Qs 1' ' F . S Z I g r yi! 0 Page eight jammers started the year off by providing the music for the very first assembly. Members of the various advisories antic- ipated Dana Gumb's talks about the benefits of the G. A., and before the drive had officially started, rumors were float- ing about that Mr. Dodds' advisory had already taken the hon- ors by subscribing 10096. This rumor was verified in assem- bly two weeks later when the coveted banner was awarded to Dusty's gang. At the end of the first week, Taubie's public speakers started their season by speaking over WABC in a lively impromptu discussion on Youth and the War . Ted Taubeneck, Ellida Sadler, Mickey Collins, and Lindsey Grant took part in this discussion. So when we returned on Monday, September 14, to start our second week we were well started in our last year at school. Within the following two weeks, many other activities were started. We elected our Student Council representatives two days after registration, and within a week, they were getting our opinions about a proposed student recreation center, which would be similar to the one that had been so successful during the summer. Our Student Council also tried to get us all better acquainted by sponsoring a Welcome Dance. At first it seemed as if there weren't going to be many students present, but when the night of the dance finally 'rolled around, the large number of couples present testified to the effectiveness of Bob Rosseis and Jack Moffett's get a dateb campaign. For those of us who like to see action, this first open house was a good sign that our Student Council would be an effective organi- zation. On September 10, a week before the Welcome Dance, we Seniors met in the cafeteria, where Mr. Dodds reminded us that we were the first senior class to start a school year while our country was at war. He also told us about some of our responsibilities and activities as a class. Then we elected our officers. Pete Fitzpatrick was chosen to guide the Class of 1943 through the joys and sorrows of its last year in school. Charlie Parton was then elected Vice-President, Cathie Sue Linabury, secretary, and Dick Kellogg, treasurer. After the Senior Executive Council had been rounded out by the elec- tion of Art Morley from Goudeyis advisory, Marilyn Ringer and Werner Theissen from Moore's, Carla McBride from Dodds', and Kathie Moore and Leonard Dunk from Clever's, the entire council met at Mr. Moore's newly decorated chateau to undertake their first responsibility of the season, the ap- pointment of the 1943 Yearbook staff. After a lengthy dis- cussion, the council chose Kathie Moore for the big job of Editor, and Dana Crumb, for the job of Business Manager. In acting so promptly and efficiently in getting the Yearbook started, our class leaders justified our confidence in them. In the field of sports, more activity was being shown. Mr. Ritchie's soccer team began practicing soon after school start- ed, with high hopes for a very successful season. This year the soccer team got new uniforms which made it look like quite the snappy organization that it was. At the same time, oppor- tunities were being made available for the female athletes of Never let them stop, Pat Through the line Up and over Leave it to me Keep up the good work! Don't they look wonderful?
