d On the third day of September, 1940, fifty-nine calm, poised, purposeful young men and women entered Lemasters High School as freshmen. Several upper' classmen were rude enough to sneer at what they called our gresnnessl'. Even the faculty expected us to be inferior tc the upper classmen. Strange as it may seem we get along superbly well when both the faculty and the upper elassmen stayed out of our way. After several weeks of this so-called high school life we decided that the adult way to make our requests known and to entor into school activities, was through elected representatives oillthe class. Having made up our minds we immediately proceeded vrlth thwcloetion of the following representatives: . president, Cloyd I-Iollensheadg vice-president, Robert Angelg secretary, Jean Gluck, treasurer, Hazel Beelerg historian, Cleone Hooverg athletic. managers, Mary Hornbaker and Robert Keoferg 'School Council representatives, Pearl Funk, Marvin Myers, and Cloyd Hollenshead. On October 8 we were tho guests of the Sophomore Class at a party in the gymnasium. Having been brought up in a somewhat more decercus society we cannot speed: tee highly of tho courtesy of our hosts on that occasion. They' seemed to be enjoying themselves, however, so we were courteous enough to put them at their ease by joining in the party as they had planned it. After the party we felt quite capable ef 'taking care of ourselves, and quite sure that the sophomores needed a guardian. The talent found in a group so young was astounding. Seven of our girls and five of our boys were accepted as members of the Mixed Chorus. Robert Kecfcr was u member of Coach Hoge's Varsity basketball team. Mary Hornbolcer saw some action with Coach Geo.rho.rt's sub string. Lois Hawbcdcer, Cloyd Hollonshoad, Cleone Hoover, and Charles Gift were members ef the Vox Sohelac staff. Rarely do freshmen break into the scheol's dramatic circle, but we found four ef our members in the cast of the play Lindo , They were Cloyd Hellcnshead, Cleone Hoover, George Reeder, and Mary Hornbelcor. Some of our number were worthy aspircnts in track and baseball. Along with our success and happiness in achievement we were forced by Fate to swallow the bitter medicine of sorrow. On April 5, 1941, death claimed one of our sunniest and best-liked classmates, Raymond Hamner. The Class attended the church services in a body. Several of Raymend's ehums served as pall bearers. The only other member of the class lost during the term was Robert Angel, whose parents moved from the township after the completion of the 'Super 1 ' Highway. Thus with fifty-seven of our crew still fighting we closed a very successful freshman year. Returning to school September 29, 1941, to resume our studios as the

Every time we had a date set for this function word conflict and we would have to change to think we would have to give up the party idea, but we did with the office on a date. We enjoyed ourselves immensely. freshmen speak for themselves.. . Again our class has shown superiority ia school activities. Our dramatic talent won for us six out of oloven characters in the cast of the high school play, The Sunshine Wins . Cleone Hoover and Charles Gift werethe ln- surmountable twins themselves. Cloyd Hcllenshead, Hirimn Crouse, Jean Gluck, and Joan Yeager also carried important roles. In basketball Robert Keefer and Betty Kohn made varsity material. Myron Myers, Marvin Myers, and Wayne Hissong saw action with the JayVees. Mary Hornbaker was among the subs on the girls' squad. Keefer, Myers and Myers, and Hissong also helped their Alma Mater win the soccer cup last Fall, either as first team players or as subs , Several of the boys have reported for track and baseball training this Spring, but teams have not yet been picked. h Six Sophomores are members of the school band - Jean Gluck, Warren Anderson, Joan Meyers, Wayne Hissong, Lois Hawbaker, and Glen Shelley.

The number of us in Mixed Chorus, Boys' and Girls' Choruses, Library Club, and the Hi.-Y Clubs is very large. . Very proud have we been of our achievement and reputation in the line of good conduct this year. Section I of our group has been cited as the . class with thc best conduct and the highest honor when left alone without the care of a teacher, And thdt's worth boasting about, since there are two upper classes above us. But with us it's an easy job. In tho first part of this history of our sojourn here wo 'carefully pointed out that from the first day wo were calm, poised, and dignified. The end of our second year draws closer. The chief concern of Pappy ls whether or not he is going to have to go to the end'of the third week in June or whether someone will get kind-hearted enough to allow that ten days to be out off. fSo do we all wonder. lt might be warm enough to swim before then.l Our enrollment now stands at forty-six. We hope upon hope to return next Fall and find all of our forty-six answering to the roll call of the Junior Class, Until then - 'Adios . Cleone Hoover, Class Historian
