You will recall that one day in September, 1939, forty-nine green Preshmen eagerly hurried back to school only to find themselves loaded down with books and lessons. Boon after we assembled and had a class meeting. le elected Lillian Diet- rich as President: Donna Todd, Vice President: Loretta lclillisms, Secretary: and Alice Busted, Treasurer. Por our class advisor we chose lr. lcDonald. Soon after we were initiated by our betters, the Sophomores, and had to en- tertain them by doing stunts, walking to Perrinton, and other things which they thought would fit us better for the forthcoming years. During this year we had wiener roasts, skating parties, and other parties. By the end of the y ar me had lost some from our number but others came to fill their places. It as not long before we were let out for our summer vacation which, I think, the teachers needed worse than we. The next fall we returned to school with fiftysthree members. At our first class meeting we chose the folloling to be our representatives: President, Bes- sie Parfitti Vice President, Joyce Miller: Secretary and Treasurer, Loretta Mc- Williams: and class advisor, lr.

Throughout this year we had various parties. le sold candy, Christmas cards, and put on the play, 'The Black Derby, in April. The next year I6 came back as Juniors, but our class had decreased to only forty-three.
