JUNIOR HISTORY There were fifty-five of us standing out there that morning in 1940. Fifty-five green meek freshmen, not know- ing which way to turn. It took us a very short time to find out however, as the sophomores gave us a helping ihand and thoughtfully led us into initiation. It wasn't nearly as bad as we had anticipated tho, and it gave us a feeling of really belonging here now. Our officers that first year were: president, Don Littletong vice president, Glenn Kinney: secretary, Mable Hayes: treasurer, R. J. Atkins. That first year was an eventful one, with us freshmen proving ourselves in many fields. Bill Sanders and Floyd Quinn earned their first year letters in football, and in- numberable ones of our ranks turned out for all activities. 4 With an entire year of experience under our belt we returned in '41 feeling a good deal more confident. Initia- ting the helpless freshmen gave us a good deal of satisfact- ion and sent us sailing as worthy sophomores led by Mr. Lawson and president, Floyd Quinng vice president. Don Littletong secretary, Lillian Literal: treasurer, R. J. Atkins. Fburteen ambitious gals of our class took over the Barkers Club for the year, the boys turned out in fine style for all three sports and again our class was well represent- ed in all activities These first two years of our high school career were over almost before we realized it and we found ourselves enrolled as full fledged upper classmen. Our junior year was one of fast moving events and growing fame for many of us. President, Bill Paxton: vice president, Daryl Wilsong secretary, Alice Browng treasurer, Kenneth Burnside: sargeant-at-arms, Ruth Kennedyg and class representative: headed our group throughout this successful year with Mr. Bitzan lending a helpful hand. Our first class play went over with a bang as we introduced an amused audience to HAunt Tillie Goes To Townn on the 19th of March. Inspite of the disadvantages wer has brought on us all. we have found in our three years of high school, fun, inspiring work and achievement. We are looking forward to next year in the hope that we can make it count for even more.
