We entered a group of 40—18 boys and 22 girls. Not knowing where to go, we wandered from one place to another. Electing Joan Ashcraft as president, we began our high school career. We didn't accomplish much in our first year, but we did have several parties. In the fall of'45 we returned as Sophomores with a little more confidence in ourselves than in the preceding year. This year we enrolled with a different number, 41—18 boys and 23 girls. Electing Lawrence Ferringer as our president, we settled down for another year's work. With half of our high school days gone, we entered our Junior year with great enthusiasm. Lawrence Ferringer again was elected our chief executive and did a fine job leading our class through this strenuous year. This year there were 43— 18 boys and 25 girls. We ordered our class rings in this great year. Our class rings of course, we thought were much more attractive than any of the preceding years. We gave a Junior Frolic which made us some money. Then came the Class Play which added still more to the treasury. After waiting for a long time, we finally had the Junior-Senior Prom of the year. It was quite a success'. Looking ahead to our Senior year, we left school for the summer. Seniors at lastl The final year was finished by 38 students 18 boys and 20 girls. Again Lawrence Ferringer was elected president. The business men in town donated money for a large Christmas tree. This sum of money increased our treasury considerably. Our Class decided to publish a yearbook. We are especially proud that we were the class that revived the publication of a yearbook. Now we are looking forward to Senior Day and our Class trip.
