SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On August 31, 1942 nine very green and bashful little freshmen toddled into high school. They were: Dora Sidebottom, Jessie Shelton, Alice Metz, Shirley Hurst, Jane Dennis. Burke Fool, Eugene Rawlings, Clarence Herald and Frank Neese. We hadn’t journeyed in this strange but beautiful school long before the upper classmen laid traps through which we blundered for four days and one night. Then really being very nice people at heart, gave us a wonderful party. Our teachers that year were: Mrs. Carrison, Miss Ebbert, and Miss Muelder. Miss Ebbert was our class sponsor. Burke ool was our class president; Alice Metz, our vice-presi- dent; and Shirley Hurst, our Secretary treasurer. We started on the second part of our journey with the absence of Dora Sidebottom and Jessie Shelton. This year Jane Dennis was our presi- dent; Alice Metz, vice-president; Shirley Hurst, secretary; and Burke Pool our treasurer. This lap of the journey wasn’t as hard as the first one, but we still had quite a few slips when we started studying a very foreign language called Latin. Our teachers were: Mr. Fursiful, Mrs. Baron and Mrs. Arts. Mrs. Artz was our class advisor. During this year we lost Frank Neese and Eugene Rawlings and gained Dorothy Farran. We started the last half of our school days as Juniors. This year was quite eventful indeed! We sold pop, popcorn, and also had a cake raffled off at one of our more important games. We did this so that we could get our lovely class rings. Since we were to be the hosts to the Senior Class of that year, we had to have more money to take them to a banquet. We gave the very successful play, “Here Comes Charlie.’’ We took in the sum of thirty-five dollars, the most a class play has taken in here for quite some time. Our teachers were Mr. Dunbar, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Bradbury was our class sponsor. The officers this year were: Alice Metz, president; Shirley Hurst, vice-president; and Jane Dennis, secretary-treasurer. Ah! the grand finale before going into an unknown country where many dragons and evils await to pounce upon us if we do not glean all the weapons this land offers us. This year we had a school paper, “High School High Lights.” The ' staff of the school paper were: Jane Dennis, Editor-In-Chief; Shirley Hurst, Assistant Editor, and Dorothy Farran, Business Manager. We also had an annual on which we worked very hard. Burke Pool was president; Clarence Herald, vice-president, and Jane Dennis, secretary-treasurer. Our teachers, Mr. Dunbar, Mrs. Smith, Mr. Heflin part time and Mrs. Johnson last half. Mr. Dunbar was our class sponsor. We are now at the end of the happiest days of our lives and very sorrowfully, yet, happily we say good-bye. Jane Dennis
