Uhothor the old school was not good enough for the class of 42, or whether it was too snail, v:e have not decided, but nevertheless, the school-board had a brand now schoolhouse awaiting us. Only nine of the fifty-eight members had attended rrade school together» They wore: Ruth albert, Mary Anderson, Dick Cleveland, Sidney I'rower, Dorothy Ludwick, Jinmio McCunsey, Jeanne May Hina, Laura Mac Sheldon, and Nancy Synns. Mr Greer was given the job of sponsoring us. On September 9th the class of 42 held its first class meeting and elected its first group of officers. They were: President, Byron Tatos, Vico President, Max Loehding. Secretary»-, Laura Mae Shelden and Treasurer, Patrick Webster.
