THEIR STCRY The class of February, I942, was the first to graduate from Hoover under war-time conditions. Under the leadership of Ben Chase, president: Virginia Snyder, vice-president: and Ruth Hollingsworth, secretary-treasurer, they con- ducted many of their activities in accordance with the regulations of the Civil Defense Authorities. On November l8, the first after-school dancing class was held. This group met every Tuesday in the Girls Gym under the excellent supervision of Mary Alice Van Buren. Lend Me Your Ears, the class play, was presented on December 4, 5, and 6, in the Roosevelt Auditorium, and for weeks afterwards the halls resounded with Boom With Beam. Senior Play Manager, ,Edith Osuyos, helped malre it a great success, and through the efforts of Arline Haugen and Kenneth Moyer, the house was filled at each performance. Just before Christmas students received their announcements. The distribution was under the supervision of Marjorie Wise. With Ditch Day, January 9, the years' activities really got underway. Lux- uriant Greyhound busses were used and the students rode up in style to Pine Valley where they spent a memorable day playing ball, dancing, hiking, horse-back riding, and most important of all, indulging in delicious barbecued beef a la Clar- ence Watters, Ben Chase, and Merl Ledford. January 29, the Senior A Edition of the Cardinal was issued, and H. Stanley Thomas produced an excellent paper. January 30, the Senior prom was held in the Woman's Club House. Students gladly cooperated with Civilian Defense Authorities, and the dance toolr place from 5:00 to 8:30. Because of the careful planning of Mary Alice Van Buren and Ted Livingstone Seniors spent an unforgetable evening. The first day of February, Seniors attended the quiet and beautiful Vesper Service at the First Congregational Church. Vesper Chairman, David Hanna, planned this service. Tower Day, February 3, Seniors were presented their hard-earned medals and scholarships. Following the ceremony they climbed the tower to add their signa- tures to the roster. Dorothe Long was in charge of the Commencement Exercises which were held in the Hoover Boys' Gym at 4:30 in the afternoon of February 4. Class orators, Frances Kazanslry and Leonard Cosgrove, spoke on our modern war-time society. Then, with the distribution of long-awaited diplomas, the Senior A's were graduated, thus completing their high school careers. ir uk
