ix SENCIUH ELASS HVSTUHY - Now that our high school days are coming to a close, each senior seems to realize that we, as a class, have been living through four years of happy, busy, and historic days. VVe hope to remember them always. On September 3, l94O,, one hundred twenty-six eager, excited, green freshmen wandered up the steps of G. H. S. with hopes of acquiring many honors and friendships during our high school days. We found ourselves to be the largest class that ever entered school. At this fact we were very proud and pleasedg but we since found it caused hardships, for the class was then divided into two homerooms with four different sections. After fbecoming familiar with each other and the school, we elected class officers and entered into the activities offered us. The social high spot of the year was a class picnic held at Cold Spring's Rollerskating Park. As sophomores we became better qualihed and capable of entering into the daily routine of school life. Forgetting how bashful and green we were our hrst year, we enjoyed teasing and laughing' at our new confused under-students. After a week of initiations, some of the mem- bers entered into the Senior Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y organizations, The Tri-Hi-Y Christmas play, Once Upon a Christmasf' was composed entirely of sophomore girls. in sports both girls and boys were well represented on the varsity teams. In March, for the County Education Associa- tion, two dances were presented by the girls, class members were also on the gymnastic team which gave a demonstration. By this time war had been declared, and ill studies we became more familiar with national problems and our picnic at Cold Springs was cancelled, instead, a party was held in the gymnasium. Studies were not to be forgotten, for Jean Oliver won the principal's medal for having the highest scholastic average in the high school. On September 7, 1942, we returned again as upper classmen, looking forward to a most prosperous and exciting year. VVe found many new and exciting activities each month. First, in September the class and student council officers were elected, in October the purchase of class rings was definitely decided upon, November found rings of black onyx and gold insignias or- dered for the class, a Christmas party was held in the gymnasium with games, exchanging of gifts, and refreshments, Mid-winter examinations were the chief concern in January, in Feb- ruary the class colors, motto, and Flower were selected, to aid the war effort, th class helped the teachers distribute Ration Book Two, in March we decided upon giving an operetta instead of a play. HH. M. S. Pinaforen was chosen with Miss Martin and Mrs. Toms as directors. The class song, 'fClass of '44 ' was written by Doris Greenawaltg red and white pennants and red crew hats were decided upon. On May 6 and 7 the operetta, Pinafore, was presented and it proved a great success. Class rings arrived the same day as the first performance of Pinafore.l' Although they were later than had been hoped, they were very welcome and appreciated. At the close of school, a picnic was held at the King Playground, followed by a class dance in the gym- nasium. This was the last class entertainment for many of the boys who were planning to enter the armed services. On September 20, 1943, sixty-eight seniors came back to inherit the crown of honor and leadership from our predecessors. It was then that we discovered how many of our, members had left to join different branches of the service, to get married, or to enter business. To date, twenty-four boys are in the Army, Navy, Marines, or Air Corps, while others will be called before the close of school. The senior typing Section A edited a Thanksgiving paper called The Senior Blah. This was presented to all seniors and members of the class in the service. December was a busy month, for class pictures were taken by Kelleyls Studio. On the tenth and eleventh we presented our last play, And Came the Spring, under Mrs. Toms' direction. As school draws to a close all are planning to enter this wartorn world to practice and apply the knowledge we have gained to aid in making a world of lasting peace and friendships, just as those serving in the armed forces are doing. The motto, United we stand, expresses the aim for a better world of tomorrow.
