McCord. tesl tesiimaii By SAM KARSTEN The class of green'' freshmen began the school year of ‘41-42 with 82 members, sixty-three coming from the preceding eighth grade class and the remaining 19 from surrounding schools in our vicinity. As their superiors they chose the honorable James McLaughlin, president; Sam Karsten, vice-president; Joyce Bailey, secretary-treasurer; Jackie Elithorp, delegate-at-large, and Mr. Thostenson for our all-around helper. Of course, we brilliant freshmen thought we knew all until we began taking English, civics, general math, and all of the other studies and outside activities. We also thought we owned the junior high, until the teachers showed us differently. So alter all our disappointments, we took it with a grain of salt, and began to try and settle down, which most of us found hard to do, and attempt to learn something. Before we knew it, and just as we were settled down, and almost beginning to learn something, the freshman year had passed, and our first high school year was over, with three more to struggle through. 09)

They were christened the Sophomores and set forth into the new mysterious unknown (commonly known as the senior high) For the first few weeks we were a bit shaky, but it didn't take us long to establish ourselves, and we found we really liked it. There are several things we have accomplished so far this year. Some of our boys got on the football team, and deserve a lot of credit for their fine showing. Our fine second team in basketball is made up almost entirely of Sophomores. We have representatives in nearly everything else, too; even intramurals, when the boys manage to whip up an eligible team. New additions to our class this year are strictly from the masculine side of the fence. Dave Franklin from Philadelphia, Dick Schmidt from Cleveland,- and Jim Clay-pool from Canada, add new faces and graces to our group. Our class officers are as follows: Jack Starm, president,- yours truly, vice-president; Joann Schultz, secretary-treasurer; and Pat Gundry, delegate-at-large. We like the senior high and hope that it likes us, 'cause we’ve got two more years to spend here and if those two years are as nice as this one has been, we'll surely be a sorrowful class of '44.

By KATHLEENE FLOOD In September, 1940, a group of beys and girls walked timidly into the main room, their thoughts full of what the first year in junior high would be like. By September, 1941, the same group who are now eighth graders had learned many things. Among them were that one had to study to get good marks in history and to find the subject and verb of a sentence one had to work Many of the eighth graders had planned to join some of the clubs as the eighth grade of previous years had done, but they found that times had changed. At first they were disappointed, but when some of the girls started a dancing class, they forgot their disappointment and began to look forward to Thursday nights. Finally a junior G A.A was started and many of the girls joined. In this club they had much fun. Of course, the eighth grade had many outstanding people. Some of them were members of the junior and senior bands. Others belonged to the Safety Patrol. And even some of the cheerleaders included an eighth grader among their number. Intramural was the chief event of the year. Here again the eighth graders were among the best and made a very satisfactory showing. And when the year 1941-1942 was over, most of them looked forward to the next year when they, as Freshman, would occupy the seats by the windows. By that time they hope to have learned much more.
