SENIORS of 1943 AKING our place as freshmen in the fall of 1939, the graduating class of 1943 came in like a lamb - Quietly learning the many new rules and regulations, we soon considered ourselves as much a part of the school as the almighty seniors themselves - During our first year at Kane High we gained many valuable experiences by presenting a variety program in assembly - playing football and basketball on the second string - and by following parliamentary procedure in the newly organized junior Council. Time was on the move, however, and it wasn't long before we had moved on to the sophomore class - Branching out into more specialized courses we started to work harder than ever before - VVe soon found our way into many new and interesting activities including the publications, Senior Council, and the Thespian Club -In the late spring we held a class picnic and get together at Ludlow Park. Suddenly we found that our life as carefree sophomores was over -- Laden with more responsibilities than ever before we began life in the junior class - After the -laps attacked Pearl Harbor and the United States entered the war, we supported the Red Cross drive 100 per cent, raised our quota for the VVar Relief Fund, and started buying those essential war bonds and stamps every Tuesday in an attempt to do our part - The outstanding achievement of our class was the production of the comedy 'fEver Since Eve on April 17 - Blood, sweat, and tears was the price we paid to make the play the success it was - Meanwhile talk of a junior prom was increasing - Finally after many discussions pro and con, May 22 was set as the eventful date - Choosing a patriotic color scheme the gym was transformed overnight into another world - Using money from our class treasury, more than half of us went to the prom - while the rest of us went to the show, roller skating, or howl- ing - The last day of our junior year left us with the realization that next year would be our last. The glory of being seniors turned out to be hard work in disguise - After a few days of relaxation we settled down to earth and soon hit our stride - The newly organized Pre-Flight course turned out to be any- thing but a snap - Our Hrst big project of the year was the Magazine Drive held in October - After a slow start we turned out to be super salesmen and brought in a profit of 55250, ten per cent of which we gave to the U. S. O. - Shortly following this, rehearsal began on the mystery-comedy, The Bishop Misbehavesn - Pro- duced late in November, it was a social and financial success - Never once dreaming of a Washington trip, some of us did our bit by working half days, while others joined the Victory Corps - By january 90 per cent of us were buying stamps and bonds every week - In the middle of February we staged a dinner in honor of three members of our class leaving for the army - VVhen the Senior Red Cross drive started, we sent them 5120, and our hearty thanks for their good work - VVe found the year was drawing rapidly to a close - Having or- dered announcements we crossed our fingers and hoped we'd have an opportunity to use them - The dreaded final exams came and Went - Soon it was time for Vesper Service, Commencement, and the moving-up exer- cises - Suddenly we realized that this is our last day as students of Kane High School. ..f 161i
