OFFICERS OF CLASS OF ’44 JIM TORRENCE, Pres. DICK FARRIS, Vice-Pies. MARY RUCKMAN, Sec'y. Acting Vice-President, John bean; Song Queen, Bemeva Chadwick; Yell Leaders, Alan Mills, Eddie Stonebreaker; Live-wires, Mary Wagner, Ruby Pyle, Tom Garrison. CLASS HISTORY In the fall of '40, 177 confused but talented students falteringly opened the front door of L. H. S. and stepped in. The group started their march with a Hallowe'en Talent Assembly, a Mothers' Tea and their Freshman dance. They filled the thanksgiving baskets and took part in the Christmas Formal, the Extravaganza, the exchange assembly, and the Division of National Educators Conference at San Jose, California. The leaders were: President, Alan Mills; Vice-President, Keith Young; Secretary, Kathryn Finlay; Song Queen, Nina Proffitt; Yell Leader, Matt Svetich; Live Wires, Beverly Shorb and Lynn Pieper. They marched through their Sophomore year with flying colors. Their candidate, Donna Knight, became football queen; their Hallowe'en entertainment was a Sophomore dance and mixer; their talent assembly won the pep contest for the best talent in the school. The officers were: President, Bill Dun- ham; Vice-President, Don McMasters; Secretary, Natalie Green; Song Queen, Ruby McClure; Yell Leader, Matt Svetich; Live Wires, Alan Mills and Lois Hill. Their crusade took a patriotic turn in 42 and '43 when some of our juniors donned the uniform of the Army, Navy, and Marines. The class joined in the fight by purchasing stamps and bonds and by joining the Victory Corps. They were given the permanent possession of the pep cup after winning the pep contest for three consecutive years. The Junior Play, Plane Crazy, exhibited their acting talent. Leaders were: President, Lynn Pieper; Vice-President, Bob Goss; Secretary, Margaret McLean; Song Queen, Ruby McClure; Yell Leader, Matt Svetich; Live Wires, Mary Wagner and Don McMasters. During the senior years several more boys transferred from the march of students into the march of service men. Six of the senior girls were married during the course of the year. Their senior play, Brother Goose, proved to be a successful production. On St. Patrick's Day they dressed up the gym and held their senior dance. One hundred students marched their last steps together May 17 and were graduated from L. H. S. Those leading the class were: President, Jim Torrence; Vice-President. Dick Fer- ris, John Bean; Secretary, Mary Ruckman; Song Queen, Bemeva Chadwick; Yell Leader. Alan Mills, Eddie Stonebreaker; Live Wires, Tom Garrison, Mary Ellen Wagner, Ruby Pyle. Although the class of '44 was a distracting nuisance to the teachers during their sophomore year, in their senior year they earned the faculty's comment that they were one of the most cooperative classes graduated from L. H. S.
