ANON 1a de NS) SMOG IP ley AVA) SOURED Noh Gonna In the fall of 1944 about 85 of us re- turned for our final year in high school. We soon realized that being a Senior had a few more responsibilities than pushing other people around. We chose as our of- ficers: Walter Ramseur, President; Troy Lawrence, Vice-President; Helen Garver Deal, Secretary; Perry Sloope, Treasurer. To do the many things before us this year we had to advise and help us, Mrs. Ralph Linn and Miss Mary Gladys Fisher. In a magazine subscription drive we defeated China Grove and the money we earned helped a great deal in our ex- penses. It was a glorious day when we received our rings; one could not help but see our rings because we clearly displayed them in the following days. We received our rings one day during the fifth period, our English class, and we do like to get to skip classes. The Junior Class honored us at a ban- quet in the spring of 1945, which tre- minded us that we would soon be leaving Landis High. During the year we had a hay-ride— and a weiner roast afterwards—at Daugh- erty Springs. We also had a skating party. Commencement was soon upon us and we tealized that we would have to go forth into the world and try our luck. We knew that we would have to struggle more than ever before. We also knew that the war would help to hinder us, but, never- theless, we had to help carry the load our elders were carrying now. We bid good old Landis High School farewell and go out into the world to do the best we can. TROY LAWRENCE, FRANCES POOLE, Historians. Twenty-three

Pinbe: Twenty-two aT OW S| AG Keres “OUR “FORWARD MARCH,” was the command given when 114 members of the Freshman Class started the four best years of their school careers. We began in the year of 1941 under the leadership of Mrs. L. A. Leonard, Miss Rebecca McBride, Miss Gwendolyn Vann and Miss Patrica Craig. We chose as our commanding officers: Dearl Correll, President; Clay Kimball, Vice-President; Grace Troutman, Secre- tary; Fred Freeze, Treasurer. We had two parties during the year. One was a “Tacky Party” and the other one was given at Valentine; each person was dressed as some famous person. By the end of the year some of the “‘green color” had worn off and we began to feel more at home beside our upperclassmen. After having a long leave we all assembled in the fall of 1942 under new leaders and commanders. We felt ourselves fully ca- pable of doing anything the Seniors could, but we had to be satisfied by being Sopho- mores. Our advisers were Mr. and Mrs. B. B. Miller and Miss Lida Turbyfill. Our commanders were Billy Barker, President; Betty Roberts, Vice-President; David Ty- son, Secretary; and Perry Sloope, Treas- urer. They gave the commands and we carried them out to the best of our ability. As the year progressed we did the best we could to make our class known. Rena Linn, Betty Roberts, Helen Beaver, Helen Garver Deal, Mary E. Bostian, Imogene McCool, and Jackie Russell were helping us out in the field of sports. Our boys, though few, were progressing also. PAST” We enjoyed our summer furlough but were glad to be among old friends again, when we reported for duty in August, 1943. Under the command of Grace Trout- man, President; Helen Beaver, Vice-Presi- dent; Mary Edith Weddington, Secretary, and Kenneth Linn, Treasurer, we forged ahead. We had as our advisers Mrs. Inez Sturkey and Mrs. Martha Doran. As Jun- iors we now felt as if we had made a great ascent on the ladder of success and we were reaching for the top rung. This might well have been seen in our ex- tremely aristocratic manner and our de- light in pushing the green rookies around. On March 3, 1944, several members of our class gave us a —?— performance in our Junior play. The name of the play was ‘Robinson Crusoe.” It was a comedy in three acts directed by Mrs. Sturkey. Considering the short practice periods and everything we thought we had had a great dramatical success. Our first skating party resulted in a few blisters and bruises here and—oh, there too. A lot more of us returned for more bruises at a second party. Everyone enjoyed themselves at the Junior-Senior Banquet, where there was a lively autographing of each others’ menus. We also had lots of fun at the Prom given us in the gym. Dancing and refreshments were enjoyed by all. Sad ‘‘Au Revoirs’’ were bade our Sen- ior friends at graduation as they went forward to seek their fortunes.
