HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF '42 REMEMBER 1940? That was the year the famous class of '42 entered Pensacola High School. The class of '42 was the first to come to Pensacola High in their sophomore year. Ah! Those were the days-days when December 7th was just an- other winter day, when fall brought the 1Vorld Series and the opening of the football season-not international crises-brilliant days. VVe, the class of '42, started off our brilliant high school career by supporting our very successful football team. Seven wins, one tie, one defeat. We chose for our class officers, Jane Noonan, president, Billie Pat Cary, vice- presidentg Gallena XVisehaupt, secretary, Jack Fleming, treasurer. XVe were proud of our cast for TVh'at a Life. The Dramatic Club took second place in the district contest in Tallahassee. Our band and Glee Club took top honors at the Annual Music Festival in DeFuniak. REMEMBER THE SPRING OF '40? The carnival-1Ve chose outstanding students of our class to represent us in the annual spring carnival. Our maids were Alice Yeargin, Jane Noonan, Betty Lewis, and Nita McGuire. Our knights were Jack Fleming, Ken- neth Fulghum, Rawle Ray, and David Henriques. Our class representative was Bette France, and our sophomore escort was Maurice Olensky. Remember our basketball team? They did fairly well in 19-10-won seven, lost eleven games. Our tennis team won all but one match. The golf team lost only two matches. LET'S GO BACK T0 1941! Remember? Remember when we elected the class officers for our junior year? Ann Gunn was elected presi- dent and her three fellow-officers were Virginia Read, vice-president, Kenneth Fulghum, secretary, and David Henriques, treasurer. Vile had a fairly good football team and with the help of new uniforms it went on to win six, lose three and tie one. Vtie had several capable juniors on that squad, including David Henriques, Charlie Cain, Alfred Pipkin, Edwin Simpson, Tommy Loggins, and Carl Crosby. Our track team did remarkably well all during the season and in the state tournament. Coach Maynard turned out a fast, hard-working team and took fourth place in the annual meet. Horace Chance, Rawle Ray, Jim Mor- gan, Vic Kalfus, and Carl Crosby did their share for the junior class. That was the year the once-scared sophomores became juniors and showed their merit in teamwork in basketball. Ralph VVilliams and Harry Hughey took over first-string assignments and with their help the team won eleven, lost eight, and reached the semi-finals in the Northwest Florida Basketball Tournament. Edwin Simpson, Charlie Cain, Kenneth Fulghum, and Jack Buckley also lent their aid to the Fighting Five. That was the year the Glee Club gleefully captured aplace in the First Division Class A in the annual lVest Florida Music Festival held in DeFuniak Springs. It was led by Mrs. Davis and had such singers as Jack Fleming, Bay Abercrombie, Kent XVilliams, Bette Varnum, NitaMcGuire, and Ann Gunn from the junior class. Three juniors were elected to offices in the Dramatic Club: Jack Fleming, vice-president, Virginia Read, secre- tary, and Rebecca Berlin, treasurer. Remember the fun you had at the carnival that year? The maids were: Ann Gunn, Virginia Read, Barbara Gardner, and Bette France, and Kathleen Alley was the class representative. The knights were: Tommy Loggins, Sidney Anderson, Charles Cain, and Jack Buckley, with Grayson Parker as the class escort. AND 1942- Grading periods were for the first time changed from four to six week, making only three report cards per semester. November 8-Night football games were prohibited for the first time in many years because of the need to con- serve electric power for defense. V November 21-Remember how hard our Student Council worked to make our school life complete with all of the trimmings? For the first time in the history of Pensacola High School we had a dance sponsored by the school. Jack Fleming was president of the Student Council, Ann Gunn, vice-president, and Jane Noonan, secretary-treasurer.
