Jflillafzq In the fall of 1941, four years ago, we, sixtyffour of us in all, started in the ninth grade. They called us freshmen because we were greenhorns in high school. We overf looked the slurs of the upper students and showed our talent by starring some of our students in our school operetta, Old Kentucky Garden. Under the capable leadership of our class officers, Joe Dunn, President, Willis Hatfield, VicefPresident, and Norma Duke, Secretary and Treasurer, and our Sponsor, Mrs. Warden, we patiently got over the rough steps of our first year. The fall of '42, most of our former classmates came back a little more sure of themf selves than they had been the first year. Johnny Ingram, our class president, and our Sponsor, Mr. Troy Wolfe, brought us through another year of trials and troubles. Nothing very exciting happened this year. It seems as if we began to study instead of having a good time. At last we were sophisticated juniors. Only a few of our members came back. Some journeyed to other schools, others joined Uncle Sam's forces to help free the world of dictatorship. The highlight of this year was the junior play, Look Who's Here. As it is the custom to entertain the seniors each year, we gave them an old fashioned square dance. Marie Jones, our class President, and Mrs. Pauline Tramel, our Sponsor, helped us over the rocky road of this year. We are now dignified seniors working hard for our diplomas. Probably the high' light of this year was the day we had our pictures made for the Hall of Fame, and the senior play, Busy as a Beaver was another important time. Johnny Ingram is again our President and Mrs. Tramel, our Sponsor. At last, we stand on the threshold of graduation with a definite challenge to life. Only seventeen of us are in sight of our beloved goal. May our work not end with graduf ation and may our motto always be: With the ropes of the past, let us ring the bells of the future.
