History of Senior Class v v The Freshman 'Class of 1941 with eighty-four enrolled entered school looking forward to the next four years of fun and enlightment. Elmer and The Red Lamp were the plays presented under the direction of Mr. Marvin Wilkening. Glen Wilson and Kelly Blackman were the managers of the football and basket- ball squads. Judy Knox was elected Carnival Queen and Robert Bryce Goodwin was 'her manager. This was the first time this honor had ever come to a Fresh- man candidate. Even as Freshman o-ur class distinguished itself as a progressive organization. Being better acquainted with high school life, there was a greater representa- tion of our class personnel in all extra-curricular activities: debate squad, glee clubs, a cappella choir, band, football and basketball. The play was The Whole Truth directed by Miss Lillian Nothurft. As dignified upperclassmen, the Junior year was 'as successful as the preced- ing years. Again our class elected the Carnival Queen, Shirley Smith and the lettermen squad elected Alice Faye Mason Athletic Queen. By this time we had nine players on the football squad and five players 'on the basketball squad. Buster Meehan and Ray Miller were managers. Again under the able direction of Miss Lillian Nothdurft we presented a play, June Mad, one of the most suc- cessful plays ever presented in Jackson High School. Seniors, at last-how we shall miss not being able to come back to our Alma Mater next September when our other class friends enroll. The most coveted honors, Silver Arrow Queen and Big Chief, went to Shirley Mae Smith and Bud Hager. Their attendants were Adelle Rose Illers, Alice Faye Mason, Lillian Stat- ler, Bryce March, Glenn Edward Wilson and Lynn Wilkening. One of the new changes in Government which we have seen brought about is the Student Council. Our representatives were Adelle Rose Illers, later elected president and Bryce March. We are sure some of Senior athletes will be missed including the mana- gers, Ray Miller and Harold Illers. A trip to Washington, D. C. was planned our freshman yearg but the Pilgrimage being impossible, due to war activities and the great number of our group entering the armed forces. Our class is presenting an electric scoreboard to be placed in the gymnasium. Our high school life came to a climax with the Senior Play, Senior dance, J unior-Senior prom, baccalaureate service and comzmencement when 78 Seniors received their diplomas. Page Sixteen
