SENIUR CLASS HI TURY if af af On the beautiful morning of September 5, 1941, a strange incident was taking place in Middleburg High School. At the beautiful entrance to that magnificent building of education stood a group of green Freshmen. Our knees trembled, our brows were furrowed with anx- iety. Our lives had suddenly become rich and bountiful. Ahead of us lay many trials and tribulations. Many of our members were to become restless and drop off along the way. Nevertheless, our influence was soon felt in Middleburg High School. Our first great event was the chancing off of a turkey at Thanksgiving time. Thus ended our Freshman year. Then came our Sophomore year, the word Sophomore meaning wise fools which no other class could have deserved more readily than ours. In this, our Sopho- more year, we received three new members and a new sponsor. Our new sponsor was Mrs. Schindler, to whom we are all grateful for leading us through one of the most trying periods of our life. Thus ended or Sophomore year. Our Junior year held a little more excitement for us because of our Junior Class Play, which was entitled The Nutt Family. Our play being such a great success, it was booked for a second performance at Shamokin Dam. This was the completion of our Junior year. This, our Senior year, we are very far advanced. We have already held our Senior Class Play which was entitled The Calamity Kids, a title also very fitted to our class. We are looking forward to many more striking events of this, our Senior year. When the trials of this dark period are over, when our fondest ambitions have been realized, in part or whole, then with our friends, we shall gather in the sereness of a new peace, and, with happiness in our hearts, ponder over these examples of gone but not forgotten cheerful experiences that occurred in Middleburg High School. On the dawn of a new day, we hope that as you turn these pages, you will recall the happy experiences, pleasant associations, and proud achievements attained by the students of our Alma Mater. Thus we have successfully completed our high school career, and are ready to embark upon our voyage of life's endeavors. --'E-f 11 lk--
