K- la A £7 ri£u ' ULat 1 The Good Ship Middlebranch Centertwig Creek Spring, 1944. Dear Father Time: — Each year a new group of recruits takes their place in your service. This year, we, the sail- ors on the Good Ship Middlebranch are part of that number and we in our turn are sub- mitting our application for your consideration. Our qualifications are many and diversified. Possibly the most important of our training has been obtained in the last four years which are commonly called high school or boot training. In our freshman year we began our first efforts in the realm of real study. We began our work in science, higher mathemat- ics, history, the languages, and the commer- cial courses. These studies were continued by us in the later years, sometimes successfully and at other times not so well. Hour after hour of classes, study halls, and home work rolled by. Many, many tests were given us. Much was learned and more than a little for- gotten. True, we can not claim exemption from friv- olity. Certainly we shot our share of paper wads and had a goodly share of time served in detention. We had our share of social life as well. In our Freshman year we were initiated by the Sophomores. The next year we returned another party to the succeeding class. In our Junior year we reached the peak of our hopes and ambitions as high school students — our first Junior-Senior Prom. This and the Prom given to us our Senior year will never be for- gotten. Along with such memories rank high school plays, operettas and our class play, Don ' t Take My Penny. Our football, basketball, and scholarship rec- ords have been far above average. In the clubs and activities in general, our class has always been well represented. As a matter of fact there is little to be done aboard ship that we did not have a hand in. Through it all a change has taken place. Our learning came not only from books, but from life as well. We developed slowly and to those who guided us along this course, there were times when success seemed far above our heads. Now, after twelve years of toil and preparation, we feel that we are ready to assume our part in the services of society. We owe thanks to many persons, principally our teachers, our superintendent, Mr. Kohr, and our principal, Mr. Schamp. Especially, we as a class, wish to pay tribute to Miss Ream, our class advisor. Through the guid- ance and patience of these teachers we have been able to join a large measure of the ad- vancement which we have achieved. We have learned many things. We have ex- perienced laughter, and tears, work and play, war and peace. We have sent boys from our class into the service of our country. This has brought the war still closer to us and for them we ask a very special consideration for they have given so much. We have had a preview of what is to come. We have learned the fundamentals. We have studied the past, seen the present, and dreamed of the future. Our chance and the chance of America to re- main free lies in this future. What will come, we cannot say but we assure you the class of 44 will be there working for a better and finer world. Yours most sincerely, The Class of 44.
