unioz Calais This is the history of the class of nineteen hundred forty-four. VVe have maintained the largest membership of any class in the history of G. H. S. Our large group is divided into three sections, with three home rooms. Miss Phillippy is in charge of Room 5, Miss Williams super- vises Room 6, and Mr. NVhitmore is in charge of Room 2. On September 25, 1942, the first meeting of the year was held. A temporary chairman and a temporary secretary were named. Nominations for class officers were made. Class offi- cers were elected, with Mary Morter and Howard Gift representing us in Student Council. In early October it was decided to buy rings, and on November 2, the voting was done in the office. However, the rings did not come before Christmas, which was a great disappointment. The Christmas season was soon upo11 us and lovely decorated trees were seen in the home rooms. In the school gymnasium on December 23 the Christmas party was held, and the program consisted of carols, games, and refreslnnents. Gifts were exchanged, and much fun was had by all, Ordinarily, we would be jolly juniors, but now we have been sobered by the war. No weiner roasts, skating or sledding parties have been enjoyed this year for each classman felt it his patriotic duty to stay at home. VVhen some member is especially melancholy, we know that farewells have been given to loved ones going to aid Uncle Sam, or that a loved one in the armed forces is in danger. Some class members have been lured from school to join different branches of the ser- viceg others into the world of business opportunitiesg others to getting married. Many junior girls have been active in the defense stamp drive conducted by the Tri-Hi-Y, and many of our classmates buy stamps regularly. Both boys and girls have entered into the sports picture and have helped make cham- pionship teams, especially in basketball. Mid-winter examinations were included in our busy schedule. The president selected a play committee composed of Violet Wiatson. Suzanne Shuman, Mary Louise Gingrich, Thelma Angle, Henry Barnhart, and john Springer. They had busy days trying to agree upon a definite productiong and on March ll, a vote of the class decided to have an operctta. Pinafore was chosen, and Miss Martin and Mrs. Toms were the directors. On February l0, the voting was held by secret ballot for class motto, class color, and class fiower. .RX committee was appointed to decide upon class hats and pennantsg however, we have few hopes of getting such mementos this year. Those who were writing a class song went together as a music committee. A number of junior boys are taking a correspondence course in aviation, showing that our thoughts are directed toward preparing intelligently and being able to help in the winning of the war. Our hopes are for victory before the boys in our class will be taken for the army. Ordinarily we are joyous over birthdays, but now we usually know when boys reach eighteen, for they must register at the local draft board. W'e are silent while we wish that peace, not war, could rule our lives. The making of a good and lasting peace is now prime in our minds. Fifteen ! 1 l 4 1 4 X' l 1 1 1 J
