JaAf0'I1j..lJg.fh2. W4 HE Class of ,44 began its Freshman year with thirty-seven members. At the first meeting the following officials were elected: President, Charles Lingenfelter, Vice President, Max Manwaring, Secretary Treas- urer, Donald Vanderkooi. We were the first class to embark upon our high school career after Panama was centralized. The Sophomore year began with thirty-nine members. Our officers elected were: President, Max Manwaring, Vice President, Martin Crowe, Secretary, Richard Crosby, Treasurer, Donald Rider. The Junior Class had thirty-seven members. The following officers were elected at the first meeting: President, Hazel Terry, Vice President, Martin Crowe, Secretary, Richard Crosby, Treasurer, Donald Sturges. During the latter part of the junior year, we ordered our rings. Our class officers this year are: President, Gertrude Osborne, Vice President, Charlene Sturges, Secretary, Harvey Martin, Treasurer, Mar- tin Crowe. Two of the twenty-one Seniors left during the year leaving nineteen to graduate. The first big event was celebrated when our rings arrived. Our patriotic zeal has been shown by our IOOW participation in purchasing of Bonds and Stamps nearly every week throughout the year. Because we are the largest and one of the most capable classes to graduate from Panama, it was decided that we would publish the first yearbook. This enterprise was directed by Mr. George Johnson and dedi- cated to Mr. Leffingwell. Our treasury was opened by the proceeds earned as a result of the one-act comedy Pig of My Dreams, presented play night. We enjoyed decorating our tree and exchanging gifts at our Christ- mas party. The Seniors sponsored a party of the high school students in honor of David Crumb, who left for the Army. Our sleigh-ride party which reached its climax at Charlene Sturges' was well attended and a great success. One of the crowning events of the year was our Senior Play Let ,Er Go, Gallagher presented March Io. A class chosen committee selected the play and the following cast of characters: Jarvis Ireland, Hazel Terry, Dick Crosby, Gertrude Osborne, Charlene Sturges, Norman Swanson, Evelyn Ralyea, and Fayne Ecker. Following the successful presentation, we had a party at the home of Mary and Don Rider. QContinued on Page 46D 14
