THE CLASS HISTORY I X September 1941, we entered the halls of Chatham High School. Perhaps we weren t as frightened as some Freshman classes ha ' e been, because the year before we had the opportunity to “sample” a high school day. Xe ’ertheless this experience helped very little, we were .scared to death. As our Freshman year advanced, we elected our class officers, with F. B. Watson I as President, Kitty Dehart as ’ice-President, and Billy Gatewood as Secretary and Treasurer. We elected two representatives to the Student Council and several of our members helped to organize the Hi-Y clubs. Others took active parts in the sports of the school and the various other clubs. Our .Sophomore year was perhaps the most confusing. Due to the situation of the war, the school athletics were limited and we started a new routine of Physical Education which was prescribed by the Go ernment. We lost several members of the faculty because of the war and thus ended the Sophomore year. Our Junior year was the happiest. Mr. Helms was replaced by Mr. Myers as principal. Dramatics was introduced into the school schedule and a number of our members took a very active part. A few of the class distinguished themseh es in the field of athletics. Some dances and parties were held as a part of our social activities. A few of the boys were called into the armed forces. After scraping up money, selling pop, sandwiches, and ice cream, we climaxed the year by enter- taining the Seniors with a banquet, at Hotel Chatham. At last we are .Seniors, with twenty-one of the original fifty-two Freshmen. Ve know that the .Senior Class of 1945 has faced a problem which few classes have had to face; our entire high school career has been under the influence of war. Despite this we spent our last year organizing the class and taking an activ ' e part in school activities. .-Ml of this occupied time but our main thoughts were with our annual The Ch.vt. On June 5, we graduate, feeling certain that our life has been enriched by every day that we spent at Chatham High School. We look to the future with the same hopes that each of us attain a success in life. Betty Gl. ss Oi.iver F. B. W.JiTSO.N 1 ’
