Crash! Boom! What was that? That was the Freshmen of '39 starting out their next four years with a bang, we really made history. To start things rollin' the class officers for the freshmen were: President. Frances Gaylor: Vice-President. Carol Wallace: Secretary-Treasurer. Elizabeth Fowler and representative of the freshmen in the student council, Jean Shomo. It was during our freshman year that the Boost- ers' Club was organized. In our sophomore year we were still young, gay. and mischievous. Those in charge of our mischievery were: President. Max Galloway: Vice-President. Tom Sanders: Secretary- Treasurer. Mary Frances Crawford: last year's class president represented the sophomores in the student council. The Booster's Club gave a school dance during this year and a good time was had by all. In the junior year we really strutted our stuff. led by: President. Jean Shomo: Vice-Presi- dent. Tom Quinn: Secretary-Treasurer, Mary Frances Crawford. The class rings were or- dered for the following year. To earn money for the junior-senior banquet, dish towels. Christ- mas cards and stationery were sold. Two shows were sponsored. Charlie MacCarthy. The De- tective and The Son of Monte Cristo. Breaking an old custom of going to Charleston for the banquet, we had it right here in our alma mater. Dancing followed the dinner. Max Gal- loway was elected president of the student council for the coming year. At last came the long awaited year. We were now dignified (?) seniors. We elected Dar- ius Silman. President: George Cook. Vice-President: Mary Frances Crawford. Secretary-Treas- urer. and Libby Fowler, representative for the student council. Due to the fact that Max Galloway moved away, Jack Bailey was elected president of the student council. The Dra- matics Club gave their annual play, Leave It To Mother.” Thus ends four years of activities that will never be forgotten. May the succeeding years be just as happy and successful.
