IN' 110X01? OF OUR BOYS IN THE SERVICE The Senior Class of ’44 wishes to honor in this volume of the Harrodian, these former classmates of ours who. are answering another kind of roll call far away from home. It is with respect and devotion that we honor these courageous lads, who so willingly met their sacred obligation in exchanging the rolled-up trouser leg and gaily painted jalopy for their neat khaki and jeep. -7- TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION We, the class of 1944. wish to express our sincere appreciation to the Harrodsburg Board of Education for their ceaseless efforts to maintain and improve our school. In a year of extreme unrest due to world conditions that touch us all, we have enjoyed a full and well planned year, and we realize that it is due to their efforts that we have had this privilege. We wish to thank them individually for the time taken from their business and professions to plan and execute a school life that is truly American. .a-ttJietiricScaBC. •' £ ii. y: .t.tj.,:. . . ,i J . .A'i. 1 . z v vl 1 -- 4 1 - - - — 1 lo ocrrrrlo? rri tonorf o.t 'oc: iv M-' io v orfT ■foTT-'irp.

SENIOR CLASS The ultimate goal in our high school career has been attained. We now have the privilege of contemplating, in retrospect, this phase of our education. In pursuit of higher learning, we encountered, at times, the snares of disillusionment, bewilderment, and fatigue which had to be overcome by devotion and patience. These difficulties, however, were compensated for by the happy fellowship we enjoyed as a class. The year was 1940. The freshmen, eager to begin their untried adventures in the institution of high school and anxious not to blunder, began to fulfill the initial scholastic requirements. There were many activities to relieve the monotony of studying, however. Our first definite action was to elect our officers who were: Reva Wells, President; Nancy Glass. Vice-President; H. L. Peavler, Secretary; Glenn Ray, Treasurer. Athletics was of major importance to us. The alacrity and ability of our boys who participated won for them the observers’ prediction of becoming attar players both in football and in basketball. The freshmen who took part in the bouts on the gridiron were: Joe Humber, Calvin Trisler, E. G. Duncan, W. D. Veatch, “Tiny” Foster, John Yates, John Phillips, and Bobby Leonard. Our promising basketball players were: Jack Park, J. C. Powell, E. G. Duncan, David Reed, and Hi L. Peavler. “Pud” Smith was elected our cheerleader. The various clubs were a source of pleasure and enlightenment. Our upper class-men, out of respect for our abilities, elected some of us as officers in the organizations. Nancy Glass was Vice President of the Latin Club, Ruby Smith held the position of chief executive, and Frances Phillips of treasurer of the Junior Girl Reserves Club. E. G. Duncan was President and Archie Lacefield was Secretary of the Junior Hi-Y Club. Many of us enjoyed our membership in the Glee Club. We had a number of youthful dramatists in our midst. As partners with their older colleagues, Nancy Glass, Celia Moore, Charlotte Corn, Arch Lacefield, David Reed, J. C. Powell, “Pud” Smith, Jack Park, and Elsie Jeanne Stokes struggled through numerous debates with a majority of victories to their credit along with valuable experience. Several of this group also won individual honors in the national Forensic League. The next year, more self-reliant and determined to succeed, we again made the school conscious of our presence in scholastic achievements, athletics, and dramatics. V c selected as our officers: E. G. Duncan, President; Reva Wells, Vice President; Jack Park, Secretary; and H. L. Peavler, Treasurer. In December an event occurred destined to affect every one of us. America entered the Second World War; nevertheless, we continued our tasks and pleasures normally for the remainder of the year. The Junior year is always an important one, and ours was no exception. Our President, J. C. Powell; Vice President, Reva Wells; Secretary, H. L. Peavler, Treasurer, E. G. Duncan competently handled our