Tear ld School cz s We've grown, in 'four short years, from pig- tailed little girls and small, tousled boys, into sen- iors, the graduating class of 1941. As We near the end of our Dear Old Golden Rule Days - days of classes, homework, trips to the oiice, Jr.- Sr., club, convocations, pep sessions, balcony meet- ings, chapel, and most of all, the nal exams, we stop long enough to write on o slates and copy books a story too long to be told in this single volume. At the beginning of our Dear Old Golden Rule Days , we chose as our officers: Bob Park, president, Bill Hawk, vice-president, Janice Shroy- er, secretary-treasurer, and Norma Shadle and Dick Henderson, class advisers. We had as our sponsors Miss Morehouse and Mr. Craig. On the opening day of school we had an enrollment of sixty-one, but five students withdrew during the year: Bernice Boltz, Robert Carey, Edna Carr, Lois Evans and Ethel Irelan. Inez Beeks and Mar- garet Fisher entered after school had begun. Jack Lineberry also entered but withdrew after only a few weeks' stay. On November 24 we gave a two-act playlet entitled The Mysterious Thanks- giving Guest. . . Remember some of the puppy love we had way back in those good old days? Then, Jeanne Hol- croft, now our editor-in-chief, and Bob Park, now our class president, were to be seen courting in the vestibule at noon, and Janice Shroyer and Bill Hawk were often seen strolling together at noon. That year Mildred Johnson thought she just could- n't live unless she had Sam Wunderbaum by her side, however she soon changed her mind, or some- body changed it for her. How well do we remember when our readin', writin', and 'rithmetic were taught to the tune of a hickory stick. We began our sophomore year with Gathel Walker, president, Betty Ellis, vice - president, Bill Chaney, secretary - treasurer, and Evelyn Richwine and Jim Whitecotton, class advisers. Our sponsors were Miss Morton and Mr. Cantwell. Fifty-six students entered the class at the beginning of the year and four withdrew: Jeanne Griffith, Hershel Kershner, Leo Schmidt, and John Norton. As our convocation that year we presented Whose Money? Each sophomore girl very anxiously awaited to see if she would be one of the lucky few that would get her first taste of the annual Jr.-Sr. banquet that year by being chosen to serve. Of all the things that happened in our junior year! We chose as our leaders: Dave Bowman, president, Jim Whitecotton, vice-president, Ga- thel Walker, secretary-treasurer, and Velma Free- man and Dick Henderson, class advisers. Our sponsors were Miss Nelson and Mr. Wilson. At the beginning of the year there were fifty-nine juniors. Then John Giles and George McCleary entered during the first semester, but Raymond Chenoweth, Milan Sills, John Giles, Alice Ham- mond, George McCleary, and Edith Goodnight Erithdrew during the year, leaving us only fifty- ve ............. . . One of the big events was the selecting of our class rings on October 31. Oh, dear! we thought we just couldnlt wait until they came. When they arrived, every junior went about say- ing, See my ring. I think they're the most beau- tiful class ring I have seen for many a year. It seems rather odd that several boys didn't buy a ring, or at least they weren't wearing one. I guess that is one way of showing a girl your affection. . . . On December 1 we presented as our class play Relatives by Affection, a Chinese drama, the characters of which were as follows: Dee Towns, Betty Ellis, Elaine Landis, Gathel Walker, George McCleary, Denton Reff, Bill Chaney, Velma Free- man, Bill Davis, Janice Shroyer, Jeanne Holcroft, Valda Dennings, Warren Emshwiller, Margaret Fisher and Helen Louise Riggs. On April 17, we gave as our convocation Who Says Can't?,' My! my! what a bustle on May 17, when the juniors with eager anticipation decorated the Church of Christ for the annual Junior-Senior banquet! With an abundance of lilacs, tulips, red buds, and branches from trees, both with and without blossoms, the church was transformed into a Moonlit Garden. The flowers and branches were artistically arranged at either end of the room and around the orchestra platform. At one end of the room a wooden bridge was improvised, over which the guests were forced to walk. Large bowls of tulips and lilacs decorated the candle- lighted tables. Vari-colored balloons, overhead, added to the effectiveness of the setting. A three- piece orchestra played delightful music through- out the banquet. Some of the good friends, or couples, at the banquet were: Helen Davis and Dave Bowman, Velma Freeman and Jim Whitecotton, and Mil- -13.-
