Y 4764 4 an Glen N September, 1940, our Freshman Class . entered junior I-ligh School without the usual 5 I! qualms since there were no Sophomores, ff f juniors or Seniors to worry us! We were U 4 divided into three groups and placed under the leadership of three teachers: Miss Lucille ' R Gillespie, Miss Laura Kreger, and Miss Nancy A ' Gravely. However, we organized our classes ' jointly, with Ann Miller serving as our presi- X dent for the year. , During this, our Hrst year in high school, we started several clubs, of which the Glee Club was outstanding. One of the most interesting of these clubs was the Handicraft Class under Miss Frances Wells' supervision. In this class the boys and girls learned to weave and to make many useful articles such as belts, moccasins and change purses. Un 74718 TYPICAL? MR.

OR the first time in the history of the school a junior varsity football team was organized. Mr. Marion S. Brooks, our coach, attempted to teach us the fundamentals of the game. Miss Nancy Gravely coached our girls' basket ball team and Mr. J. R. Kirk coached the boys' team. We didn't have a regular schedule in any of these sports, but we en- joyed each of them and we hope that what we have learned will make it possible for us to make the varsity team in future years. When the Seniors sponsored a beauty pageant, one of our classmates, Gloria Vass, won the title of Miss Junior High. In the Senior High School there was an- other division of our class, really our superiors, because their high school days began ahalf year 'before ours did. When they became Freshmen in January, 1940, Mr. W. H. Crock- ford was their home-room teacher. He stayed with them only one semester, Mr. Marion Brooks took his place. In their first class election, John Whittle was chosen president. Since joining the ranks of high school students, members of this class have. belonged to the various clubs and have taken part in athletics. Wayne Hunclley and Billy Chappell were awarded letters for their excellent foot- ball playing last season. Our Freshman days are over now and we are eager to see what lies ahead of us when we shall answer to that wonderful name- Sophomore.
