SENIOR CLASS HISTORY It is true that ’’Time Marches On’’ but it does- n’t seem so long since the year of 1938 v-hen we the Senior Class of Forty- Three, entered high school. We were told that our high school days would be the happiest days of our lives and we started out to make them so. Indeed our career through school has been marked with many accomplishments and achievements, many defeats and many failures; through it all we gained the stamina to further success. Let us go back to September, 1938, and get a view of how these dignified Seniors looked and acted during their freshman year. We were very frightened, because we v ere not used to high school. It took us quite a while to get used to the ringing of bells, the changing of classes, and always being called ’’Freshies” . During the freshiran year, we soon learn- ed that the path through high school was not to be- strewn wdth roses. Then came our sophomore year. We thought that our freshman year was hard; during our sophomore year we found out there was a steeper hill to climb. We gave a game tournament and won a soft ball trophy that year.
