Senior Class 'THE class of '41 is graduating in a year of heightened patriotism, of big de- fense programs, of sabotage, selective ser- vice and war overseas. Realizing this, the seniors are glad that during the past twelve yea1's, they have been privileged to study and grow under a Star Spangled Banner which symbolizes a country wherein edu- cation for the masses is considered es- sential if freedom is to stand. Highland Park School has become a real part of every student who has ever sought education in her halls and class- 1'ooms. Nine of the members of the 1941 senior class started their first year of grade school in the Highland Park Schools and have been classmates ever since. These old settlersn are: Barbara Ann Bartels, Ethel Dahlstrom, Sanford Myze1', Roberta Shimer, Marjorie Stitt, Harold Epling, Raymond Lusco, Julia Hamilton, and Wayne Fowler. ln 1937, a banner year for the Scotties both in music and sports, the class entered their first year of high school. Mr. Ralph Dellinger and Miss Ruth Weavei' were chosen by the class as sponsors for the freshman year. Miss Golda Crawford and Mr. Francis Carpenter served as sponsors during sophomore and junior years. Something really different in plays was given when the class as juniors presented wllhe Hoosier Schoolmastern under the direction of Miss Glada Strode. Complete with pre-Civil Wai' costumes, crude Hoo- sier language, and real character acting on the part of the large cast of 27 members, the play was presented to a full house. Outstanding also in the history of the class was the 1941 junior-senior prom. Under the direction of Miss Crawford, sponsor, and Lois Cheatwood, president, a bold pirate theme enhanced by red and gold decorations was carried out. As seniors, the class has been honored by the selection of the president of the stu- dent body and the kings and queens of the carnival, '4Highlander, and sports from its members. Social activities for the year included two parties in the gymnasium and a picnic on Thursday of the last Week of school. Following Baccalaureate services on Sunday evening, May 25, Commencement exe1'cises will be held May 26 with Dr. James Chubb of Baker University as prin- cipal speaker. As the 1941 seniors, in tra- ditional caps and gowns, receive their diplomas, they go out with an inherent ap- preciation of the land of the free, equaled by a dogged determination to meet the challenge of proving it 'cthe home of the brave. 141
