CLASS PROPI-IECY June 6, 1940 Dear Diary: Tofnight I have known for the first time the sweet sorrow of parting from some' thing you have come to cherish highly, something that seems virtually a part of you. Tofnight two hundred and sixtyffive of us held graduation exercises as the class of '40 of Louisville Male High School. As I looked about me, I saw that I was not the only one stirred by the occasion. There were eyes filled with tears of pride and joy, last minute, nervous, reading over of speeches, a hustle and bustle back stage that marks the coming of a big event, an electricity in the air, a raising of a curtain and hushed whispers of That's him, that's our boy! Into each outstretched hand was placed a last remnant of a chapter in our lives, closed to us forever, yet to be relived countless times whenever old grads get together. June 6, 1960. Dear Diary: Shades of High School days! Paul Koshewa dropped in on me today. I've only seen him a few times since we graduated from High School twenty years ago. He just got back from our new colony on Mars. His new 1960 rocket plane coupe is a honey. Ask the man who owns one. He brought news about our struggle to hold the colony. General Barnes is in charge of defense plans. On his staff are Colonels james, Shea, Williams, Peak, and Sherman. Major Petty commands the rocket fleet while Majors Kearns and B. R. Jones direct submarine warfare. Captains Hinton, Keirce, Haubenrich, and Vincent have been decorated for bravery in action while guarding the king's harem. Ross is in the dog house because the cosmic rays faded his wife's curtains. Oh dear, same old Jack and Jane. Dr. Craig Alford is taking special care of Pappy Cers who is suffering from mental it can't be done itellya and, who, since the first trip to Mars, keeps mumbling something like: It's a simple law of physics, gravity won't permit it. Paul said Eddie Hale arrived in the colony not long ago. He said he heard the miles were shorter up there. We watched the television set most of the evening. Heard several talks, Samuel Castleman on My Famous Five Minute Speech, Jack Kirwan on 'LWe Coaching Kirwans, and Charlie Kuhn on All Around Athletics. Later we saw and heard Ira Huff, his drums and his orchestra, featuring vocalist Joe Reigler, who sang You Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby. They were sponsored by Dean Bros. Tires, Inc., whose slogan is, The rocket will never replace the car, we hope. Then followed a debate on advanced chemistry. Cn one side were Messrs. Klosterman, Sachs, Beck, and Maynard, on the other Messrs. Seng, Neff, McMillan, and Clarke. You'd never guess who won. Bob Tyler, Vert Smith, jack McComas, and Tommy Stokes came in later in an extremely jovial mood. Said they had been down helping Jack Veeneman take inventory at the distillery. A few little odds and ends needed polishing off. Well that's all for tonight. Guess I'll go to see Salzman's Cardinals play Charlie Embry's Yanks tomorrow. Don't ask me how it's going to come out. What do you think I am-a prophet? -Du journal d'Arthur R. Sager.

CLASS HISTORY H It was in September, 1937, that this graduating class first came shakyflegged and starryfeyed through the portals of Old Male High. We had heard of the spirit of Male and were quickly enveloped by it. Most of us entered into different fields of activities-athletics, clubs, and other organizations which have helped in many ways to develop us. Out football coaches, under the able Wallace Butts, greeted us by putting a smoothly running footballfmachine on the gridiron to meet and defeat twelve conf secutive teams, including Manual. That Thanksgiving Day's score was 2520. By the close of our Sophomore year we were all wrapped up in activities and were feeling a great deal more important than at the beginning of this three' year period of our life. Our next year was heralded by the acquiring of the stately title of Juniors. As befits the dignity of that title, we worked willfully to fill our places in this great institution. Many of us had entered into extrafcurricular activities. We were well represented in the clubs, on the athletic teams and in all organizations. Many of us in the R.O.T.C. were wearing stripes on our arms, with the outlook of someday wearing discs or diamonds on our shoulders. Colonel jordan left us to go into retirement and was replaced by Major W. E. Bashore, who was received with great approval by the school body. Under Coach Homer Jackson, a fine gentleman from northern Kentucky, we had a fair football season, winning six and losing four. We fell victim to the Nationalf championship Manual eleven by the score of 4097. In the early part of 1939 the best addition to Male was being started-the new gymnasium. This was taking form after many years of planning and hoping by the alumni and athletic department. In addition to the new gym, six new classrooms were being added, along with a first class R.U.T.C. department. Came june and we as Juniors realized that the following September meant all the world to us, for we would be Seniors. Well, it came. The final episode of Male High was being unfolded before our very eyes. Under a very capable coach, Mr. Stovall, we lost to Manual this last year by the score of 2043. Other than that, we had a splendid season, losing to only one other team. This fall the gym was completed and our basketball team under Frank White enjoyed a very successful season, winning over Manual four successive times. The organizations of which we were members, honored us with official posts. Editors, presidents, officers, and captains fill our ranks. We really appreciate these honors and are very grateful. This last semester is one of sorrow and yet of gladness-of sorrow because we are leaving, of gladness because of our accomplishments in this historic institution. We are now prepared to go on, thanks to Male and its able faculty, therefore we, the graduating class of 1940, wish to express our sincere gratitude for all that Male has done for us. To all undergraduates and future students of Male High we wish a hearty wel- come and good luck. Now we say goodbye to Male, and become a part of its history. By JACK Ross
