CLASS Of 1941 IN I HE YEAR ol 1937, “We,” the class of ’41, started on our four-year quest for knowledge in high school. As Freshmen we were very enthusiastic and eager to absorb all the knowledge and training the years might bring to us. We elected our class officers for President, James Ingalls; Vice-President, Marilyn Shaner; Secretary, Shirley Monroe, and as home teacher and advisor the very efficient Mr. Coplai. With this, our first task accomplished, we were ready for anything which might come our way. Our first class party was a tremendous success, and as for talent, we lacked for nothing. We not only had twenty in the Glee Club but also had eighteen in the hand. Several skating parties were enjoyed during the winter and at the end of the school year we had one big and very enjoyable picnic at Cuba Lake, where one of our members and a chaperon grew slightly skittish on the Merry-go-round. I his year we again elected officers, with James Ingalls, our choice for President, Beverly Shaner for Vice-President, and Marilyn Shaner for Secretary. Because of his cooperation, sincereness and popularity, Mr. Coplai is again our home teacher and advisor. W e have had but two skating parties this winter, but we are looking forward and making plans for a barn dance and farewell party to top off our second year of high school. 1 he first two years have passed quickly and pleasantly, bringing lasting and true friendships and enlightenment which we hope to increase greatly in our Junior and Senior years. “We,” the class of ’41, with sincere thanks to our teachers for their help and guidance, leave our best wishes with the class of ’42 and look forward eagerly to becoming Juniors. —M.S. ’41. 30
