SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The Class of ’42 began its voyage, chartered by Miss Frances Schofield, in September, 1938. The freshman crew of 65 chose Jim Cusick Captain, with Juanita Libecap First mate and Eddie Speare Second mate. The dull monotony was broken by an all-school dance held March 3, 1939. After docking for three months the class continued its voyage as sophomores in the fall of ’39 with Miss Frances Schofield again in charge. This year, Bill La-Prath was chosen to steer the ship. Able assistants were Robert Sullivan, Billee Rae Miller and Barbara Smith. The group gave a St. Patrick’s dance on March 15, 1940, in the gym. In September, 1940, the class took up the responsibility of junior seamen. Gladys Jones was placed in command with Robert Sullivan, Georgia Green and Jim Cusick serving under her. In November they presented the annual junior class play under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Baskett. The play was a comedy, entitled, “Professor, How Could You?” On September 28 the midshipmen decided to hold an all-junior party featuring dancing, cake and cider. This year the responsibility of giving the junior-senior prom and banquet fell on their shoulders. Concessons were sold at the basketball games, and dues were collected that we might give the class of ’41 a real send-off. The decorations were red, white and blue in keeping with the times. The program for the evening was considered a huge success. September 1941. The class of ’42 came back aboard ship ready to begin the last important leg of their journey on the fateful Sea of Education. This year, more minds were seriously turned to the tasks at hand as they had only one year left to complete their journey successfully. This year Edwin Speare was placed at the head of the ship. His faithful assistants were Jim Cusick, Bill McCracken and Lenore Coombs. It had been customary for the seniors to sponsor a mixer for the alumni, but it was impossible this year because of the gym’s being under construction. The seniors gave their play March 24. The play, a farce in three acts entitled “Too Many Relatives,” was very successful. On May 9 we took time out to attend the prom given by the juniors.

Senior Class History Continued One of the last acts of the class of ’42 was to produce and sell the yearbook. This year it was a photographic annual made by Mr. Harold VanNice. The senior class was represented at Bozeman scholarship tests by Gladys Jones, Emily Miller, Marjorie Shay, David Milligan, Harold Shearer, Robert Sullivan, James Cusick and Eddie Speare. Robert Sullivan, James Cusick, Eddie Speare, Bud Paronto, Bill McCracken, Edward Dull, Harvey Gunter and Bill La-Prath played on the Southern Championship football team during their senior year at L. H. S. Now the voyage is drawing near its close. Baccalaureate services were in the auditorium May 17. Annuals were given out at the class night program May 20. Commencement, May 22, marked the last meeting together of the seniors. So now the voyage is over, and we disembark from L. H. S. with regret.