affairs. Our Junior Minstrel and Play received the public’s enthusiastic approval. Talent was exhibited to a marked degree. Soon we felt the sting of war. The sacrifices involved became real and acute when several of our young men went into the service of their country. But we at home were resolved to do our share in providing essential material. Our immediate weapon was scrap. We heeded the emergency by scouring the town and country-side until we had salvaged approximately eighteen tons, equivalent to over two hundred dollars. The Juniors on the basketball team, including Jack Park, H. L. Peavler, E. G. Duncan, J. C. Powell, David Reed, and Bobby Leonard, were a dominant factor in -22- securing our repeated victories that enabled us to reach the finals in the Regional Tournament. At the end of the year we gave the seniors an evening of memorable entertainment at the Junior-Senior Dinner at Beaumont Inn. Joe Humber, Arch Lacefield, Ruby Smith, Adelene Parsons, Martha Leonard, Carlos Dennis, Calvin Trisler. Elsie Stokes, Glenn Ray, Letitia Mitchell, H. L. Peavler, and J. C. Powell furnished a splendid program. At last we approached the grand climax, our Senior Year. To our delight our Junior Advisor, Miss Elizabeth VanArsdall. accompanied us as Seniors. Our confidence that our officers, athletes, and dramatic artists would ably represent us was not misplaced. All of us had a sense of mingled satisfaction and pride when the curtain fell on the performance of our Senior Minstrel and Play. The best features of our first triumph supplemented by a more perfected technique resulted in an excellent production. Nancy Glass, the school’s representative in the discussion contest, ranked first in the district tournament. Celia Moore won the distinction of being chosen as the Good Citizen of our class in the National D. A. R. contest. The Senior Girl Reserves Club progressed under the expert leadership of Reva Wells. Misfortune thwarted our expectations in regard to our basketball team when Jack Park and J. C. Powell became victims of typhoid fever, and a fractured knee put David Reed out of the game. Exceptional skill was displayed by the members of the team who escaped accidents, and they proved themselves to be formidable opponents to strong rivals. Considering our ill luck, our sports season was a successful one, as we ranked fourth in the C. K. C. The outcome of the intra-mural campaign for contributions to the War Fund was gratifying because the most generous donation was accredited to the seniors. Among the most notable incidents of our class activities were the parties we gave as a farewell gesture to our boys who were inducted into the Armed Forces. It is a comforting thought and typical of our way of life that, despite a war, we have published our annual as our final undertaking to leave tangible evidence of our combined achievements. Editors, Carolyn Crossfield and Arch Lacefield, and the other members of the staff, with the cooperation of the faculty, labored energetically to make this book possible. Although it would be ideal to remain in the protective shelter of our Alma Mater, new vistas are opened before us, and we have no alternative but to follow our designated course. These past four years with their indelible memories and pleasant associations with our fellow students have done much to enrich our lives and prepare us for our place in world affairs. Our eternal thanks go to our parents and teachers whose inspiration and guidance have encouraged us to model our characters on high moral and Christian principles, and have forged within us the sparks of ambition. Few graduates have been encumbered with a greater responsibility or endowed with a more glorious opportunity. We possess the potentialities of hastening victory and establishing an enduring peace for our nation, as well as creating those forces that will develop a better world. An earth in chaos and distress needs all our knowledge and resources, while suffering humanity is calling for our strength and sympathy. May we rise victoriously to our challenge! -23- CHARLOTTE C.

