They will cast aside the books and receive rpeir teaching from life. The seniors entered high school in September of 1940 on their second voyage toward gaining an education. With one hundred and four members in the class, the forty-four graduates started out to bring new laurels to their school. Since then many have excelled in music, sports, and other chosen fields. During the last four years the class has gradually shrunk until about 63 will graduate. Many of these absent members are serving their country in Uncle Sam's Army, Navy, or Air Corps. This class has been distinguished by having the same president all four years. The “four-termer has been Lee Markwell. Members of the class have chosen their fellow classmates to rule them. The following have served as vice-presidents in turn: Jim Goble, Carl Collins, and Jim Goble. Jim Goble was also chosen Student Council president. Mary Daniel, Imogene Robinson. Martha Prince, and Phyllis Lewis have shown their abilities as treasurers. Having Virginia Austin, Phyllis Lewis, and Norma Daughhetee as secretaries further enhanced the chances of a succeeding class. Even not being able to get certain materials, they proved a successful banquet could be given by providing an abundance of food and clever decorations at the annual junior and senior banquet. The expenses of this were partially paid from the proceeds of their junior class play. This too had proven to be a hit! Now that the seniors realize that this is the last year of their high school life, they are speeding up their activities and thus accomplishing much more. All are trying to add a few more memories to their collection. One thing they will have to look back upon is the 1 944 homecoming with their talented classmate, Phyllis Lewis, as queen. During the other three homecomings, the beauties of the class acted as attendants to the queen. As we look back on this class, traveling with it through the four years, we can easily see it has been an exceptionally energetic class. All members seemed to work toward one thing, success. In almost everything, they have had the good fortune to come out on top. The seniors have changed from a large group of boys and girls to young men and women equipped to take their places outside of school. As the class of 1944 leaves these buildings, they will take their memories with them. .As they leave us behind, let us too remember them as our friends and the class of 1944. 10 The 1944 Flame

IN THE WIGWAM During the leisure hours of the day, we gather in the meeting place of the wigwam to study, gossip, tell jokes, and wait for the bell to ring. Its double seats are made to order for our gruesome twosomes. Look further, and see our tribe. 7 he 1944 lame 9
