Class of 1942 The election of the officers of the Sophomore Class lighted the fires of interest of the class members that burned constantly throughout the i939-40 school year. Toward the end of October the Sophomores spent a very enjoyable day in Pittsburgh visiting such places as KDKA, Heinz's, the Mu- seum, ond other such places of in- terest that the smoky city has to offer. The first Sophomore assembly program was given on November 22. lt was in the form of a play written, produced, costed, and acted by Eddie McNutt, The play, Scoop's Thanksgiving Scoop, was seemingly enjoyed by the entire stu- dent body. W February 6 marked a revival of the interest of the class. On this day the Curtis Company offered the Sophomore class a plan whereby they could obtain funds to build up their treasury for the Prom of the following year. Between this time and March 26, Sophomores can- vassed the town seeking out the literary parts of the population and interesting them in various maga- zines published by the Curtis Com- pany. Although the class did not break the record of the Senior class' efforts of last year, they did make T H E M I N E T A S Throuah the Camera's Eve the campaign one of note and of value to the class. For their second assembly pro- gram the second-year men put forth great pains to choose a talented cast and a play which was different from any other, but still of inter- est to the school. The Red Lamp was presented on April 24 using a novel idea of presentation. The play was selected, the cast chosen, and the drama directed by four members of the class itself. At last the long-expected day ar- rived and bashful boys, large and small alike, marched arm in arm with their female friends in the Grand' March at the Sophomore l-lop. Th evening that followed was filled with fun, frolic and dancing but seemed altogether too short. The evening of May l7 faded slow- ly. Silently the girls and their es- corts left the attractively decorated gymnasium as the immortal day ended. The Sophomores wish to express their appreciation of the work of the sponsors, officers, and faculty in making the 1939-40 school year one of real success. The Sophomores look forward to next year with its many new experiences and hope that it may be as great a success as this year.

Mix., , , ,,.., , i.,,.i ii, , ',.y,..J-.,, ,gl .., Class of 1941 4 After ten years of tedious climb- ing, we, the class of '4l, arrived at the next to the last step of our lad- der of knowledge. We now felt per-f fectly safe in uttering Out of our way, underclassman, and let an up- perclassman pass. We naturally felt from the first that our Junior year would be one of the most en- joyable. One fine- day we were rushed down to the auditorium, where after a brief skirmish, we elected the offi- cers who were to lead us through our many tasks. It seemed as though our tasks were well on their way, for a few weeks later we chose, without any hesitation, our class rings and class emblems. All through the year we planned and carried out various schemes to raise money for the annual Junior- Senior Prom and Banquet. All of our money-making ideas-the sale of Christmas cards, a few motion pictures, candy and bake sales, were very successful. The crowning climax of the year, of course, was the annual Junior- Senior Prom and Banquet. Many committees were organized and various programs were planned un- der the assistance and advice of our sponsors and the leadership of the following chairmen: Gym . ..,.. , Lawrence Frank Banquet l-lall ..... -Betty Lou Roberts Orchestra .....,. ---..,-.Andrew Zargo invitations .,.. a.., Aleda GGllir1O Entertainment---.-.Matilda Stevenson Fgvors ,,,A,,,,,,,,,,, , ,,,., -W Betty Groves Programs, ,,,,. ,,,,,,,.., Ailene Rose The theme for our decorations was cleverly executed in an Old- Fashioned Flower Garden. This big social event held on May l6 was ac- claimed by all as being an affair which would be remembered for a long time. Our plans and sparkling entertainment were enjoyed by all who attended. With the Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet over, our thoughts turn at once to new and bigger duties and responsibilities. Questions arise such as: Will we be able to carry on the many class activities as well as the class of l94O? Will our class play be a success? Will our Trotty Veck and Minetas under the direction of Marion Grosso and Aleda Gallino be as successful as those of other years? We truly hope that we can take over the high office of being seniors and carry out our various duties with as much success and honors as the class of l94O.
