speech class and music by other students. Then on March 13 were played the Annual benefit games for the Annual. There were three good games and a large crowd of spectators. The District Solo and Ensemble Contest was held at Waterloo on the twenty-eighth. The Avilla School was well represented with six solos and six ensembles. The senior play, The Spider ' s Web, was presented on March 24 and 2 5 with a large crowd attending. APRIL — The F. F. A. boys have not forgotten how to skate and did their best to keep others from forgetting how by sponsoring their annual skating party on April sixth. The Senior Class of 1942 were the honored guests at the April P.-T. A. meeting on April 7, and were properly entertained by that group. Then amusement was provided for the entire group by twirlers from Miss Guthrie ' s room and a playlet, The Three Bears by members of the first grade. The seniors had full swing on the thirteenth. Senior Class Day. The juniors received many valuable articles from the departing seniors, and seniors were given a glimpse into their futures. The seniors were expelled from school for good on the fourteenth. The Junior-Senior banquet came along on the fifteenth. The girls, dressed in every color of the rainbow, and the boys, in their best bibs and tuckers, made an interesting procession. Most of the juniors came back to school on the next day but I wonder if they kept awake. The seniors were given their awards of guidance on April 19 at the baccalaureate by Rev. John Reed, pastor of the Wesleyan Methodist church in LaOtto. On April 20 the underclassmen struggled through their final exams. I guess most of them passed. The class of ' 42 said their final good-byes to A.H.S. on April 22 at the Commence- ment. Rev. Paul Kraus, pastor of the Trinity Lutheran Church in Fort Wayne, delivered a very inspiring address to the class as well as to a large audience. Although this marks the end of our high school training, our education does not cease. We must strive for deeper, higher, and broader knowledge than that which we now possess and apply our class motto, A quitter never wins, and a winner never quits. Page 26
