S ecretary It was a mere four for iivei years ago that some one hundred and twenty new ad- ditions to Dobyns-Bennett came to occupy the balcony seats in assembly, and to as- sume the general label of Freshmen-one hundred and twenty students of assorted sexes and ages who timidly crept down the halls among the formidable upperclassmen, and were sneered at by the most adult Sophomores. But this Freshman class had strong determination and high goals to at- tain-they were going to do the things no other classes had ever done, and they were going to make the class of '44 memorable to all who thumbed through the historic annals of Dobyns-Bennett High School. For class officers they elected Jim Pyle, Shirley Pyle, Phil Cox, Richard McConnell repre- sented the class in the Student Council. After two terms of combat with Latin verbs and science experiments, these less- energetic frosh became the well-deserv- ing, sassy Sophomore class in 1941-42. That year, under the able direction of Miss Clara Carson, the Sophomores made their stage debut with a play entitled That Crazy Smith Family -a howling comedy. lt was in that same year that these Sophomores became interested in the various scholastic activities. Before the end of the year every activity in school was represented by at least one Sophomore. Kenny Curtis, Martha Clark Kane, Alf Crawford, and Jim Pyle held class oftices, while Jean Drury and Richard Mc- Connell spoke for the class in the Student Council. When three more pages had been torn off the calendar, a slightly larger group Q thanks to that remnant of not-so-studious studentsi occupied over one hundred and thirty assembly seats, and assumed the airs of dignified, yet jolly, Juniors. The realiza- tion of fewer candy bars and cokes, fewer elaborate dances and banquets, and not-so- many pleasure rides brought the class to a stronger determination to excel in studies and activities. They were guided by Presi- dent Tom Pruitt, Vice-President Frank Buckles, Secretary Elizabeth Maples, and Treasurer Guerney Freeman. In the spring of 1943, the Juniors presented a roaring version of Second Childhood . Page twenty-nine
