THE TROJAN 11 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Motto: What fe Are To Be, We Are Becoming.- Colors: Maroon and White Flower: Carnation We began the year of 1939 when forty-one proud but slightly confused Freshles entered the old red brick school building on South Hillsdale Street. During the first week of school the following took on their duties as class officers: Presldent-Ray- nond Amsler; Vice President—Jeanne Bowersox; Secretary and Treasurer—Jean Moor. Our class advisor was Miss Ruth Bacon. During our first few weeks of school we green Freshles were taken advantage of, and the usual pranks and Jokes were played on us; but we really didn't mind and before long we were made a Dart of Homer High. The Lower Mill Stream was mighty refreshing on September 18, wasn't It boys? Yes, we did receive a ducking In the annual “tug of war but If there were any hard feelings, they were forgotten after the Initiation and reception. We were all very funny looking specimens on September 21. The Sophomores gave us the Style Notes and we compiled! Our boys made very charming summer vacationers, complete with shorts and plenty of make-up. The Freshmen girls dressed as Farmerettes only with their overalls on backwards. It was fun though, and this event was followed up by the Freshman-Sophomore Reception on the 22nd. We gave our first All School Party on March 17, and needless to say, we used the St. Patrick's theme. This party was a big success and was enjoyed by all. We started the second year In our High School career with the same number of students. The following officers were elected: President—Robert Feorllla; Vice Presl- dent--Donna Vincent; Secretary and Treasurer—Jeanne Bowersox. Mr. Paul Davis took on the responsibility of Class Advisor. To our chagrin, we were again pulled through the Lower Mill stream. Of course we can always say we lost by a coin toss! This Incident was soon forgotten when we Initiated the Freshles. We gave the Freshmen a reception on Friday the 13th. It was complete with black cats, ladders, and other objects of superstition. We soonsored an All School Party on February 20, which was very well attended In spite of much Illness. The Junior class entered Homer High with an enrollment of thirty-three. The following officers were elected: Jack Blodgett—President; Frances Bowersox—Vice President; Phyllis Grimes—Secretary; and Margaret Cunningham—Treasurer. Mrs. Boughton was chosen for our class advisor. When Jack Blodgett left school, Frances assumed the President's duties. We ordered our class rings soon after school wa9 resumed and received them In November. Our Christmas project for this year, was the adoption of two sailors from Fort Dearborn. We packed boxes for them which contained everything Imaginable that we believed would help them enjoy Christmas. The next event was the All School Party that we sponsored. In April, the Junior class presented their play Where's Grandma? . It was supported by the following cast. Bonnie Barr, Elva Rising, Earl Haight, Don Haight, Robert Wyant, Frances and Jeanne Bowersox, Lorraine Anderson, and Phyllis Grimes. We wish to thank the Sophomores for lending us two of their boys to help fill In our cast. We presented the J-Hop, In honor of the Seniors, on May 29th. We also participated In the Commencement exercises early In June. We started our fourth, and final, year In Homer High with twenty-eight Seniors. At the first class meeting, officers were elected as follows: President—Frances Bow- ersox; Vice President—Earl Haight; Secretary—Phyllis Grimes; and Treasurer—Jeanne Bowersox. We began work on the Senior play soon after school started. The name of the play woe Danger—Girls Working!!! . The play hAd an all girl cast which Included: Evelyn Chapman, Clarabell Mansfield, Elsie Hakes, Mary Jane Vandenburg, Wilda Huston, Elaine Cortrlght, Bonnie Barr, Frances and Jeanne Bowersox, Lorraine Anderson, and Phyllis Grimes. For our Christmas project, the Senior class decided to replace the school flag. The flag that we saw waving over the school building every day was badly tattered and torn so we decided to take action. 0 jt Intentions were of the uest, but fate took a hand and prevented our presenting this flag to the school.
