we set about to put the polish to our education and to impress the unimpressed Juniors. we were destracted by the loss in quick succession of Berna Egbert, June Peterson, and Norma Lee Taylor. They left us for California, Jerome, and matrinony respectively. Barbara Little- field completed her work and did not attend school the last semester. But the valient six carried on. Carnival, Senior Play, Pie Social and Senior Ball were but trifules to them as they stood on the threshold of graduation and the selective service. Presidents for the final year were Mike Stastny and Kenneth Briggs.

HISTORY OF YE SENIOR CLASS In the month of September in The Year of our Lord, Nineteen hund- red and forty two, the annual crop of freshmen entered Murtaugh High School. This class was much like all other Freshmen classes in as much as they gained the reputation of being the stupidest and wildest on record. The upper classmen even accused them of intemperate habits. The boys all surprised themselves by surviving the football season. Some doubts had been aroused when Burl opened his mouth and someone put their foot in it. Thats how dentists make their living. The freshmen ran the funhouse at the carnival. we didn't make much money but boy did we have fun. Our class presidents for the two semesters were Pauline Walker and Burl Egbert. we started with 23 members, during the year we lost Betty Earl, 'Ihea Egbert and Cremporarlyj Lloyd Davis Jr. June Peterson join- ed us. At the start of the Sophomore year we were depleted to fifteen in number. Delbert Thompson, Art Kockerhans, Truman Blie and Russell Buker had either moved or been driven away. Painful memories of our own in- itiation were eased by the delight of turning tormentor. 'me main pastime that year was anoying our English teacher M ss Hart. we learned a good deal about aeronautics, inventing about six new types of paper aircraft during English class. Junior Davis, back for a short stay, sometimes mystefied our teacher and part of the class by blowing smoke rings out of the inkwell in his desk. New members arriving that year were Barbara Littlefield and Helen Whitaker. Lulu Reed dropped school and Lou Ann Lincoln moved back to Texas. The boys didn't m ss Lou Ann so much. They finely agreed that there was no object in committing mass suicide. Class presidents were lhrk Arstein and Jim Perkins. we walked into our Junior year with the swager allowed that class though there were but ten survivors. Over the vacation Rosemary Rees and Helen Whitaker had transferred to Twin Falls and Burl Egbert to Burley. we had acquired two new members, Frances Cole and Norma Lee Taylor. we reigned supreme over the carnival securing for our-selves t e rich loot of the Bingo concession. With generous amounts of blood, sweat and tears we blew our earnings on our Junior Prom. Presidents that year were Frances Cole and Barbara Littlefield. Another vacation and at last emerged the majestic senior class. There were but nine. Jim Perkins was in Twin Falls, Frances Cole in Kansas, and Bill Snow in the Navy. Burl Egbert was back from Burley. Our new member was Aileen Barkes from Longview Washington.
