In 1940 we entered high school, just another group of Freshmen and chose George Longazo for president. Remember how the boys held up one side of the gym at our two after-school dances—? (they still haven’t learned that the wall can stand alone)—and remem¬ ber when we persuaded the sponsors that we weren’t “too young” for an evening dance, it turned out to be the best one ever given? We called it the Mardi Gras. After enduring the nicknames of “Freshy” and “Greenhorn” for a whole year, we welcomed the idea of being Sophomores; the class elected Rudy Kovachevich for president. We had our Comhusker’s Hop and the Easter Egg Sale, which was over in two days because we were such good salesmen. Mike Kapnas and Martha Negovan were chosen as the Easter Egg King and Queen. Juniors! How long we waited to write that beneath our names. Tom Kougoufas was chosen our president for the year and under his leadership we accomplished many things. Are we the lucky ones!—the first Junior Class to order class rings and have individual pictures in the Annual. We realize there is a war on; therefore, we are selling and buying war bonds and stamps, participating in drives for scrap metal and rubber, keeping physically fit, and building up morale by helping Uncle Sam. Regardless of the unpredicted happenings, such as the falling of scenery and the breaking of the curtain cord, the stage curtain rang down on two successful performances of the Junior Play, Remember the Day. The Pow-Wow was a terrific success and everyone became “better acquainted” for the Prom. This was the climax of the year where many a heart beat more quickly and life-long friendships were made and broken as the last few strains of music died into the night. Now we are preparing to enter our last and best year of school, fully conscious of the great task that lies ahead of us, eager to absorb any knowledge that will enable us to do our job well so that we may become the better “citizens of tomorrow. 24