Peavler: Billie Sanders: Frances Phillips: Martha Mae Worley: Philip Durr: She’s small and cute, quite entrancing, And also very deft at dancing. With pretty hair and eyes of brown. A truer friend could never be fou.'.d. To be a guest speaker is her aspiration, She sways the class with her oration. You may look the whole world over But a better student you can’t discover. She’s a very sweet little lass. The Judy Garland of our class. She’s popular in every way, One we’ll remember many a day. She’s blonde and quite sophisticated; To her this ode is dedicated. Her fingers are nimble and quick How she plays is quite a trick! Quick on her dainty feet She’s a dancer that’s hard to beat. In her books she’s very smart, She’s also graceful, and kind at heart. She’s a pupil on whom the teachers can rely, And her beauty none can deny. She’s a lively, jolly maid. Memories of her will never fade. She’s intelligent, pretty and neat; Few others with her could compete. He is mannerful and very smart, But to Adelene he has lost his heart. When it comes to imitation, Archie is a sensation. With the girls he’s rather shy. But in class, on him, we can rely. He is slender and very tall, And is a great player in basketball. He is short and small in frame; We wish for him the greatest fame. “Juicy” never thinks of money— He’s always thinking of something funny. When it comes to romance, He has all the girls in a trance. A minstrel crowd took him for their choice When they first heard his melodious voice. He’s very good at calculation, He will raise enough food to feed the nation. He’s our modern Romeo Where did Juliet go? He’s fair and very handsome, too To Ruby he’ll always be true. If you’re ever in need of fun Look for Joe—he’s the one. All the girls he seems to please, But Oh! how he does love to tease! She was a lucky kitten When she captured Willie Gritton. She’s an artist and a poet at heart, And in all activities she likes to take a part. She’s one of the ex-Burgin lasses, And she is good in all her classes. About the girls he never meditates, To him they are just classmates. -27- uJorA 3 V J f. “P P CLASS SONG rti’Si'c.

Filled with doubts and fears. We knew not then what lay ahead. But our hearts were filled with inspiration As each passing year brought us nearer Our young dreams’ culmination. We worked and tried to make those dreams come true But disappointments often came our way Oftentimes our efforts seemed in vain. Hardships overwhelmed us with dismay. Some of us have grown faint-hearted. Sorrows have beset our days; A few were struck by Cupid’s dart And chose to go in other ways. Some have answered the call of their country And are far away in a hostile land Holding high the Flag of Freedom On a distant foreign strand. They fain would be here with us They too, like us, had inspiration; And so they linger in our memory On this day of Graduation. To them we say, Farewell, dear comrades, May your courage waver never; We, your classmates, accept the challenge, Liberty shall reign forever. We know not what tomorrow may bring. But we have the courage to look ahead; As we stand at the threshold of the future, Come weal, come woe, we’re unafraid. We have fretted and we’ve studied Preparing for this great event; Now that the fateful hour approaches Our hearts with heavy sorrow are rent. In sadness we bid farewell to our teachers Who have walked with us each mile of our ways. May the wisdom gained through their teaching Abide with us all our days. -29 Frances Phillips Most Beautiful Girl ADELENE PARSONS CLASS WILL We, the Seniors of ’44, having completed our journey through high school, in full possession of our overtaxed nerves, overworked brains, and well trained memories, do make and publish this our last will and testament. We now do dispose of such estate as thoroughly crammed minds and strong willing hands have won for us. ITEM: The Senior Class now bequeaths its tremendous importance in the affairs of the school to the now lowly Junior Class. May it never grow less. ITEM: To the Sophomores we leave Mrs. Brown who will lead you through the straight and angular ways of geometry. ITEM: We give to the Freshmen Class the following advice, the acceptance of wiiich will lead them to glory: copy ’44. learn to work. It isn’t fun. You may not always win, but do not be discouraged. Look at ’44 and take heart. ITEM: To the Junior High School we leave the leisurely manner with which we go through the halls and hope they will soon find that, since they have four years more, there is no reason to rush. You had better save that energy. You’re going to need it. ITEM: To Miss Armstrong and Miss Baker we leave the silence of the halls oc- casioned by our absence. May it never be broken by our w'orthy successors. ITEM: To the faculty we bequeath our witty answers on examination papers and hope they will profit by our wisdom.

They will love them, unworthy as we feel they are, even as they have loved us; they will show them the same tender kindness and attention that they have bestowed upon us; they will feel the same sorrow when they fail. We trust that the Class of 1945 will appreciate this as deeply as we have, that it may be their most precious possession, as it has been ours, and the one we are the most loath to hand over to them. And we do hereby constitute and appoint Mr. Powell, the principal, sole executor of this our last will and testament. In witness whereof. We the class of ’44, have to this will set our hands and seals this thirty-first of May, Anno Domino one thousand nineteen hundred and forty-four.

