We began school in September with thirteen pupils. It was rather hard for us to get used to being Juniors but we finally got settled down and became accustomed to the dignified title. Soon after school started we began thinking about our class play which we were to present November 11. After searching through hundreds (at least it seemed like that} of play catalogues we finally decided to present Everybody's Crazy Now by Don Pierre. We gave this play in order to raise funds for the annual Junior-Senior Banquet. Another important event was the day we ordered our rings. We decided on a yellow gold ring with pink and riiite gold trimming. We received our rings in November. Before Christmas vacation we had our usual high school party with an exchange of gifts. We came back to school in 1944 to resume our usual regime. However we weren't so glad to come back to take our first semester exams in a few weeks. We all heaved a great sigh of relief when they were over. January 26 we presented our assembly program which we had been working on for some time. In it we brought several people before our improvised court, heard their cases and pronounced their sentences. On Washingtons birthday, February 22, the Junior boys won the inter-class tournament so we decided to celebrate by going to Wauseon to see Ali Baba and the Forty Theives . No one enjoyed the show but we did have a lot of fun. We've had our bad days as all Juniors will but we've had a lot of fun this year and we hope we've learned some- thing useful that we can take with us as Seniors next year. Our officers are as follows: Marguerite Snyder, Pres- ident; Joan Willson, Vice-president; Harold Galbraith, Sear» tary and Treasurer; Norman Bratton, Cabinet Member; and Miss Haas, Advisor.

 riJVJu’ i i FRESHMEN We started to school with seven boys and seven girls. Our Initiation was in October. We enjoyed ourselves day and night, although because of the War (so they said) we couldn't eat anything during school time. The girls dressed like Lil' Abner and the boys like Daisy May. We also gave our assembly the same day. We enjoyed an ice-skating party at Delta in January. Most of our boys played basketball. A few girls joined Girl Reserves, Boosters, and Glee Club. Some of us participated in the Institute, either in the band or in the mixed chorus. Our officers are; president, Berneda Rechtine; vice president, Allyn Schmitz; secretary and treasurer, Marilyn Putman; news reporter, Florence Thomas; cabinet member, Luella Watkins; advisor, Miss Libbe. SOPHOMORE School opened September 13, 1943 with seventeen members. Before long Homer Watkins left us and Stanley Hilton joined our class. During the school year we had three parties; one a weiner roast at Mann's Corners, an ice skating party at the Delta reservoir, and a roller skating party at Mann's Corners. We enjoyed all of these very much. May seventeenth we gave our assembly for the school. Our officers are as follows: president, Ivan Xigar; vice president, Bill Gorey; secretary and treasurer, Collen Hildreth; cabinet member, Duane Lau; news reporter, Margaret Wood; advisor, Miss Burkhard.
