THE FIRST LIEUTENANTS OUR CLASS OFFICERS HENRY STOUGH, Treasurer CAROL HOCKER. Secretary RUTH RICKER, Vice-President EMERY SHAFFER, President HISTORY OF THE LIEUTENANTS Boy, is it great to be a Looie! What a wonderiul ieeling to take the lront seats in assembly for the lirst time! Oi course, once the routine was established, the newness oi our superiority wore thin as we toiled from reveille till taps. Setting an example ior a bunch of privates and non-coms is no snap, but we kept our bars bright and shining and our shoulders straight. There were times when we slipped a bit-for instance the day our chief Looie was A. W. O. L. and was restricted to quarters for a week-but on the whole we came through a hard year suc- cessiully. During our last year in G. H. S. we have tried to practice democracy in our undertakings. We elected the Spy staff by popular votefthe first time in many years that students have had a part in the selection. Our Senior members oi the National Honor Society tried out a new sys- tem oi choosing members ior the organization. Every member of the junior and senior classes was allowed to vote for candidates. We hope our attempts at more democratic procedure will be followed by other classes and expanded as the years go by. Outstanding events of the year were our splendid class play. the P. T. A. party for Seniors and parents, and our tempestuous class meetings. We certainly salute our class officers tor doing a splendid job this year. Emery, Ruth, Carol and Henry were always willing to work to the limit to go over the top for the Class of '44. Mr. Swick has kept a kindly eye upon us and has proved an ideal sponsor-never intruding, but always there just in casel! Well, it's been great to be together all these years, taking basic training, winning our stripes and bars. We'll remember it always with pleasure, and some day when we look at a yellow- ing diploma, we'll sigh, Oh, icr the good old days in the G. H. S. barracks!
