With Mr. Homann as class sponsor, we went merrily through our first year of high school, pre- senting a Freshman class party, and an all-school Valentine party. The crowning of Betty Raeber, a Junior, as Queen of Hearts, proved to be the highlight of our party and of the year. As Freshmen, we were well represented in sports and the various school organizations. 1940--- during our Sophomore year, we really entered into the spirit of things;-again giving a class and a Christmas all-school party. Besides these parties, our illustrious class participated in all the other school activities. Another planned activity was a sleigh ride, but as Mr. Snowman failed us, we couldn't have a snow party. The Sophomore boys claimed six athletic letters;-four in football and two in basket- ball. Mr. Dintleman, the present principal of Fulton High School, actéd as our class sponsor. 1941--- Our Junior year was one packed with activity and fun. We had our first opportunity to present a class play to the public and found the audience pleased at the close of the curtain. Miss V. Wildi had done a fine job of direction.Another big event of this year was the Junior- Senior Banquet, with patriotism as the theme. Everyone spent an en- joyable evening in the appropriately decorated ballroom. We had a high representation in the sports field, with four men receiving basketball letters and four receiving football letters. 1942--- Seniors---and realizing that there remained but one short year of high school, forty-five stalwarts of the Class of '43 strode back to the old Stomping Grounds, painting a picture of glee, remorse, and meditation. With the announcement of a Scrap Drive, to be held during October, the Seniors entered wholeheartedly into the round-up of all available scrap metal in the community. Salvaging an old Chevrolet truck about to be dumped, several boys toured the countryside, bringing in tons of metal for the grade school, as well as other high school classes. Despite loss of time in rescuing metal for these others, we managed to nose out the Juniors in the final tonnage,having a totul of 41,000 pounds to 29,000 for the Juniors. Melvin Reinacher,was high in- dividual, having over 9900. pounds. For our dilige nt efforts, we receiv- ed a scrap party in February plus an ample reward in coin for our hard work. Late September the Senior class decided to purchase class rings. After viewing the selections put before us by the two represen- tatives, the class chose a suitable ring from Herff-Jones. On November 19 of this year, the people of Highland were privileged to witness a remarkable performance at the Senior Play,a down-to-earth, true-to-life tale of the Jones Family. Under Miss Wildi's direction, it was a great success. All-in-all, we feel that we have completed the best vears of our life,due to the willingness of the teachers to instruct us morally and educationally, and the friendship and good will of our upper and lower classmen. We bid you adieu!
