ogan .ygflfaind jfs grfdclag 1940. In its first year, temporarily housed on the seminary grounds, Hogan boasted seventy students and four teachers. The regular academic course was offered, as well as art, sewing, orchestra and choral. Also during that year, the football and basketball teams were started, but sports were handicapped by limited space and equipment. 1941. When school opened in September, a new building on Meyer Boulevard looked down on the city from its eminence. The enrollment was over two hundred and the faculty members had been increased to seven. A part time art teacher and a part time physical education teacher were also employed. Biology, cooking, band, mechanical draw- ing, and physical education were added to the curriculum. The first operetta, Green Cheese, by Gottlieb, Wakeman and Wilson, was sung in the spring. . 1942. Rapidly climbing the ladder of success, Hogan began the year with an enrollment of over three hundred students. Commercial courses, dramatics, chemistry, aeronautics, and advanced algebra were introduced. That year the faculty numbered ten sisters and two lay teachers. The Pep Club was begun and the Hogan Citizen fthe school paper! got its start. 1943. Enrollment then exceeded four hundred, calling for four more members on the faculty. General business, American Problems, physics, trigonometry, solid geometry and journalism entered the cur- riculum. Outstanding points of the year were: the first junior-senior prom held, the first three-act play enacted, the National Honor Society introduced, ambitious writers made members of the Catholic Press Association, Quill and Scroll, and the National Scholastic Press Associa- tion. Topping off scholastic attainments was the admittance of the School to the North Central Association. 1944. A chapel, furnished by the Mother's Club, was located on second floor, and the Blessed Sacrament came to bless us with the Divine Presence. The enrollment was four hundred forty-three. Again, the curriculum was expanded: bookkeeping, dramatics H, debate and private speech were added. Clubs such as the Latin Club, the Chemocrats, the National Forensic League, the Commercial Club and the Poster Club became part of the life of Bishop Hogan High School. The members of the debate team brought home a trophy from the invitational tourna- ment held at Butler, Missouri in the spring. 194-S. Glancing into the future, Hoganites see brightness and promise! Onward Hogan!

A great amount of energy, Wisdom and understanding are needed to carry on the various school functions. Although Bishop Hogan High School is still young in its field, yet because of good leadership, it has done much to further Catholic educa- tion.
