Class Histor 1939-1940 It was a very warm' and wet evening. Such was the night that the Class of '43 came into being. That night was June 8, 1939. When we were freshmen, we had many activities. Probably the two that will stay in all our minds the longest are the play, 'lHans Brinker, and our trip- to the New York World's Fair. This trip was well liked by everyone. With our play we made enough to pay for our admission into the Fair, a sight-seeing tour, our transpor- tation, and each student received seventy cents as spending money. We will cherish all the memories of this year, for everyone was happy-a. person couldnlt be otherwise with the splendid leadership we had. 1940- 1 941 ln September, we entered the Bordentown High School with plans for a year full of activities. We started out with 'a picnic at Browns Mills. That night every- one rode home filled to the brim with hot dogs and soda pop. Our next activity was our first formal dance, the Sophomore Hop. The year ended with a trip to Philadelphia. We visited the Franklin Institute, the Art Gal- lery, the Aquarium, and last., but not the least, the Zoo, where everyone met some long lost friends. And so school closed for the year. 1941-1942 Our Junior year was comparatively light in activities. The highlight of the sea- son was the Junior Prom with Kip Harbourt and his orchestra. doing the musical honors. The ball room decorations followed a patriotic theme. Large silver V's were placed conspicuously about on the walls, and above the bandstand streamers of red, white, and blue were strung from end to end. We relinquished the traditional trip to Valley Forge because of the war and lack of transportation facilities. The inactivity of this school year' was due, largely, to the destructive and disas- trous fire of B. H. S., which occurred on January 9, 1942. 1942- 1 943 Seniors at last! And in our own high school, Florence Township High! We are still a little awed by the realization of the fact that Wye are taking our last steps in our high school career. We are quite proud to be the Hrst graduating class of Florence High School, and haver fond memories of our activities in our last year. At our first class meeting we elected oflicers, who we thought would best fill the office to which they were elected. Of course, we needed money for the various activities we were to participate in this year and in order to raise this money we held weekly dances. These really were very splendid social events and everyone, including the teachers who Zlt- tended, had fun and enjoyed themselves immensely. The next event which took place was our senior ball. This was a semi-formal affair and the auditorium was decorated beautifully for the occasion. The decorations were in our class colors, blue and white. The senior ball will long be rememibered because we seniors feel that it was the best affair of the year. Next on our Hit Parade was our senior play. The play comfmittee selected a three-act comedy, Nothing But the Truth, which was presented on January 6th and 7th, This was a successful production due to the efforts of Doctor Moreland, the director the cast andi also the- teachers whoi helped. 1121
