We left junior high with smiles on our faces, tears in our hankies, and fear in our hearts,-fear of coming back. 1942 We came from the land down under, and so to seniors we sophs were scummy and low . . .

The poets were thinking of Arlene Severson when they said short and sweet . .. Plenty of sophs went to the 42 class night and received icy stares from senior gals . . . Tears were shed for the 42 Gradg but these tears were mostly glad. So the little soph lads and lasses became members of the terrible junior class. Being a sophomore wasn't so bad, people paid a lot of attention to you because you were either pretty cute, or they hadn't seen anything like you before . . . Many a young girl blushed at the attentions of a senior boy while the senior girls calmly sat by and had visions of slitting your throat. Remember when girls rushed to take typing from the coach? They'd just about cry when he'd correct them and swoon from a word of praise . . . When Ensign Pollock came home on leave two years later they were sweeping their bodies up right and left. The choir sang Song of Man and stirred the hearts of a spring audience . . . Audrey Schaub in her recitation, I Stood on the Bridge at Midnight, fell into a whirlpool of romance . . . Ah, we were so young and carefree thenl No wor- ries of senior class meetingsg just AAA dues on Tuesday.

Iohn Iimieson lost his sense of direction and shaved his head and let his beard grow . . . Tony Puccio was a loose man with all the femmes of Central after this man of muscle . . . Mary Alverson was tootin' a swingy clarinet, and Harold Rinke was doing some close listening . . . We were looking for class night dates way back Thursday. Sorority initiations were at their height with Io Flugum in one pump and one flat shoe and others with odd colors and straight hair . . . Gals were wishing they could enlist too, when heart beats left . . . The Big Top was a huge success with a fortune telling booth that told all: a fish bowl can foretell the darndest things . . . Hi-Y was giving the latest in hair cuts and boys were threatening to pounce on Young some dark night . . . Miss Morris tried to get priority on the next load of Hy swatters . . .

Mr. Marsh became assistant principal and showed he wasn't a cinch when the bunimers came in . . .

Blue cards look O.K. if you wear a match- ing color. 1943 Remember when we were the juniors, the forgotten class? The sophomores were new and interesting, the seniors were most honorable and esteemed, the juniors were just taking up the middle . . . leff Quin squired Grace Batkfr around l21l - J E .Hg Q Mkt . ,sw-H 7 .ffl 5 f Qx 4 ' I 4 Z.. ball 1 5 :Af 4 QA , L I I I I X I s .-----. .- J 'Z lg I HONOR OLL BETTY PFaFElFER ,ff l , N -- , 1' i W ,A K i .
