CLASS lllSTllliY Well, here we areaone of the very proudest classes Milford Hi has ever received within its doors. Life during our freshman year was just one bewildering occurrence after another, but with the passing of time and firm determination, we faced and triumphed over every obstacle. That year brings back fond memories to all of us. The first of these was our never-tOube-forgotten initiation day. As though our ridiculous clothes were not sufficient, we were ordered by our dominating upper- elassmen to drag big water buckets around to our classes. The second highlight of this year was an original assembly TlThe Showboatf' We were very thrilled to be the center of attention for at least one day of the year. In this, our class of 1939, we had seventy-four enrolled. At our class meeting, we elected the following officers: president, Charles Koogler; vice-president, Anna Louise Sehreiber; secretary and treasurer, Eva Jane Cramer. We chose as our motto, We have crossed the bay; the ocean lies before usl,; as our class flower, the lily of the valley; and as our class colors, green and white. In 1940 we came back, just a bit more sophisticated than we were the preceding year, possessed with a greater incentive to work to achieve the high goal we were striving to reach. This year we elected Raymond Carter, president; Jane SchneiderJ viee-president; Lora Fuller, secretary; and Willard Baudendistel, treasurer. llThe Showboatll appeared again as the theme of our hilarious assembly. When we returned in 194-1 as upperclassmen, our wisdom had increased and we looked with condescension upon the green little freshmen of that year. We were overwhelmed at their lack of poise, but soon found consolation in the recollection of our first awkward year. Our class officers were: president, Raymond Carter; vice-president, Anna Louise Schreiber; secretary, John Lotz; and treasurer, Lora Fuller. We gave several dances, and the usual junior class play, which was a tremendous success. The cast of the play, lTlabriel Blow Your Horn, included the following: John Lotz, Alice Douglas,- Juanita Shively, Eileen Bolton, Anna Louise Schreiber, Charles Koogler, Raymond Carter, Rosalyn Williams, George Martin, Billy Meyers, Janet Laudeman, and Jack Balzhiser. The crowning event of the year was the Junior-Senior Banquet with Eileen Bolton as toast- mistress. The theme was nautical, and anchors, ships and life preservers peeked above layers of waves along the walls. For many of us this was our first formal and we were very enthralled as we waltzed across the floor feeling very important, indeed. The climb was diHieult, but thirty-seven of us reached the top. The class oHicers are: pres- ident, Charles Koogler; vice-president, John Lotz; secretary, Janet Laudeman ; and treasurer, Lora Fuller. We were kept quite busy this year selling Christmas cards, chances on a bond, and candy at the basketball games. We had never been prouder in all our lives than the first day we were our nice new class rings. Picture day was another big day and everyone came polished and shining to school. Now, gentle reader, the preceding lines are by no means the full account of the happenings of our class. Many little incidents have been left out that would seem trivial to you, but these inci- dents have helped to mould our characters. The picniCS, hayrides, parties, and danceSethese and many more will forever remain a part of each and every one of us. To relate these would be only a futile attempt, for the pen could never describe them as they really happened. We ask you to keep these points in view and judge not harshly our serious eHorts in your behalf. eGLADYS JUDD.
