QTOWLEJ for ow Who can forget those shy Freshman days when we were in school . . . Oh yes, and what ambitions we had - we were going to be great - maybe even president! - tskl tsk! such optimism!! . . . How bright and eager we were each morning to come to school . . . We met new friends each day and worked lwe were Freshmen thenll with them in class and played with them outside . . . Re- member our Freshman Dance lthat's what we called itll with all the boys holding up the walls and the girls just as bashful - or do you remember how some girl cornered you and tried to teach you the Chorus Girl ? - Oh Misery!!! . . . Well, boys, we finally did loosen up, didn't we? . . . And AFTER the dance -l wonder why those girls made cracks about Safety'.' shoes?!?l - Anyhow, long lived the memory of having held close to you the girl that appealed to your sense of affection . . . we walked on air for weeks . . . we even forgot about that Glag in Algebra . . . or was it Biology??? . . . Oh yes, we sold green bows that year, too . . . Remember how proudly you wore five or six of them at a time? . . . That was the year Olga Layko was president . . . How time flies! Three months have gone by and the sun came up over a hundred times . . . What a difference that made in our character, atti- tude, and sense of humor!! . . . From those green Freshmen we became those wise Sopho- mores who knew it all . . . so we thought . . . What we did that year?? . . . Don't ask me . . . I didn't rightly remember . . . Oh yes, we sold Easter eggs and Marge Bellis and Gus Cougias were King and Queen . . . Well, so what . . . they were happy!!! . . . That's the year most of us worked the hardest and barely had any extra time . . . well anyway, SOME people worked hard!! Sure! and some new romances . . . Fesko and Barnev . . , were started and no speaking terms, too . . . but what did we care . . . That was also the year that Helen Fusiek was our president . . . Heil, Hinkellll Two years have gone by and here we are, full-fledged juniors . . . only one more year of struggling left . . . groan . . . We chose Larry Badylak as our president . . . Does he still have the keys to the voting machine? . . . and Harold Archybald Psimos as our vice- president . . . ln that year a Mr. George Garl- ton Swanson came to our school . . . remem- ber him? . . . that's a enough sighing, girls . . . and teachers, too . . . No one will ever forget the junior Play Barbara Frietchie Page Seventv-six which Miss Kelly directed and the entire high school enjoyed . . . Let's see, we gave a junior dance, a Pop Corn Sale, and a Pencil Sale . . . we were all Salesman Sams . . . Yes, and some of us were even fortunate enough to go to the May Ball, the F.G.A.A. Banquet, and the Prom . . . Oh boy!! did we have a swell time . . . it was worth promising to cut our neighbor's lawn all summer because we boi- rowed his car . . . For the next week or two we didn't quite see the sidewalks we walked on or hear everything said to us . . . t'jour armour . . . need l say more? . . . And this was the year some fool by the name of Hitler . . . a paperhanger who spends his time think- ing up new world maps to satisfy his day- dreaming . . . wishful thinker that he is . . . decided he'd take about a year time off to make those dreams a reality . . . three years have gone by . . . he's still trying . . . idiot!!! Well, here we are . . . look at us . . . We're run- nig the school now and if you classmen don't like it, welli! - ! ! . . .Yes, we're all big shots now . . . look at the distinguished offices we hold . . . But thank goodness we haven't become so self centered that we don't know our friends any more . . .By now our life has been just about chosen for us-if we could only start over again. We'd do it the very same way!!! Marce Gonzalez was our president this year - Yep!! he stole the keys from fLarry!! - And who can forget that excellent performance of Thornton Wilder's Our Town for our Senior Play? . . . Nope you can't even compare it! . . . Well, how about after the play . . . have any fun? . . . And soon the girls were faced with the most . . . most . . . excruciating . . .Web- ster defines it as painful task of their lives . . . picking an escort for the affairs . . . How the boys were picked apart bone by bone and limb by limb at the Tea Sessions the girls held . . . and were classified as Ummmmmmmm, sayl! . . . Not Bad . . . Will do in a pinch . . . and l'd rather stay home and read a good magazine! . . . And isn't this the year we got stabbed in the back by the japs? . . . Well, we'll show them . . . How??? . . . Well, we baled paper, newspapers, cardboard, and even maga- zines . . . We sold Savings Stamps and Bonds . . . We registered men for the draft and rationed sugar, too, . . . ANYTHING for OUR country!!! . . . Well, let's see what we had to get this year . . . calling cards, rings, invitations, evening gowns, and . . . and . . . just loads of things . . . How did we pay for them? . . . Oh, we had them sent' . . . C.O.D .... Call On Dad!!! . . .Oh Boy!!! . . . There's the Prom . . .Every- time you see someone in the hall your heart starts palpitating to swing time . . . you know what I mean . . . That night will live long in our memory . . . everything except what Pa said when we came in like a culprit at 4 A.M .... Well, it's time to go, friends . . . Commencement's here . . .and you can hear the faculty breathe a sigh of relief . . .problem children, weren't we . . . and l thought they would be sorry to see us go . . . From school some got edu- cations, others got experience . . . some got heart trouble . . . a few got A's . . . many got Special Re- ports . . . But we all have our memories.
