MARCHING WITH THE CLASS OF 41 By Professors of History Dean Wentworth, Wm. (Bill) Coker, Eleanor Mary Parker PREFACE AND DEDICATION This new and original history of the last four year class in P. H. S. is presented as an objective, unbiased, and uncensored record of the advancement and culture of the Class of 1941. This volume is lovingly dedicated to the Class ' s dear educators who racked their brains trying to teach that Class the fundamentals in the art of living and the science of working. CHAPTER I. RATS OR STARTING THE JOURNEY On September 16, 1937, four hundred and forty-eight freshmen entered Pensacola ' s institute of higher learning and set out on their Great Trek to Graduation in 1941. After being initiated into the mysterious routine of that school which they had always viewed with awe, the Rats roamed about the sacred halls in a state of eestacy just re- moved from delirium. But Marjorie Cook and Edna Kell snapped out of it to win first places in an essay con- test. Then the election of 1937 shocked the poor Rats into electing Hunley Elebash as president, Polly Sherrill as vice-president, Glenda Moore as secretary, and Bill Coker as treasurer. Squealing in high spirit, the Rats beheld the mighty Tiger football squad win six games out of nine, and the basketball quintet, cliampions of Northwest Florida, win twenty games out of twenty-three. Then in the same jovial spirit they sent their society stars to the Carnival Court — Polly Sherrill, Margie Teate, Joyce Myers, Alice Fell as maids, and Hunley Elebash, Bill Coker, Guy Yaste, Nilo Quigky as knights, Ann Brown as class re])resentat!ves, and Joe Eros and Kenneth Marchetti as escorts. CHAPTER II. SOPHOMORES OR ON THE WAY The Class of ' 41 goes down in history as the last class to enter P. H. S. as freshmen. In 1938 the ninth grade was moved to the junior high schools to make room for the expanding classes and thus the unfortunate forty-oners were forced to suffer a prolonged career as Rats. The sophomore. ' ? elected Nilo Quigley as president, Hunley Elebasli as viee-preiideiit, Margie Teate as secretary, and Harry Kahn as treasurer. Although the football team won only three games out o f nine and tied one, two senior members were chosen to serve on the Florida All Star Team this year. Then in basketball Sophomores Miller and Gibson served on the championship team which won twenty games out of twenty-four. A ' agenlieim and Elebash were members of the tennis team; Guy Yaste, of the golf team; and Lyons, Coker, Adams, Tallman, and Kindell of the track team. April 13-15 the Glee Club and Band went to DeFuniak where they took first places in the Florida Arts and Music Festival. Lois Richardson brought back highest honors as a vocalist. Serving the Royal Court for a second time the Class of ' 41 sent Ann Brown, Kitty Ward, Mary Leonard, and Miriam Goniillion to wait on the queen; and Dean AVentworth, Bill Barrs, Harry Kahn, and Bobby Gibson to attend the king. Dale Scott went as representative and Leslie Smith and Guy Yaste as escorts. CHAPTER III. MIDDLEMEN OR HALFWAY THERE! Seated in the gilded iiresidential chair of the Junior Class was the red-haired, dynamic George Wagenheim; about his worthy person were Eleanor Mary Parker, vice-president; !Mary Riley, secretary; and Mary Fabisinski, treasurer. Theirs Avas the tremendous task of overseeing the progress of their energetic class, and they did it well. Victorious to the last, the Tigers (in 1038 A. D.) won seven games out of nine and tied one. Among the idols produced by their successful campaigns were Angelo Ruggerio, Bobby Gibson, James Ward, Bob Jones, and Jimmy Haynes. Patriots all, the class of ' 41 vigorously upheld P. H.S. standards at track with Juniors Tallman, Work, Coker, Birks, Gauthier; at basketball with Gibson and Miller; at tennis with Eelebash, Wagenheim, Busey, Cowart, and Gaines; and at golf with Yaste. Unforgettable to all good Forty-oners is the play ' ' What A Life sponsored by the Dramatic Club, which had two juniors for officers: secretary. May Estes Smith and treasurer, George Wagenheim. George was also the vice- president of the Debate Club. Unforgettable is Eleanor Mary Parker who won first place in the American Legion Essay on American Citizenship, and Guy Yaste who carved a name for himself in the Annual as the staff ' s art editor. And incidentally, unforgettable is Lois Richardson, librarian for the Glee Club, whose dulcet voice helpdl the Club to capture first prizes at the West Florida Musical Festival. Ellis Work, George Wagenheim, Leslie Smith, and Bill Lyon were knights in the gay carnival court, and Joyce Pohlman, Mary Riley, Dorothy Hughes, and Betty Bird were the maids. Glenda Moore was the representative; Gene Cowart was the escort. And thus ended another year!
