History of the Senior Class On September seventh, nineteen hundred and thirty-nine, eighty-six pupils entered Manchester High School as freshmen. After the first month of school we had a class meeting for the purpose of electing officers to lead us through our first year of high school. June Johnson was elected president of the class. Joyce Harris was elected vice-president and Bill Traylor, secretary and treasurer. With the aid of our sponsors, Miss Berry- man and Miss Hodges, we had a very successful year. The following spring we had a May Day Festival in which we were represented by Mary Clarke, Annie Werne, Jimmie Craze, and Jim Turner. We had a picnic in the same month at Forest Hill Park, where we had a lot of fun together. At the end of the year, there was a feeling of loyal class unity and a pride that we were to enter Manchester the next year as sophomores. We were called together by our sponsors, Miss Lumpkin and Miss. Fore, to elect ofricers for the coming year. Hilda Protzman was elected president and with the aid of the other officers, vice-president, June Johnson, secretary-treasurer, Ruby Pinkleton, and reporter, Joyce Harris, we started another school year. Seeking entertainment, we organized a bowling team and had regular bowling games at bowling centers in Richmond. The class again had an outing at Forest Hill, which was enjoyed by everyone. Our class was represented in the May Court that year by Doris Wright, Gloria Butler, Raymond Ferguson, and Harry Lane. That closed our school activities as sophomores. The following year we returned to school as juniors. The class elected Ray- mond Ferguson as president, Bill Pfeffer, vice-president, Ruby Pinkleton, treasurer, and Roy Grubb, secretary. Miss Lumpkin and Miss Crawford were our sponsors for that year. During that school year one of our sponsors, Miss Lumpkin, was married, and Mrs. Crump came and took her place as sponsor and teacher. As juniors, we sponsored a play, Pickles Becomes a Lady, which proved a great success. With the arrival of spring, May Day festivities began. Those representing the junior class were Mary Clarke, Joyce Poarch, Jimmie Craze, and Harry Lane. Gloria Butler served as maid-of-honor. In the big event of the season, the juniors were hosts and hostesses to the seniors, at the annual Junior-Senior Banquet, held in the new gym on May 15, 1942. A very happy year was ended in June with great hopes of returning to Man- chester as seniors in the fall. In September, 1942, the fourth and last year of our high school life began with our beloved sponsors, Miss Ball and Miss Terry. In our first meeting of the year we elected oliicers, who were, president, Raymond Ferguson, vice-president, Hilda Protzmang secretary, Ann Jolly, and treasurer, Ruby Pinkleton. We had a Christmas Party in the home economics cottage which was very entertaining, and everyone enjoyed it. Because of the war and gas rationing many of the senior activities were cur- tailed, but we, as patriotic citizens, understood the circumstances. We knew that we would give up our pleasures now so that we might enjoy them later. Many of the former students of our class have entered the services. Those who have gone are Ranny Collier, Robert Hudson, William Donner, Warren Davis, Ralph Reams, Jim Turner, and Jimmie Craze. Many other boys are qualified for the armed forces and are expecting to be called. We seniors know what we can do for our country, and that is to keep on buy- ing War Bonds and Stamps, which we have engaged in so faithfully this year. As graduation came nearer, we realized that as a class we would not have much longer to be together. Some were planning their college careers and others were making plans to go out into the working world. We, as a senior class, greatly enjoyed our high school days together, and we wish success and happiness to those who follow.
