CLASS POEM Our life at P. H. S. now ends; We say farewell to teachers and friends. We leave with this as a parting thought — What joys these years to us have brought. This is the class of forty-one; Today we graduate. We know not where our paths will lead, Or what will be our fate, But only that our task is done. With honor we depart. Memories oT P. H. S. Lingering in our heart. And now, with just one farewell look. We end this chapter in our book. In life, our goal will be the sky — For our Alma Mater, Pensaeola High ! — Mildred Entwistle SENIOR SONG From the halls of Pensaeola To the jobs of the U. S. A. Maybe to the halls of college Our future course we lay. Forward with thy standard ever We, the class of ' forty -one. Do cherish, love, and praise thee, ' Till our race in life is done. {In the Halls of Montezuma) Thoughts of happy days that we have spent Serve to keep our standards high As we leave our Alma Mater, And praise her to the sky; As we bid farewell to P.

MARCHING WITH THE CLASS OF ' 41 CHAITER IV. DIGNIFIED SENIORS OR THE END OF THE TRAIL Aftfi- tliri ' f veins 111 ' liiinl .si ni(; rlt ' s iiiiil (lit ' liciilties, tlu- ( ' las,- of ' 41 liimlly reiiclietl its Kfiiior vi ' iir. I ?d by Hob- by rilamour Hoy Uil)son, with tiny Dottie Keys assistiiiK, Hnnley Klelmsh scribbling notes and Kleanor Mary Parker trunrdinp the money box, the class was destined to have the most exiitinp year of all. Football was the center of attraction diirinjr tlie fall, with Captiiin .lininiic Haynes and Alternate Captain An- gelo KuKKPrio spnrrinK the team on to winninj; five games, tyin r one and losing three out of a tough schedule. The team chose, as the year ' s most valuable player, Koger Lone Ranger Scott, who was also given a position on the West Florida team. Al the Thanksgiving game, senior leltcrmen chose sponsors who made the game more colorful and interi ' sting. Adding nuuh to the school spirit were the cheerleaders, three of whom were seniors: Xilo ( uigley, captain, George Harris and Kleanor Mary Parker. The basketball team with Ilake Miller as captain and Bobby Gibson, alleiriate captain, provided many thrilling moments of play to its loyal PUS supporlei-s. In the minor sports. Captain Guy Yaste, our golf prodigy, led the team through a successful season. The two boy wonders, Klcbash and Wagenheim, entered the tennis tournament held by the city and u|)hel l the honor of PHS on the school team. The track team, with a .senior. Bill Lyon, as captain, began a very promising season by winning the first meet of the year. The Class of ' 41 was indeed proud to have Ann Brown chosen D. A. K. representative. This honor is given to a senior girl who is considered the best school citizen. As a farewell gift, the senior class pre8ente l a new American flag to the school. Students suffering from spring fever recovered enough to attend the annual spring caniival, where seniors, Bobby Gibson and Betty Bird, reigned over Pen Hi Land, with Nilo Quigley and Ann Brown in the second place of honor. Ellis Work and Dale Scott were chosen as knight and maid of honor, with Dotlie Keys, Kathryn Allen, Mil- dred Gentry, and Glenda Moore as maids an3 .Tune Shone as class representatives. Koger Scott, .Jimmy Haynes, Joe Earl Kingry and Rudyard Tallman were the knights with Eugene Griffiths and Jinuny Galey as escorts. One Wild Night — and I don ' t mean what you think I mean — but that masterful production of the senior class, the annual play! Several never to be forgotten characters are Evans Goodnight, Betty Bird, Bobby Kahn, Mildred Pate, Fred-and-His-Red-Flannels Winkler, Dr. Leslie Smith, Nurse May Estes Smith (no kin), Charles Coe, Joyce Pohlmann, Harry Boy Scout Kahn, Macatherdese Fitzpatrick, Albert Tough-Guy Schwa rz, ' Peggy Hollings- worth, and George Flatfoot Wagenheim. ! a ■..-ii., Miracles never cease!!! Contrary to all former customs, PHS under the leadership of tlie ' stildei ' it council, held the first school-sponsored dance in the history of the school. Everyone had a wonderfol time and the class of ' 41 behaved as dignified seniors should. n i.? i.i: ' wol i Several new departments were added this year to the heavier side, of our school life. Miss Kent taught a journalism class and was in charge of the Tiger ' s Tale. Mr. Crago taught speech, and another new member of the faculty, Mr. Tyler, taught the Diversified Cooperative Training course. An interesting addition to the extra-curri- cular activities was the Junior Historical Society. This club presented many programs on historical Pensaeola through-out the year with Mrs. Johnston as faculty advisor. Dean Wentworth, president ; Mary Fabisinski, vice-pres- ident; Bob Jones, secretary; Fred Winkler, chairman scrapbook committee; Bradford Keene, program committee; and Peggy S. R. Holljngsworth as the club ' s reporter. Again in. the Dramatic and the Debate Clubs the seniors took the lead — for better or for worse — with George W agenhcim president of the Dramatic Club and Dean Wentworth president of the Debate Club. Along about April 2, the weary and worn out seniors were shocked out of their spring fever and back to the harsh realities of school life by the dread of all seniors — Americanism. As they were recovering from this, the measles and the last weekend, another catastrophe fell upon them. Intelligence tests were given April 8, and for a week they went around in a daze trying to regain the dignity and pride they lost in themselves when they realized how utterly ignorant they really were. At last!! June 3!! Graduation — the end of the trail when all worthy seniors will receive the longed-for diplo- ma with a grin and a sigh of relief, and sing for the last time as students, Loyal to Our Alma Mater, Pensaeola High.
