SENIUR GLASS HISTURY Our freshman year in high school began, as usual, with the initiation. Everyone surf vived with no more than two or three scratches. In October we gave the annual Hallowe'en party and invited the whole high school. This was the largest event of our freshman year. In December Miss Leakey entertained us at her home near Straughn with a turkey dinner. Then Eileen Matney gave a Valen- tine party for the class at her home. At the beginning of our Sophomore year we still had Miss Leakey as our sponsor and the class was beginning to feel that they were really a part of the high school. Activities during this year included a theater party and a New Year's Eve party at Dick Luellen's. Most of the class attend' ed the dinner at King's Inn given by Miss Leakey. The second semester began with Miss -Leakey resigning to teach at New Castle and Mr. Davis acting as our sponsor. The year 1943-43 at New Lisbon started with thirteen Juniors. In October Lillian and Lucile Russell left us, but in Novemf ber Verna Humphrey moved here. The officers elected were: Neal Barlow, presif dent, Gayle Reece, vice-president, and Eileen Matney, secretary and treasurer. Mr. Clodfelter was chosen as our sponsor to replace Mr. Davis who had left. We were slow getting started to sell candy and ice cream, but did very well on both of these. Helen Query entertained us at her home with a Hallowe'en party in October, and in November we had a theater party which everyone enjoyed. On March 19 we MOTTO : put all our efforts into the junior play, Too Many Husbands, coached by Mr. Clodfelter. This was a threefact farce com' edy which brought many laughs.

IN TEsTIMoNY HEREIN, we have in the a- bove words bequeathed and willed our worldly possessions to our worthy heirs this first day of April, 1944. Witnesses : HERSCHEL D. AN Kaos: V. J. CLODFELTER PARTING ADVICE Neil Barlow: Don't take more than two subjects like Office Practice and Geometry the same period.

Ira Paul Snow: Take as few subjects as possible because you have to take four a semester when a Senior anyway. Dick Wicker: Beware of female entanglef ments. Page Eight
