crass i-iisronav SHORT SUMMARY OF CLASS OF '42 On September 29, 1939, a small but very significant group of young students-twenty-nine, to be exact, became organized. Previously, we had been merely Probies without much to do or say about anything in the school. It took a few class meetings to decide that every second Thurs- day evening was to be the date for our monthly meetings and that dues should be paid by the fifteenth of each month. - In December 1939 we realized that we owed the Endowment Fund a Christmas present. Our financial status was fairly low, so we raffled off a five dollar bill. It afforded us the gift and a small profit Qmuch to our surprisej. The first time our class made an appearance publicly was Community Night in February 1940. The main feature of our show and attraction for the evening was, of course, our dancing team-Dasco and London. ' On March 15, 1940, the September and February divisions were joined together enlarging our class to one hundred and eleven. Miss McConnell presided over the meeting and left with us these memorable words: Your class is as strong as its weakest member. Make the foundation of your class good and it will stand up under any pressure. We have not forgotten and have proven those words are so. Miss Mildred Cassell was elected unanimously as our class advisor on May 9, 1940. f To celebrate the end of classes in 1940, we had an outdoor supper in Keney Park on May 27. An excellent way to close the school year, don't you think? In October our Pet Show of stuffed animals made history for the school and a little cash-on- hand for us. We held it in the Rumpus Room one evening after O.P.I-I. We sponsored the Senior-Intermediate Dance on January 24, 1941 for the finishing seniors. What fun! The decorations were different-something to remember. We had musical notes and other symbols of rhythm done in black and white throughout the hall. We had so much.fun and good fortune with previous raffles that in December 1941 another took place. This time it was a collapsible flatiron. Our basket-ball team obtained the Goodwin Trophy for two years in succession and made a commendable try for it during the third year. On May 1942, a spring formal complete with Queen and Maypole was given. It was the first of its kind to be held in Heublein Hall and most successful. Respectfully submitted, JANET CLARK, Sec'y. ,. I
