However, class¬ mates, the history that I am about to read—our class history—is made up of memories that each of us will cherish, no matter where we go or what we do. We entered high school in 1939 as one of the largest freshman classes in the history of Falmouth High School. Because of the size of our class, we were divided into two groups. We spent this first year getting acquaint¬ ed with each other, our teachers, and our new environment. We returned to school the next year as sophomores. Although we did not number as many as in the previous year, we were still a large group. We had as our home room teacher, Miss Yeager, who was new to the ways of Falmouth. We enjoyed her one year with us very much. During this year we lost our principal, Mr. Bolton, who was one of our dearest friends and advisors. At the beginning of our junior year we had a new principal, Mr. Nicholls, with whom we were soon well acquainted. We were also begin¬ ning to be recognized as an up-and-coming class. Our boys and girls were on the basketball team; and we took part in the operetta, “In An Old Kentucky Garden”. We also worked very hard during the year in order to raise the necessary money to enable us to entertain the seniors at the annual junior-senior banquet and dance. We entered the senior class with a much smaller number than original¬ ly, just 52 of us, and during the year we lost several of our boys to Uncle bam. Because of the tragic situation existing in the world and because of our great need to conserve, we did not carry on many activities. Al¬ though we are not graduating with the usual elaborate exercises, we are just as proud and happy to graduate as were any of the classes which preceded us. After tonight, classmates, each of us will go out into a world entirely new to us, a war-torn world, filled with turmoil and strife. May each of us, with the help of God, be led to do the right things for ourselves and for our loved ones. Mabel Hanks TWENTY-EIGHT
