25 OFFICERS President...............................WILLIAM RARDIN Vice-President...............GENEVA BANNING Secretary...............................KATHRYN GRABLE Treasurer.........................ROBERT SLAY' RARDIN, GRABLE, BANNING, SLAY Epic Of A Senior In June, 1941, a class of one hundred forty-four students left P. H. S. As freshmen they began to make a name for themselves on basketball, football, and track teams; in glee clubs, orchestra, and band. Many took part in the Carnival, the Historical Pageant, and helped produce two plays, Elmer and A Friend at Court. Twelve students were on the honor roll. During their sophomore year their only dramatic undertaking of the year, The Ups and Downs of the Browns, was a great success. The class also helped win second in the State Basketball Tournament. In their third year some were members of the Writers' Club, others took part in their class play, Remember the Day. They also helped win the E. I. League football championship. During their final year the class of '41 furnished most of the basketball team. They sponsored The Big Broadcast of 1941 and assisted in putting on the Mikado. The baccalaureate and commencement exercises over, the class of '41 went forth into the world to try to make a name for themselves.
