We Look Back Back in the fall of 1939 we took over the task of running the lunior High as high-class' Fresh- inen. We were ioined that year by 41 non-resi- dent students, bringing our enrollment to 144, and George Spaulding was elected as our leader. That was the year we had the school fair, and we also were the adopters of the Student Council constitution. Miss Frances Little, Miss Frances Patmos, W-illiarii Smith, and Stcnley Frisbie helped Principal Thompson 'keep us in lineff We timidly entered the Senior lligh as llSophs under the brave leadership of Edward Grant, and the supervision of Miss Mary Allen and Boy Car- penter, who couldnt llbear to part with us, so steered us through our lunior year, too. Always breaking traditions, we sponsored the first lunior play in years, l'Bashful Bobby, We also en- livened the atmosphere with a series of elab- orately decorated school parties that we, natu- rally, think were topped only by The Woodland Fantasy, our lunior-Senior prom. Our class officers that year were President Max Baglin, Vice-President Gordon Green, Secretary lune lohnson, and Treasurer Bob Baymor, 19431 Dignified Seniors at lastl Several color- ful weeks of campaigning resulted in the election of Don Todd as president, Bob Baymor, vice- president, Alice Swanberg, secretary, and Lor- raine Murphy, treasurer. We couldn't possibly have made our Alumni dance, Senior plays, and Annual such successes without the aid of Prin- cipal Lloyd T. Smith, Miss Virginia Cooper, Miss Mabel Brown, and Bussel Bates. Eighty-six of us donned our gray caps and gowns Sunday evening, lune 6, for the Bacca- laureate service, which was held at the Church of Christ. The following Thursday morning we met on the sloping lawn south of the high school for our Class Day exercises. The next morning, Iune ll, happily stepping up onto the theater stage to receive our hard-earned diplomas, we viewed our old classmates with mixed emotions, great happiness and the sadness of parting.

Staff Publishes I7th Ionian The Senior class of 1943 presents, through the Annual Staff, this ltlonianf' The staff chose as a theme this year School Life. We think this theme shows average American life, the idea for which many of the boys in this school, in this class, and on this staff will soon be fighting. We realize this yearbook of 1942-43 could never have been published without the help of the students, faculty, townspeople, and the business men of lonia. Therefore we wish to express our deepest thanks to them. Although the staff included only ten Seniors, seventeen other Seniors, Gloria Gardner, Bob Raymor, loan Fuller, Gwen Barnes, Eric l-leitman, lames Smith, Steve Rice, Norma lean l-ligbee, Muriel Smith, Leora Moore, loyce Guernsey, Marjorie f-lague, Phyllis Hulbert, Gordon Green, Corinne Wolverton, Harold McArthur, and Ed- ward Grant, wrote articles for the literary Com- mitlee. Twenty-four sold ads and Annuals, and many Seniors helped the literary committee type copy, To Miss Mabel Brown, Principal Lloyd T. Smith, and Russel Bates, the Senior class is greatly in- debted for their many hours of hard work. Mr. Bates is a junior high teacher, and his every spare moment for many weeks was occupied in taking pictures for the Annual. T H E S T A F F Editor-in-Chief . . . . ...., . .
