The ATHENHAN History of Itlhe Class of May, 1940 Dear Diary: Well, finally we are out of those horrid things called grades and past one year of our high school career. Most of us had Room 204 as our homeroom. It was the largest class we had ever been in. Frankly, at first we were scared speechless but that didn't last long. We promptly organized and elected ofhcers. They were: Rosemary Ingersoll, President, jack Eskew, Vice-president, Ewell Curran, Secretary, and Rene Buser, Treasurer. As Freshmen we were finally honored by being invited to attend the all-school parties given by different clubs or classes. After two years of those knock-down drag-out dancing lessons, we appreciated being considered grown-up. May, 1941 Dear Diary: Our second year has passed and we're another step closer to our goal of graduation and I guess that's what real y counts. Our guiding executives this year were: President, Bob Ross, Vice-president, Charles Curtin, Secretary, Kathryn Sinclair, and Treasurer, Nancy Cummings. This year we were really in C. H. S.'s Senior High. We were permitted to hold offices and take part in all important activities, such as Sunshine Society, Hi-Y, and auditorium programs. We really wish to be modest, but, as you know, it was said that our class gave the most outstan ing all-school party in years. May, 1942 Dear Diary: This yearhas certainly been a revelation. We feel important with our new responsi- bilities, and with responsibility comes fun and the feeling of accomplishment. The grandest change occurred this year! Instead of having six periods and getting out at 3:48 P. M., we now have only live and get out at 3:08. Gee, what forty minutes can do to a kid! The results of the election were: Maurice fPeteJ Westfall, President, Carrol Cordes, Vice-president, Laura Wallace, Secretary, and Harriet Flaningam, Treasurer. We chose Mrs. Smith, Miss Arthur and Mr. McDaniel as our sponsors. Page Seventeen
