We’ue Come A Long Way Together Dear Bob, You may well wonder why I am writing again so soon, as I know my letters, to say the least, have been infrequent; but I ' m sure that you, remembering your own school days, will understand. As you have probably guessed, I ' m thinking of my high school days, which are rapidly ending. You know, being a senior is far different from what I expected as a freshman. Then, I looked forward to four long years of school, but now as I look back, it is only four of the most interesting and short years I ' ve known, and perhaps, will know. And as I mentally review each year I think I can see the reason. For instance, our freshman class was, to most people, just another green bunch; but to the individuals of that class, it was a group with which they were going to live and study and in which they were going to make and enjoy lasting friendships. That year we elected as our officers: Hugh Rutledge, president; Bob Hammons, vice- president; and Phyllis Baker, secretary-treasurer, and our class sponsors were Mr. Moore and Miss McCoy. And then came our sophomore year. By now we were better acquainted and members of the class became eligible for various clubs and activities into which they eagerly plunged. Our class was sponsored that year by Mr. McGlasson and Mrs. Mc- Krill and our officers were Bob Hammons, president; Bill Shufflebarger; vice-president; and Phyllis Baker, secretary-treasurer. However neither of these years was as interesting as last year, our Junior year. Our class officers were Charles Goss, president; Willard Waycott, vice-president; Roberta Sisson, secretary; and Phyllis Baker, treasurer. The first semester was filled w : th plans for the production of our class play, entitled Almost Eighteen, which was a great success. Then of course, in the second semester came the highlight of the year the Junior-Senior prom. This was held in Recreation Hall, which was attrac¬ tively decorated to look like a garden. Those who wished could also attend a movie after the dance, for the Indiana Theater was rented for the occasion. The sponsors, who helped us so much, were Mrs. Prewitt and Mr. Kurtz. And now we ' re Seniors and in this all-important year our officers are Hugh Rut ledge, president; Charles Goss, vice-president; Georgianna Hinson, secretary; and Hester Elliot, treasurer, and our sponsors are Miss Rose and Mr. McGlasson, who was called by the army during the winter. This year is one I will remember, as I ' m sure you do, for it has embraced so many activities and events, including the class play, the yearbook, the prom, Class Day, Baccalaureate and, of course, Commence¬ ment. Our course has not been smooth, and since that day in December, 1941, our own everyday experiences have somehow assumed a sense of false importance, but we have managed to emerge despite all handicaps and doubts as to the future. Many of the boys will follow you already in service, and we girls will impatiently await the expected day of peace and the return to normality. Well, Bob, I hope your memories of your school days have not been so far pushed aside that this has seemed boring and uninteresting, but somehow I don ' t imagine so. And so, till the next time, I wish you the best and send my Love, Sis. 12
