Vanishing American-'44 . We all remember starting our education, some of us going to Center School and others going to the various ward schools. Facing our hardships during those years and yet gettin-g into mischief all tend to make our earlier years in school interesting. Then we entered Junior High, thinking of our- selves as ladies and gentlemen. Too old to stand in the corner but too young to be perfect was the attitude of the students. VVe had our activities such as homeroom basketball, girls' chorus, and that typical fortune teller, Bert Ricketts. Our class was the first to start Junior High Class Night which was, by all means, a great success. Then came that great night, graduation. Marquita Berner received the American Legion award which was a great honor a11d a good start for smooth sailing. This completed our grade school training, and now we were ready for BI.H.S. Registration day for the Freshman was quite exciting, but yet we had a group that was willing to help us, and the same help was given us during our remaining days here. Going to various classes and several times being directed to the wrong classes by the chiefs filled our first day of fatigue in high school. The first great thrill we received was going to the animal dance in honor of the Freslnnen. Joining clubs, taking part in athletics, and learning how to study were ideals of most Freshmen and were all well in hand by the end ot' the year. Tl1e11 came our Sophomore year which was a huge success since we were well accustomed to the nature of high school. Miss Erhardt, Mr. Huck, and Miss Higgins all helped to make that year more interesting. That was the year that all took part in initiating the Freslimen. Nlext, becoming a part of the upper class made ns feel quite sophisti- cated. Tlhe Junior-Senior Prom was one of our greatest successes. The deco- rations were well taken care of in the hands of Tony7Q Sterritt. The theme, which we will never forget, was 'fllambi . The Junior Play, also furthering our interests, seemed to be enjoyed by all. . 1 Then came a sarl note. Several boys from our own Junior iklass were enlisting and some were drafted. The war had come too, and with it our awakening to the great responsibilities which faced us in the future. - In our Freshmen Class there were over one hundred students, and in our Senior Class there are approximately sixty. During our last year we all missed Zeke Morral, Moose Sehaible, 'fTony Sterritt, and Dick Black, while Jim lNl'cElvain and Jim Collins transferred to other schools. Even though it seems to us that our liabilities greatly outnumber our assets, it 's up to us to lielp win this war with our own plans in the background and then begin to plan for a glorious future.
