H. S. a whole month behind schedule. For in that year an epidemic of infantile paralysis swept the country. Whether it was the epidemic, leap-year, or the crazy world, the class of ,44 has been different in every respect than that of its predecessors. After readiustments, the school settled down to its usual routine. More active freshmen got themselves elected to Student Council where they distinguished themselves. Mary Ann became a permanent fixture, being a representative of her class for all four years ascending to the presidency in her junior year. Our other fresh- men representatives of whom we were and are justly proud were Keith Martin, Patty Miles, and Sis Webster. Our Social Instincts were awakened by the annual class party. Typically, with flushed faces and racing pulses, we set out to attend the social function of that school year. Under the direction of Patty Miles, the party proceeded as usual. .However, some students fitted into other patterns. Lincoln High was made very proud by her musical a - pirants. Maurice Wood, Mary Elaine Redick, and Devon Thomas were members of the trombone quartet that placed first in the National Music Contest at Flint, Michigan. Also placing second in the piano solo divisio was Mary Berger. Luckily, we were one jump ahead of rationing. Those who achieved outstanding records during their freshman year were honored at the Honor Banquet which was sponsored by the Kiwanis Club. Those who were privileged to attend were Galeman Dexter, Phylis Young, David Goodrich, Mary Berger, Maryelaine Redick, Maurice Wood, and Devon Thomas. Thus our freshman year marked us as outstanding material. IN - ,-

'Nl I N! In 1941 we entered high school with a Hrm determination to be recognized as individuals by our su- periors. For all our determination we were doomed to accomplish little. The music department, however, came through. Maurice Wood placed Hrst in the trombone solo contest. Dick Eherenman placed first in bari- tone, and Mary Berger on piano. Due to restrictions on traveling, the na- tional contest was canceled. This also was the last year for contests of any kind. In our junior year we began to take our place in the various divis- ions in school life. Keith Martin and Jody Ambler were elected Yell Leaders. Elizabeth Leeper was elect- ed Maid-of-Honor to reign second to the queen at Homecoming. Stein- er made varsity. Perhaps, our craziest and' un- heard of action was electing a girl to be our class president. This broke all traditions. Mary Ann Underwood was the one so honored. Ray Poor was elected vice-president, Jayne El- kins was elected secretary, and Sis Webster, treasurer. Uncle Sam stepped into the lives of some of our classmates during our junior year and tempted several to join the armed forces. Our vice president was one of the lirst to answer the call. Some new blood came in during our years at P. H. S. and some have added glory to our class by winning our hearts with their accomplishments and co- operation. In the fall of 1943 we entered the halls of P. H. S. full fledged upper- classmen. Ah-What a sensation!!! Now we were the bosses.