Gayle Threlkeld, Treasurer JUNIOR CLASS It was a green, but not shy. group of beginners who entered High School in September to claim the title of Freshmen of 1941. Having spent the previous two years in the building, we felt very much at home until we entered the classrooms and met new teachers and new subjects. Not realizing what we were doing, nineteen rash spirits recklessly signed up for five subjects. We distributed ourselves among the memberships of the various clubs and athletic teams and made no bad showing at the end of the first year. Mr. Goranflo and Miss Trower were our sponsors. The greenest of the green, as we had been greeted, advanced to the Sophomore hurdle. We boldly entered into this years’ activities, but our enthusiasm began to wane with our acquaintance with Algebra II, and Caesar progressed slowly. Athletics was attempted by more boys than in the previous year and we attained honor by capturing the Class Tournament. We enjoyed a class party in the fall. Our regular routine was interrupted occasionally by an argument among our two divisions, but Mr. Dennis and Mrs. Ransdall, our two excellent sponsors, straightened out our troubles. Some of our members had begun to enter upon the more interesting phrase of school life—our associations with the opposite sex, some of which progressed as far as matrimony. We now move into our next to the last lap, the one in which we began to feel our importance and supremacy over the underclassmen. More of our students have found it impossible to return to school, the service taking some of the boys, George Edger and David Murphy, going to the Navy and Curtis Bugg staying out to work on the farm. We elected our class officers with much resentment on the part of the boys, due to what they considered unfair politics. The election resulted as follows: Nannie B. Moore, president: Eleanor McFatridge, vice-president; Barbara Asher, secretary; and Gayle Threlkeld, treasurer. Bill Long was elected editor of the Junior Journal backed by a fine staff. Work on our main task, the Junior-Senior reception, was soon begun. Miss Van Winkle, our sponsor, was ill for three months, but was able to return and finish the year with us. Mr. Black, our other sponsor, carried on during Miss Van Winkle’s absence. During the Red Cross Drive, Mary Mitchell Wooldridge. Nannie B. Moore, Barbara Jean Asher, Jeff Armstrong, and Elinor Patterson aided by helping present a program of speeches and short plays at the five county high schools. We are looking forward with both pleasure and regret to our last lap after a very happy Junior year. We sincerely hope that our foot prints on the sands of Harrodsburg High may never be obliterated.

Betty Strunk, Treasurer SOPHOMORE CLASS The history of the Sophomore Class of 1943-1944, although somewhat brief due to the severe impact of this second World War, is none the less important. Last year, as Freshmen, the Sophomores elected a most capable staff of officers: Glendon Sanders, Marshall Freeman, Otha Keightley, and Bobby Davenport. These boys led the class in two very successful scrap drives, the money from which was given to the school to aid in purchasing a motion picture machine. This year the Sophomores elected Jackie Cotton, president; Betsy Royalty, vice-president; June Morgan, secretary; and Betty Strunk, treasurer. Because it was probably unprecedented, it might be noted that the Sophomore girls had not one, not two, but three home room teachers; Mrs. Le Grand Briggs, Miss Corinne Black, and Miss Anita Waters. The boys had only one, Mr. D. K. Whitehead. The class was particularly enthusiastic over this years’ basketball team because of being so well represented by Glendon Sanders, Jim Ellers, and Marshall Freeman. The class was justly proud of these boys, all of whom earned letters. Anne Shannon McClellan was secretary of the H. A. A., and Mildred Sanders was the Sophomore cheer leader. The Sophomore boys and girls also enjoyed the other school activities although they were curtailed to some extent. They were active in both the Girl Reserves and Hi-Y Clubs, and were represented in the French, Latin, and Home Economics Clubs. Betty Patterson, Charlotte Terhune, Anne Shannon McClellan, and Catherine Demaree were indeed an honor to the class in the Dramatic Club. The Sophomore Class looks back with pleasure and satisfaction on its first two years of high school, and ahead with courage and anticipation to the Junior and Senior years at its beloved Harrodsburg High.

