Class History Just about three years ago we, the class of 1941, first entered the halls of Hamilton High School. We were a pretty terrified lot, what with being afraid of the upperclassmen and wonder- ing what high school was all about. For a short while our devotion was still mainly to the junior high schools from which we had come, but in less than a month we all realized that now we were really senior highschool students and were glad of it. That autumn we witnessed our first football game as bonifide members of H. H. S. Also we were inducted by our superiors, l?J the juniors andseniors fvia the water fountain and walking-- down--High--Street--in--stocking feet methodsl . Well it seemed that classes must have officers, so we decided that we wanted to be led by Glen Kessler. Bill Shank was our vice-president and Bob Kuenzel our secretary-treasurer. In April we corralled the gang in the gym and had a swell time at our first class project, the sophomore party. Came spring and then summer. We packed away our textbooks, bade the seniors of '39 sad adieu and merrily set offforC600Jindividualvacations. Three months later we returned to take on the important title of juniors. It was hard to believe we were no longer sophomores, but we were glad to be back at the old institution again, and besides, as juniors, we had gained additional prestige. Saddened by the news that war had broken out across the ocean, we all sang with renewed vigor 'God Bless America.' An innova- tion in our routine was the introduc- tion of the supervised study plan which meant staying until three o'clock. We were also saying 'Good Morning' to anew chief, for our biology teacher, Mr. Fry, had risen to the position of principal, our former principal, Mr. White, having been promoted to the of'- fice of superintendent. In our second election we moved Bill Shank up to the presidency. We brought in the feminine influence by electing Mary Morris Taylor vice president and Mary Elwell secreta.ry. Bob Kuenzel was again made chief guard of finances. Junior year meant more football and basketball games along with the junior dance ------ the junior play, 'The Late Christopher Bean.' In the merry month of May, all the lads andlasses donned frills and flowers to make the junior formal a great success. Remember how proud we were that year to be able to hear the First Lady of the Land, Mrs. Roosevelt, when she lectured at H. H. S.? In September, we returned for our final nine months of being educated-- and a deluge of campaign literature. By October, most of the sun tans had bleached, freckles were disappearing, and U. S. History books were becoming familiar objects. Portable radios abounded as we tuned in to hear the Cincinnati Reds win the World Series. We celebrated by having one grand time at the senior dance. In November the Honor Society donned overalls and straw hats and went rustic at the hay ride at Handle Bar Ranch. After laughing heartily at the junior play, we staged our own, 'The Whole Town's Talking. Several of our members also displayed histrionic ability in the Student Council opus 'June Mad. In April, the History Club presented Mlle. Eve Curie, who proved a rare treat. Now in May we are thinking seriously about this business of being graduated. Along with all the gaiety of Class Night, Commencement, and Baccalaureate, there may be a tinge of the sad, because going out into the world is different than carrying books about the halls of H.H.S. We may never be all together again as a class, but we shall always have these grand memories of the wonder- ful three years spent at Hamilton High School.
