SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Rlaclc. presidentg Maure, secretary: Ivy, vice presidentg Post assembly representa- tive: Casserly, treasurer. After four short years of fun and their place due to the war flux in our hard study the seniors have finally at- population. tained their goal-graduation from high school. During their high school years, the seniors have taken part in a number of activities. They have been active in de- bate, dramatics, science, art, and musical organizations. They have been outstand- ing in such activities as football, basket- ball, and are well represented in the Pep Club. Little did the senior class realize when they were juniors that there would be many changes made in their lives at school before they would be able to say, I am a graduate from high school. The out- standing things that have happened this year, of course, have been directly related to the war effort. A number of the boys are already in the service of our country, and the speed-up education program has pushed many of the would-be seniors into college classes. This year's class is approximately two hundred strong. Although many stu- dents have dropped out during their high school training course others have taken Page 17 The class has been outstanding in athletics. This included such sports as swimming, football, basketball, track, golf, and tennis. Through out their four years of high school preparation they have striven to make themselves outstanding in sports. This was accomplished with great success, while they proved them :elves to be superior in the ideal of sports' manship itself. The senior class officers for this year were: Donald Black, presidentg John Ivy, vice presidentg Thelma Maure, secretaryg and Bill Casserly, treasurer. Two seniors we should commend are Jack Barnes and John Ivy. Both have been president of their class during previous years, and this year are members of the student council, and both have served as president of that organization. Looking back at their school life, the seniors of '43 feel that they have complet- ed high school in a commendable manner, and have maintained the standards which were set by the classes which preceded them.