FRESHMAN CLASS The Memory Bool: of the Freshman Class of 1944 is proof of an active year. The inscription reads “To the Seniors. May we face the trials and tribulations of school life as well as they did.” On the first page is a picture of our officers. Joe Walker, on the left, is president of the ninth grade. Standing next to Joe is Simon Devine, vice-president. Then comes Frances McGinnis, our secretary. Ola Frances Balden, a newcomer to our class, is treasurer of our class. As we turn the page, we find a picture of our basketball team, intramural basketball tournament champions this year. One freshman, Amos Black, is a valuable man on the Pioneer first five. Page three gives due credit to the girls of the ninth grade. Hand in hand with the Girl Reserves of the seventh and eighth grades, we earned the honor of having the largest attendance at Bible Study Class during the first four weeks of the course. Bessie Tewmey, dressed in her white sweater and blue skirt, is the Freshman cheerleader. She was chosen from the three Junior High cheerleaders to wear the colors this year. The pages turn faster as the school year draws to a close. On the few remaining pages are posted the mementoes of the Girl Reserves’ hay-ride—snapshots of the long, glorious spring days—books forgotten on the campus—yes, the Seniors of 1947 have started on their road to success!

Anna Sue Cloyd, Treasurer _________________Ii JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL Last year when we came to the High School with the older pupils, we felt very shy and timid. The boys and girls were in different home rooms, and selected different home room officers. The boys’ officers were Bacon Moore, Bobby Smith, and T. C. Coleman. The girls’ officers were “Sitty” Russell, Doris Merriman, Kathryn Sanders, and Rose Harlow. Later in the year we joined in school activities such as the Girl Reserves and Hi-Y. The most worthwhile activity of the Girl Reserves and Hi-Y was to give a Christmas party for the poorer children of the elementary school. The girls brought old toys and the boys mended them. Everyone brought fruit and candy. The party took place the last school day before the Christmas holidays. Not a child was slighted. Everyone received a toy and some fruit. Our teachers for the year were Miss Sinkhorn, Miss Patteson, Mr. Soper, Mr. Dennis, and Mrs. Ransdall. When school was out, we were promoted and wondered what the next school year had in store for us. September came, and everyone started to school. The teachers for the year were Miss Van Arsdall, Mrs. Bellebaum, Mr. Harlow, Mrs. Worth, and Miss Van Diver. This year we at least knew where to go. We were finally settled, and selected home room officers again. The boys and girls were in a home room together and the class officers were Bobby Sowders, Sammy Edwards, Mary Anne Peavler, and Anna Sue Cloyd. This year we had a new class to enter the school. The seventh graders took our places of the year before. They seemed to be braver than we had been as seventh graders. They had selected home room officers within two weeks of school. The officers were Betty Dean. Louis Teater, B. F. Edwards, and George Ellers. They also joined with us in Girl Reserves and Hi-Y. The Girl Reserves had approximately forty-four enrolled. The officers were Francis McGinnis. Mary Anne Peavler, Ola Frances Balden, and “Sitty” Russell. There were seventy-three boys enrolled in the Hi-Y. The officers were Carlysle Garrison, Fred Noel, Bobby Sowders, and Andy Young. Again the Girl Reserves and Hi-Y gave for the underprivileged children of the elementary school a Christmas party, which was carried on as before. Before Christmas the Girl Reserves sold Christmas seals, the money from which was used to fight tuberculosis. Later in the year the boys and girls of the Girl Reserves and Hi-Y entered Bible study, which we had each day for almost two weeks. The Girl Reserves gave a formal tea for the mothers at Beaumont Inn on March 17th. Now the school year is almost gone and next year we will go on to high school, but our places will be taken by those below us. We will be high school students, but we should look back with gratitude to those who gave us our junior high training, for these past two years will be important to our high school life. Rose Harlow.

