OFF THE RECORD One September morning in 1940, a group of timid freshmen, 104 strong, approached Pasco High. We were excited, and a little frightened, since we had no idea of what lay ahead for us. We have come a long way since that day, and, now as our high school days approach their ending, we look back and recall many events that will live in our memories always. On that September morning, we were sent to be under the guidance of the Misses Bunn, Voss, and Lewis. We took over the old wooden building with a great air of authority, and directed over affairs in like manner. Our activities that year included: a trip to Tallahassee with the band to participate in the governor's inauguration. a place in the Gasparilla Parade, an assembly program given in pantomine, and a glorious year’s ending with a picnic at Crystal Springs, from which we returned looking exactly like lobsters. Then came the second year of our high school career. The world was at war and patriotism ran high. Many of our upperclassmen left school to join the armed forces. Probably the most important question of the year was, ‘Who will serve at the Junior-Senior Banquet? Those of us who drew the lucky breaks, donned our colorful gypsy glad-rags and had a wonderful whirl serving the Juniors and Seniors with true gypsy food. We wound up our sophomore year at Crystal Springs- No serious mishaps occurred . . merely a sprained ankle to remember the auspicious occasion. The third year we were allowed to hang our hats with Miss Percival and Mrs. Huckabay. We were Juniors now! Because of the war, we decided to give our banquet at noon instead of at night, as the custom had been for many years. The Woman’s Club lawn looked like a bit of Holland, the girls wearing full skirts, white aprons and caps, and the boys, full trousers, and yes, pipes with real smoke rolling out The chow was a good old American dish—turkey, although we had been promised real dutch food -sauerkraut. Our play this year was a Junior-Senior affair also: three one-act plays presented by a cast chosen from both classes. But at long last THE YEAR arrived. We iound that being a senior entails much responsibility. Momentous decisions came up about personal cards, (what kind of script shall I choose?), the style of invitations (perhaps I won’t need them after all), caps and gowns (fate decided we couldn’t have white), class colors, flower, play, whether or not the Pistol Packing Mama floor show given at our dance would be acceptable, the picnic postponed two weeks for reasons known only to ourselves), baccalaureate plans, and finally the GREAT NIGHT. The shadow of war sobered us very often. In February, Jimmie Draughn Sanders joined the navy, and Leslie Sapp the coast guard- Several of the boys joined the reserves: John Berkstresser, George Black, Bill Henderson, Jimmie Getzen, Gene Ferrell, Alfred Pike, USNR; Roddy Woodcock, H- Y. Woodard. Joe Russell. ACR. Camille Graves, Betty Sutton, and Helen Young Joined the war effort by learning telegraphy. Allen Phillips went into defense work, and Mary' Emily Childers and Darlene Huffstutler married soldiers. The class of 1944 moved on into the ranks of Pasco’s Alumni, and thus FIFTY-THREE young men and women began their separate journeys into the future. 5
