To examine the life of a class during three high school years is an extensive undertaking; but certain situations, changes, and persons stand out as meriting places in the class history. Upon entering Columbia in 1940, we found that the Columbian had hecn discontinued. Through the efforts of the sophomore class officers—Cal Carver, Herb Piken. and Dick Yorkcy—and through soph- omore support and assistance, the Columbian resumed publication. For three years everyone has enjoyed his school paper, read its many features with enthusiasm, and given it whole-hearted support. Our first presentation to the school as sophomores was an unusual play, “Perchance to Dream,” given by the Sophomore Dramatic Club. Those who appeared in the play were Jean nn Stirling, Dick Yorkcy. Don Davis, Rex Slauson, Don Pollack, Jackie Dorrance, Tom Sccdorf. Joan Doyle, Jean Wit man, Bob Hoffman, Lois Salzer, Peg Adams, and — 13 —

SENIOR HISTORY We, the class of 43, about to graduate from Columbia High School, arc acutely aware of the problems facing us in the world today. Never before in the history of the school has so much responsibility been placed upon the shoulders of its youth. We must fight to preserve the life we have known for almost two decades; and later, in peace- time, we must re-establish and improve this daily pattern. Three years in Columbia has shaped our ideals and standards. Here has begun the preparation for our future work and living. With the hope of aiding or benefiting Columbia and of preserving her tradi- tions, we have strived towards a goal of perfect student activity and government. hat we, as potential citizens, will he able to accomplish later is partially indicated by those things which we have done in our school. — 12 —

In junior year one of our class was elected president of the Parnassian Society, and this year again received this distinction. Phil Lindeman is the first Thespian in the society’s history ever to achieve this honor. He also had the lead in Parnassian’s Christmas play, “The Doctor of Lonesome Folk.’ To continue with dramatics, we come to Junior Night. In an attempt to escape from the realities of war and yet to bring the war itself home to the people, the class of '13 offered “On the Beam” to an exceedingly receptive audience.