Despite the loss of six lettermen from last year’s Regional Runners-up, the Pioneers opened the season with what was touted as one of the state’s strongest teams. After the opening game the “jinx hit the Pioneers and hit hard. J. C. Powell and Jack Park, regulars for two years, were struck with typhoid fever and were out for the year. After six games, Tony Dean, guard, suffered a broken bone in his foot and missed the next five games. Two games later David Reed, forward, suffered a broken kneecap and was out for the remainder of the year. Each time the “jinx struck, the Pioneers overcame it, to upset such teams as Shelbyville, M. M. I., and Danville, and finished with the excellent record of 14 wins and 6 defeats. The Pioneers finished in fourth place in the C. K. C. They were defeated in the District tournament by Burgin. Ralph Black was honored by being selected on the first five of the All-C. K. C. team. Bobby Leonard was selected on the second team, and Marshall Freeman and Jack Park received honorable mention. J. C. Powell and Jack Park received honorable mentions on the All-State team. Although the Pioneers lose five lettermen, they are expected to be one of Kentucky’s finest teams of next year. H. H.

S.’s finest players. This year after competing in one game he was taken ill and lost for the entire season. This was a great blow to the team as he was one of the finest athletes to play here in many years. He was All-District in ’43 and received honorable mention for All-State in ’44. JACK PARK, Center—“Big Jack” has been the leader of the Pioneers for the last two years. He was lost to last year’s team in mid-season after leading them to eight consecutive victories. This year he was lost after four games because of illness. Jack received honorable mention for All-State this year. He is one of the finest players the school has ever turned out. BOBBY LEONARD, Forward—“Bucket” was a mainstay of the Pioneers’ attack this year. He was the second highest scorer for the team this year, was a good shot and an excellent rebounder. He was honored by being selected on the second All-C. K. C. team. DAVID REED, Forward--David was an outstanding player for the Pioneers this year. He broke his kneecap in mid-season and was lost for the year. He was a good shot and rebounder, and will be missed very much by next year’s team. H. L. PEAVLER, Guard—“Goonie” was a great help to the team this year. He was an excellent shot, also a good man on defense and rebounds. He could play all positions and helped save many games. TONY DEAN, Guard—“Rock” was an excellent floor man and set shot. He was forced out of action for five games because of a broken foot, but returned to action to play good ball. He should be one of the outstanding players on the hardwood in ’45. ALBERT ROBERTSON, Guard—“Seibert” was a very valuable man throughout the season. He is a good floor man and set shot. He should be a very valuable member of next year’s squad. MARSHALL FREEMAN, Guard—“Jug” played outstanding ball all season. He was a good floor man and defensive player. He is only a Sophomore and should be one of H. H. S.’s finest players by the time he graduates. JIM ELLERS, Forward—Jim stepped into the starting line-up in the middle of the season and played good ball the rest of the year. He will be a valuable man on next year’s quintet. GLEN DON SANDERS, Forward—Glendon was an excellent substitute this year. He is only a Sophomore and should be outstanding in the next two years. RALPH BLACK, Center—“Amos” was high scorer for this year. He is also a very fine defensive player. He was selected on the All-C. K. C. team and was honored by being elected Captain. He will be back next year for a very fine season. BOBBY DAVENPORT and BILL YOUNG, Managers—Bobby and “Ig” worked hard this year and helped the team through many tight games. The team is fortunate in having them back next year. EVAN HARLOW, Coach—Mr. Harlow came here from Willisburg with a fine record, and he maintained it by leading the Pioneers to a very successful season. He was very popular with the members of the team. We hope he will be here to have another fine season next year. -54- SENIOR GIRL RESERVES Reva Wells ........................................ Frances Phillips ..................................

Our high school days are almost over; our little joys and sorrows are going the way of all things mortal. In these hectic days of world conflict the knowledge and comradeship we have gained at Harrodsburg High School will serve us well in gaining the victory we all desire. We go forth with high hopes, clad in the armor of optimism. It may be that discouragements await many of us, but that is for the future. Today!—today is one full of opportunities on the home front as well as on the fighting front. As we close this history of our high school achievements we wish that the four years spent here might be forty-four. So to Harrodsburg High School we say, “Thanks for the opportunity to acquire an education, thanks for the hopes of a bright future, and thanks for courage to make a better world with everlasting peace.” (’.
