FROM 39 TO 43 WE MADE HISTORY It was way back in 1939 that some hundred and twenty freshmen chose as their leaders Bruce Shisler, Wayne Seegers, and Flora Ann Nichols. Under these three this group began their campaign of being the class that wasjiever afraid to attempt something different. The first project sponsored was a Leap-Year Week. It was great fun to watch the smirks on the fellows’ faces as the girls paid the bills. Miss Houk, one of our sponsors, helped us put on a sensational waffle supper, fol¬ lowed later in the week by a show and a dance. The fear of most high school students is of a “sophomore slump,” but with Wayne Seegers. Betty Carroll, Flora Ann Nichols, and Jeanne Omer to give us a boost we kept going up. We were all so proud to attend the football and basketball games and see some of our own fellows making the points. Near the end of this year we were saddened by the death of one of our classmates, a newcomer. Bill Austin. Many changes had taken place between our sophomore and junior years. The “boys” began to look like real men and the “girls” had become young ladies. Vernon Rouhselange, Cecil Conquest, Flora Ann Nichols, and Dorothy Lottes were chosen class officers. We really did,our part when it came to sjjorts that season. Bruce Shisler, Jamsev Keegan, Ray Hannon, Potts Wayne, Jim Hoffman ,and Murrell Belanger really showed their colors on the football field, while Bill Borchert and Bruce Shisler tore up the basketball floor. This year we lost the second of our group, Betty Hein, who died early in the spring. Of course, we also gave a Prom. This was an elegant affair which took place under the branches of a big tree. Before the dance, how¬ ever, we fed both the junior and senior classes at a banquet in the Presby¬ terian church. Our “queen” for the evening was Betty Pardee, a senior. Seniors! At last the day had come. We were now the ones who were to set the examples, and we hoped that they would be good ones. When it came time to elect class officers we all felt a lump rise in our throats, for the summer before we had lost one of our dearest friends, Bill Borchert, a fellow who had started with some of us in first grade. To honor his memory we elected him honorary senior class president. Cecil Conquest was elected president; Jean Pamer, vice president; Flora Ann Nichols, treasurer, and Bob Bailey, secretary. So now we have finished our most wonderful four years and with a little sadness, at the thought of leaving, we are preparing to go forth into the world to make another “history.” Little did we realize in those early days that the war which had just started in Europe would before it was over, take some of our own classmates who were willing to give their lives for our country because they knew “Light is the task, when many share the toil.” Page Thirty
