We struck up the band and marched into H. S. taking our cues from Burnell Hanks, our conductor who waved the baton. Yes, in the fall of 1943 we invaded the lofty halls of Jeannette lligh School as lowly frosh . . . some came with high ambition, some terror filled at the warm re- ception awaiting them from the upperclassmen, and others . . . just camel We studied like eager beavers that year as we waded through Algebra and Latin l. Helping Burnell lead the class were Phyllis Koch, vice president, lfsther Bleiberg, secretary, and Betty Bishop, treasurer. The class colors, blue and white, were selected and all was in readiness for the most gala event of the sea- son-the freshman party. The year sped by all too soon and the fall of 4-l found us once again trudging back to school at the sound of ye ole school bell . . . a little bit older and a whole lot wiserl What fun it was to look down our noses at the new bewildered Greenies . This year we hopped into the spirit of high school life distributing our time among the various clubs, sports, newspaper work-and de- tention halll Initiation day rolled around and we howled with glee when we saw our glamour gals and guys regular Boris Karlofifsu all decked out in their initiation finery. Then came our class party which proved to be even more fun than the last. We had graduated from the IWO-Step and even actually cutting some rugs. We really made mellow music together that year with Leonard Battaglini, as conductor-assistant director, Lil- lian Dewalt keeping the official records, and financial affairs taken care of by Betty Durio. About three months too soon September roll- ed around and the back to school march was on . . . some to study in earnest, and others to catch up on lost sleep. What a wonderful feeling it was to be upperclassmenl Football games and their heroes, bobby socks and blue jeans, cokes and parties . . . enough to make your head hirl. And then off we were whirling to the junior Prom. Our officers Iake,' Rugh, president, Suction Pierce, vice-president, Betsy Lorentz, secretary, and Doris Levin, treasurer together lrVlI.I.lAM CIIIAPPARELIJ .

Soft music, dim lights, hmmm wasn't it a night to be remembered? we were as proud as punch when we saw our presi- dent Jack strutting at the lead of the Grand March. Final exams rolled around, they really had us worried, but their gruesome significance was dimmed by a glorious picnic day--in spite of the rain. Once more we thronged through the portals of learning to participate in our last year of scien- tific study. What a feeling of evolution to see the juniors remain seated ffl while we hled out of the auditorium after assembly programs! This year the members of our ranks were the leaders in school clubs and civic affairs, held key posi- tions on the Oscar and Jayhawk staffs. We were well represented in the band, orchestra, and chorus. Our fellas were the gridiron heroes, and shone as basketball and track stars.-all summed up we were sophisticated seniors and didn't know if we were glad or sad. But there was no time for mournful reflections, for the year sped by all too quickly. We marched to the stadium behind the band and saw our fellows become county champsl -we danced to soft music at our last class party in a gym haunted by memories of the other class parties of three begone years. Our basketball team had a brilliant season and this made it even better. We had our senior pictures taken-ex- changed skweegies and name cards . . . took part in assembly programs . . . and went to our last Prom. Everyone did some last minute cram- ming for tests and at last the day of graduation was here. The goal toward which we had been striving for the past four years was atlast reached. We have had excellent training in our forma- tive year due to the combined efforts of our principal, teachers, advisors, and parents. The rest is up to us! Our possibilities are unlimited and we can climb the ladder of success as far as our abilities will take us. As we leave our Alma Mater, to go forth into the world, we gratefully take with us the knowledge that we have accumulated in our four years of study at Jeannette High School. FOURTEEN
