These seniors have spent the last three years in the halls of Marion High School. During this time some have become outstanding athletes, some leaders, and some scholars. The Hrst that was seen of the Class of '41 was in 1938 when they entered Marion High as open-mouthed sophomores. Al- though unaccustomed to the methods and pell-mell rush of things here, they elected ofiicers and provided a Frisky Fling , their class dance. Their officers were Glendon Barley, president, Willis Barrett, vice-pres- identg Elaine Downing, secretary, and Don- na Cassidy, treasurer. In the spring the class was represented in the Easter Parade by the three attendants, Nancy Sloop, Mary Ellen Walker, and Roberta Bedell. When school resumed in the fall of 1939, these former green sophs,' were now grown up and had become full-fledged juniors. Wfise in the ways of the school, they elected their leaders and began junior activities. The chosen officers were Wfilliam Husted, president, Richard Teegarden, Vice-presi- dent, Mary Ellen Walker, secretary, and Betty Fields, treasurer. These juniors gave a super party, the Snowball Swing, reigned over by the king and queen, Wil- liam Husted and Betty Claxon. Elaine Downing was crowned Queen of the Jun- ior Prom by Class President Husted. Betty Claxon, Elaine Downing and Mary Ellen Hennigin were the junior representatives in the Easter Parade. When the fall of 1940 rolled around, these former juniors found themselves to be the SENIQRS AT LAST! NOW the uking- pins of the institution,', they immediately elected the industrious class officers Willis Barrett, president, Jack Murrell, vice-pres- identg Alberta Ridge, secretary, and Phil Hillsamcr, treasurer. Richard Wolf and Barbara Swaney were appointed co-editors of the Cactus. Miss Gladys Lewis was class sponsor. The customary senior party was this year called the All American Swingf, The Marion High School M Club chose Betty Jean Fields to reign over the Swing as the All American Girl.
