lt might have been a great day on Oct. 12, 1492 when Christopher Columbus discovered America, but can that compare with the year 1942 when the members of the present Senior Class were Freshmen? No, it most certainly cannot. Even though the attitudes of the up- perclassmen were enough to give us 32 green Freshies an inferiority complex for life, we paid no attention to their iibes. The class officers for this eventful year were lean Fry, Pres., Patricia Sink, Vice-Pres., Colleen Van Meter, Sec.-Treas. Our sponsor was Mr. Kibbey. The high-light of our social activities of the year was a Wiener roast held at the home of lim Youngs. The Weather was slightly on the damp side but that didn't stop the Freshies from thoroughly enjoying them- selves. During our Sophomore year We were sorry to lose lohn Bracy, Hollis Breyman, Margie Mullins, Robert Finerd, Richard Heitmeyer, Colleen Van Meter, and lean Fry. Their places were filled by the following new mem- bers: Donald Gibbs, Grace Sterrett, and Iohn Wittenmyer. Our total enrollment was 35. A triumph of our Sophomore year Was the Win- ning of a debate over our Worthy opponents, the class of '44. We also prepared an assem- bly program on Which we presented a truth and consequences contest. Officers chosen endow SENIOR OFFICERS LEFT TO RTGHT: Mrs. Wilson, sponsor, Ruby Rettig, Acting Pres., Patricia Sink, Sec., Sara Hartman, Treas. NOT lN PTCTURE: Richard Payne, Pres., Donald Gibbs, Vice-Pres. CKOL65 Mdfory for the year were Richard Heitmeyer, Pres., Sara Hartman, Vice-Pres., Patricia Sink, Sec.- Treas. lt was fun to be able to tell the Fresh- men what to do just as we had been told what to do the preceding year. By the time We had been promoted to lun- iors We thought We were well along in the World. Several members had dropped out during the summer vacation, leaving an en- rollment of only 21. William Schafer, Iohn Wittenmyer, lim Youngs, Ronald Whiting, Lynn Parkins, Donald Sherick, Richard Alt- man, Virginia Wagner, Helen Zuercher, and Grace Sterrett were those who left. Our spon- sor for this history making year was Miss Harpst and Richard Payne was head execu- tive With Patricia Sink as his assistant. Sara Hartman was secretary with Gordon Dukes as Treas. Our Booster Board Representatives were Ruby Rettig and Donald Gibbs. On March 24, we were proud to present our class play entitled Hook, Line, and Sinkern with Richard Payne portraying the part of Mr. Hook, Richard Zeisloft as Mr. Line and Bell Bell as Mr. Sinker. We Were under the able direction of Mrs. Lucille Whisler. The Senior Class of '44 was honored by a banquet given by our class on April 27 at the Y. M. C. A. But even to the best of things an end must come. So it was with our high school days. fConfinued on Page 62.5
