CREW OF The freshmen class of '40 started the school year with sixteen pupils enrolling, and Mr. Schwerin as our class sponsor. During the year Donald Hickenbottom started but in a few days he returned to his home on the farm. The school year was a whirl of activities in which many freshmen took part, such as bas- ketball, G.A.A. and glee club. Departing from the stage of greenness we entered the sophomore class with Mr. Ned Scott as our class sponsor. Enrolling were seventeen pupils as we lost Alice Mickey, who moved to Ottumwa and attended school there. We gained one student, Fred Grant. Later in the year Stanley Nason moved to Birmingham, and Ethel Metcalf left us to be married. Those playing basketball for both years were Gerald Pasch, Everett Kelly, Richard Stutsman, Bruce Reed, Richard Hostetler, ano Stanley Nason. G.A.A. members were Dorothy Billingsley, Opal Spray, Doreen Jacobs, Mary Monfort and Marcella Helfenstine. Those entering the Girls Glee Club were Do- reen Jacobs, Mary Monfort, and Marcella Hel- fenstine. Boys Glee Club members were Gerald Pasch, Donald Metz, Stanley Nason, Richard Hostet- ler, and Donald Billingsley. 1943 Top Row: Everett Kelly, Opal Spray, Donald Billingsley, Mary Ellen Monfort, Bruce Reed.

The following year we had the misfortune of losing four of our class members, Lois and Donald Trabert, Winetta Vorhies, and Elloise Barton. The same year Donald Maddix start- ed as a sophomore which made a class of thir- teen students. He has been a very active stu- dent and pleasant to work With. We have several other prominent students in our class, among them are Paul Berg, who has taken an interest in basketball along with his other studies. Mark Weston has also taken a great interest in basketball and won a medal for his skillful tennis playing during his sophomore year. He also was president of the class in 1938. Betty Helfenstine was elected as one of our cheer leaders for 1941. We also have two poets in our class. They are Betty Hopkirk and Pearl Stephenson. We have Floyd Johnson to thank for tak- ing the responsibility of presidency in 1939. Bernice Linn has been chosen editor for the Golden UL for the coming year. James McGregor is now our president. He is also a very active basketball player. We hope we will be able to keep all of our class members and be as successful next year as We have in the past three.

FLEDGLINGS Top Row: Wilbur Shirkey, Middle Row: Wynona Brown, Guy Messer, Louise Lingenfelter, Wayne Dillavou, Mary Nelson. Bottom Row: Harold Graber, Carolyn Hop- kirk, Carl Carlson, Faith Statler, Marion Stan- ley. The freshman class of 1940-41 was a rather small class. School began on September 2 with a freshman enrollment of twelve pupils. A few days later Archie Griffin dropped out. The enrollment was then eleven for the re- mainder of the first semester. When the sec- ond semester began the class still had eleven pupils, but later on came the moving time in March and the class lost two more members. Wilbur Shirkey, and Mary Nelson. Our class was dwindling slowly away and we were hop- ing for some new members, but none did ap- pear. The class engaged in a few extra curricular activities. One pupil, Wayne Dillavou, went out for basketball. Two of the Freshmen girls, Wynona Brown and Carolyn Hopkirk, were members of the G.A.A. and Wynona was a member of the Girls Glee Club. Five fresh- men boys, Wilbur Shirkey, Harold Graber, and Carl Carlson, Wayne Dillavou and Guy Messer were members of the Boys Glee Club. Three pupils of the class, Carl Carlson, Wayne Dilla- vou and Harold Graber, took part in the one- act plays presented by the Lockridge High School last March.
