mvmww mwwwwxmvvma-wm raWIWJI . WMMWM .SJen ior Cfadd ajwlics fory jreddman year ik Imagine yourself king, only to find yourself suddenly demoted to the status of a lowly sub- ject. That is the adjustment we seniors of 946 had to make in 1941 when we left the highest grade in grammar school to enter the lowest grade in high school. But in our innocence our hearts were young and gay and we had our plans all laid out for runningr the school. We were, as all freshmen are, we later discovered, full of determination and zealous to prove ourselves campus leaders. But notwithstanding our noble resolves, the Sod Buster party was the first event in which we played an important part. This was our freshman get-acquainted party, held in the gymnasium one afternoon a few weeks after the opening of school. Here we met our class adviser and other teachers who would guide us during the year. For entertainment we divided into groups according to the month of our birth- day and played games. In this way we became well-acquainted with our classmates and teach- ers. . . At about the same time, the freshman class of 745 accomplished something that no class had done up to then, or has done sincee the early election of class officers. . . But there is one date of that year we shall remember above all othersePearl Harbor, on December 7, 1941. Our remaining years in high school would be different from those of any other graduating class, though at the time we did not fully realize the drastic changes lying ahead of us. We could not foresee in 1941 that when we were seniors in 1945 our country would still be at war. We could not foresee that many of our classmates would not graduate with us because they were in the Army or Navy. But the transition-for usefrom a peacetime to a wartime America was gradual. Not for another two years would our class feel the full impact of the war. FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS President .................................... JOHN HENRY Vice President ........................

This was our first really adult social enterprise, because, as freshmen the year before, we had not been allowed to give a dance. We worked with enthusiasm to make this event a success and were satisfied with the result. From now on, we felt, we were bona fide citizens of Clifford Scott. . . Another significant happening of this year was the production of g6Double or Nothing', by our dramatic department. It was this play which initiated into the delights of dramatic production some of our classmates who were later to become leading Thespians. . . But as the year wore on weeand the rest of the school tooebegan to notice that the halls were getting emptier, and the groups of girls were thickening. Many of the boys were leaving for the service of our country. So in the spring we contributed to the making of a Roll of Honor and a Service Flag which were dedicated in an assembly program of moving solemnity. Already two of the service stars were gold. . . The urge to buy war bonds and stamps for the Buy-a-Jeep Campaign grew steadily. The war was moving closer to us, step by step, and we were beginning to realize its deeper implications for us. . . The day by day routine was calm and untroubled, however, and this is best proved, perhaps, by our re-election of our class president, secretary, and treasurer.
