HISTORY of the CLASS Let us turn back the clock. It is now September, 1941. Most of us are green from Junior High. Our first major task is making the Career Books. Oh, how we all slave', whole day without class . . . Remember Career Day? A Being freshmen gives us a new set of privileges. At last we are allowed to go to the Hallowe en Dance. Are we proud! No one less than a Frosh ” is there. . . Then of course we all recall the Ancient Mariner” from first year English. . . When it comes to grades we certainly show the upperclassmen up. Yes, we have the Honor Banner for the entire year! ! Well, so much for 1941, and now let’s briefly look to 1942. As we view the scene, we are all sad saps”. . . One of the highlights of the sophomore year is Monsieur Beaucaire”. . . And then th re is geometry class-ooo! The musical comedy is especially good—the cast is sprinkled with Sophs.” In third year high, we first start to live. No longer are we dirt underfoot, we are UPPER CLASSMEN! . . . We help put the school ahead with the bond drive. . . Monk does the class proud by winning the General Mac- Arthur Christmas Card contest. . . This is also the year the French class goes to New York City. . . Five class members make National Honor in 43. . . Julius Casear” certainly holds memories for all. . . And there is the Junior Prom. Ah, that prom! It is the best H.H.S. has ever had. How we work; but what results! I’m sure most of us won’t ever forget! . . . The girls help purchase the juke box for the school. . . The outstanding subject of the year is History C. Remember? Last, but not least, we come to the final and best year of our high school days, the senior year. Sinatra comes in with a whirl and the girls go ga ga— especially Rita. . . Then comes the Oratorical Contest. . . Members of the senior class are chosen for All State Choir. . . Eddie” C. becomes a celebrity by his outsanding part in sports. He shows other schools that good old H.H.S. is really on the map. . . At this time, we come to our super foot- ball team. They are given a dinner because they bring us out on top. Howie’ and F.D.R. have something in common in ’45. . . The senior play and the senior essay cause many of us to lose sleep. Oh, those 7:45 practices! I We squirm to recall. . . And, then we come to the Senior Ball— the one we almost didn’t have! . . . Although we don’t get to Washington, we do take a trip in May. . . Then graduation! Such a beautiful word. So ends our retrospect of the past. Yesterday has just slipped around the bend, and tomorrow is nearer than most of us realize.
