CLASS HISTORY Now the curtain is slowly drawing to a close over our High School career. At first, the curtain seemed to move very slowly, but we, the class of '45 real- ize that it is gaining speed every day. As my mind drifts back to the past, it is with great pleasure I remember the years our class have spent together. In the year 39 and 40, Mr. Peters enrolled S0 wide eyed eager students. The officers: President-W. C. Morris, Vice-President-Margie Allen, Secretary- Curtis Johnson, Treasurer-Catherine Griffin. After getting used to shifting about changing classes we gained a beachhead and started our High School edu- cation. Mr. Qwatch me now, I'b trickyj Garry gave a guiding hand in '40 and '41 by trying to get our minds on our studies. Betty Brown Won the title of the pret- tiest girl of Glencoe High. The class officers were President-Ruby Moore, Vice- President-Catherine Griffin, Secretary-Jo Smith. In ,41 and '42 Mrs. Bruner received 42 energetic freshmen into her home room. December 8 of '41 was different from any other school day we ever ex- perienced as the U. S. declared war on Germany and Japan. Little did we realize how this could change our lives. In '42 and '43, forty-nine pupils entered Mrs. Summersgroom for their Sophomore year. This was Coach Harold Wright's first year, he produced a successful football team, with only three points being scored on his team. In '43 and ,44, Mrs. L. S. Qbless your soul, Powell enrolled forty-two jolly juniors. Our officers were: President-Jane Stith,- Vice-President-W. C. Morris, Secretary-Carthell Norwood. Our motto was Do your best, when you get tired, sit down and rest. QWe're still restingj . On April 27, our junior class gave a party honoring the seniors. Marion Talbot was selected prettiest girl Dolores Harris most popular, and Paul Hicks best looking boy. In '44 and '45, Mrs. Cecil Edgar enrolled 36 dignified Seniors. This, of course, Was our most outstanding year. We had several new teachers including, Mr. E. M. Robinson, principal, Mrs. Robinson, Mrs. Hunt, Mrs. Rodemacher, and Mrs. Campbell. We all had a wonderful time at the Jr.-Sr. party, November 6. It was some- thing we will always remember. We also sponsored the popularity contest which ended November 21. Clara East won the tide of Miss G. H. S. 1 As our annual goes to the press, we are still making history. The expecta- tions of the next four months are great in the hearts of ourclass. j The coming events will be vivid enough to make history without being publishe here. Nettie Lay, Clas Historian. I 1
