enzfozcs in ,- Lciendsftcp Formed The senior class of 1941 made a pledge as sophomores to achieve higher honors than any previous class. As we consider what the members of our class have ac- complished since that time, txhis pledge has been well provided for. ' As freshmen, the class of '41 laid their stepping stones to success and started on their way. During the sophomore year, the class began to get glimpses of what lay before them, and soon the members commenced to receive recognition in the different activities. At this time the class of ,41 lost one of its friendliest mem- bers, John Clemmer. The accomplishments of the class of 1941 grew greater during its junior year because of the distinction its members re- ceived in basketball, football, track, oth- er sports, dramatics, and especially de- bate. As the final year for the class draws to a close, it seems that debate has be- come the most outstanding activity in the history of the class. As members of the squad, four seniors have struggled through these years and were repaid by being invited as a team to the state meet for the first time in eight years. Many seniors have received outstand- ing recognition in sports, music, and scho- lastic subjects, also. This year eight boys with admirable qualities tried for the Summerfield Scholarship. The officers of the class include Paul Wilhelm, president, Ruth Rains, vice- presidentg Sally Houck, secretary, Glenn Haekmaster, treasurer, and Josephine Steinberger, assembly representative. Due to illness, however, our treasurer was unable to complete, his senior year and Patricia Dunn was elected to fill his po- sition.
