The Class of 1942 was represented in football by Armstrong, Lindsey, Russell, Kennedy, Sleeter, Speckman, Buchanan, May; and in basketball by Armstrong, May, Buchanan, Sleeter, Lindsey, and Ablett. The annual Junior Play, “Seventeen' , presented November 8, was an encouraging success. At all football and basketball games Delores Lynn, Maryetta McDuffee, Virginia Curtis, Bobby Willis, William Collie, and Vernell Baccus operated a refreshment stand, the proceeds of which went to the class treasury. May 16, the class gave the Junior-Senior reception, an outstanding social event of this year, on which we will all look back as one of our happiest affairs. The Class takes this opportunity to express its gratitude to its sponsors, Miss Bess Atwell and Miss Ora Rush, for their advice and guidance throughout this pleasant year.
