THE SPHINX .... 1944 THE SENIOR crass President .......A... ............. I oe Wright Vice-President .........,... .......................... D orothy Nestler Secretary-Treasurer ........ .......................... V irginia Torreyson Class Advisers .......... ...,,.. M r, Brenneman and Mr. Eckerle Class History The history of the graduating class of 1944 has been more varied and changing than perhaps any other class to graduate from G. T. H. S. In the course of four short years we have seen our country enter into a defensive war and then have seen it slowly change to the offensive. Since December, 1941, when we were sophomores, our daily life has been altered more and more from purely peace- ful activities to a life full of such things as rationing, salvage, and war bond buying - - all activities directed toward the war effort. In the fall of 1940 we were as green a class of freshmen as this school has seen. A little mild fun from the upper classmen did not daunt us 5 it merely made us feel we were a little more a part of the school. We chose as our first officers, Duane Dilenbeclc, joe Wright, and Dwayne Miller. Our sponsors, Mr. Soukup and Miss Young, immediately launched us in earning money for our prom which we would produce when we were juniors. As a result the class treasury grew rapidly through the sale of candy, pop, etc. at the football and basketball games. During our sophomore year we became more active in the extra-curricular activities. We entered into speech, music, and athletic groups, and many of us distinguished ourselves in those fields. This year the Community Council dances were inaugurated much to our pleasure. Our ofhcers were Arlo Kemmis, Dale Sand, and Romayne Frels, and our sponsors were Miss Young, Miss Morrow, and Mr. Soulcup. Mr. Soulcup, however, entered the Army in January of 1942. When we entered our third year, we at last became upper classmen. Class leaders this year were, Jo Anne Hammer, Phyllis Blumenstein, and Lucille Firch. Our sponsors, Mr. Brenneman and Miss Young, directed us very aptly in the production of our prom when we were host to the seniors. Our patriotic theme was most timely for the occasion. The last year at G. T. H. S. was full of hints of graduation - - rings, class play, senior pictures, and alumni. . Joe Wright, Dorothy Nestler and Virginia Torreyson directed our class organization, and Mr. Brenneman and Mr. Eckerle were our capable sponsors. This last year was the climax of a full high school career. Life-long friendships had been made, and a sympathetic understanding for each other had been developed. ' Upon leaving high school, our future is uncertain. Many of the boys will enter the armed forces and join classmates who left school before graduation so they could do their bit. No doubt a number of the girls will enter the services also. What ever we do, we will be able to face the future unafraid. We have been carefully prepared and tempered to enter a chaotic and disrupted world, and we are con- fident that we can overcome the darkness thatplooms over us and build a new world that is bright and shining and free.
