Richard Hill HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF I943 the remaining portion tolO3,However, we carried on the tradition by being represented in the Legion Oratorical Contest which was won by Barbara Drake and the newly-named Jessie W. Jones Prize Speaking Contest which was won by Florence Cox. As a class we took full responsibility of decorating the gym for commencement dancing as previous junior classes had done. Although our treasury was empty we planned the Victory Hop, which supplied us with more than ample funds for the decoration. lt might be noted that we were represented by several that year on the championship J-V Basketball team that added one more trophy to our school's large Collection. Now we are seniors and fully aware of the fact, for looking back we feel that we have not only been looked up to by the younger students in school but also have known the responsibility of making this an eventful and complete last year. I am sure that not one of us will forget that event- ful basketball game when trying to substitute the selling of chocolate milk for the much-wanted and yet unobtainable candy we found ourselves faced with the cleaning of a gym full of broken milk bottles, or the Christmas Ball, which we all helped to make worthwhile. No class has been more fortu- nate in any way than we in having Vincent Bassett as our president for both terms.He has been awonderful leader and help to every committee. Florence Cox received the American Legion Good Citizenship Pilgrimage Award. Instead of having a Turkey Trot or a Barnyard Brawl we had the Harvest Hop and Hill-Billy Shindig, which were both wonderful successes. Now that basketball is over we are looking forward to our Senior Play, What A Life, which cannot help but be another success, and also to the Senior Ball, Class Night and Commencement. The time has seemed so short yet we have a store of unforgetable memories to carry with us as we go out from the harbor into the sea of life to overcome the high and dashing waves and gain our glory which lies beyond
