t ' c CLASS HISTORY Early in September in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred forty-one, a new colony was planted on the continent of J. W. Cannon High School. Shy and inexperienced these settlers were and unprepared for the many problems and great adventures which lay before them. For that reason, they called themselves Freshmen. The colonists found unlimited helpful instructions from a clan called teachers. Under their guidance, the Freshmen began to become adjusted to their new home. War came to the colonies that year, greatly affecting the life of the colony and the destiny of its members. By the time a year had passed, the colonists were no longer inex- perienced and therefore changed their name to Sophomores. Now settled in their new surroundings, the Sophomores enjoyed good times as well as hard work. During their second year, they made great advancements in many fields. At the beginning of their third year, the Sophomores again changed their name — this time to Juniors. An eventful year this was for the Juniors. For the first time they shared with the Seniors, an adjoining colony, the fun and gaity of the Senior-Junior Mas- querade and the Junior-Senior Dance. Juniors and teachers co- operated in giving a successful play, sports were entered into, and as in years before, the knowledge found in books was given importance. At last arrived the long awaited fourth year. The colonists were now entitled to call themselves Seniors and as such to enjoy many privileges. The studying of books was still important, but in all the excitement of other activities, it was sometimes almost forgotten. Parties, sports, music, dances, art, and dramatics were all enjoyed. I he Seniors realized the true fullness of life in the colonies. But before the end of the year, they again turned their eyes to other seas. The land of the future beckoned. So one day in early June, a number slightly less than four years before left the High School land they loved so well. They parted perhaps never to meet again. But always they will remember the four happy years they spent together in the land of Cannon High. — Gilda Koontz. Gilda Koontz Page T wenty-four
