THE RED OAK CLASS CLASS OFFICERS President-William Pettit Vice President-Dorothy Underwood Secretary-Ruth Braddock Treasurer-Anna Bozarth FACULTY ADVISERS Allan Tomlinson William J. jackson Albert O. Dreher Hedwig T. Michalska Elizabeth S. McClure Frank G. Cheesman The class of 1944 began this year as a group distinctive for being the larg- est freshman class ever to enter Mount Holly High School. With an enthusiasm equal to its number the class met early in the year to choose class ofhcers. After listening to the excellent speeches of the can- didates for ofl-ice, the class chose ofhcers which have proved most capable. The most interesting activity of the year was the freshman dance, held on March 21. The dance, honoring both the freshman color, green, and St. Patrick was called the Shamrock Shag. In this the freshmen set a preced- ent for class dances by having the music furnished by a music box instead of an orchestra. The dance was highly successful. The members of the class are looking forward to more events even more enjoyable during their four-year stay in Mount Holly High School. -'10

THERED OAK Student RICHARD KULP' FRED PEW RAYMOND DAVIS SHIRLEE BECKER HARLAN GREENBERG During this year, 1940-41, our Student Council has been confronted with various problems of the school. The annual Welcome Dance, with School Days as its theme, was the first activity sponsored by Council. This proved to be very successful. With nearly every member of Student Council and the advisers attend- ing the annual meeting of the New jersey Association of Student Councils at Glassboro, many helpful ideas and suggestions were brought back to use in our work. Clearing the halls during noon-hours and dancing after basketball games were two of our greatest problems this year. The former problem was par- tially remedied by providing opportunity for students to dance, go to the auditorium, or remain in the cafeteriay The latter situation, however, will still remain an experiment until definite rules and regulations are made to meet with everyone's satisfaction. Student Council sponsored two interesting movies which were well sup- ported by the student body. Many Council members helped to make the Vocational Conference a successful affair by offering their services for various activities. One of the outstanding accomplishments this year was the securing of a name marker for our school. A contest was sponsored in order that a design might be obtained. . We have enjoyed our work on Student Council, and our wish is that those who serve in 1941-42 will also have an interesting and successful year. 42
