The highlight of our sophomore year was the party we gave for the entire high school. Our junior year was filled with excitement and fun. We sponsored concessions, skru-ball game, book-store, junior play, and the prom. New students enrolling in our class that year were Dick Ruwe and Charles Spencer. The long awaited day came at last-we were seniors! Our new and able sponsor was Miss Myers. We found many new and exciting events in store for us. 0ur main activities were the sale of Christmas cards, the publication of the annual, the senior play, and our graduation exercises. We are now on our way of becoming adults. In years to come we will be looked upon as only a few of the numerous alumni of Pike High School.

Class History In September of 1939 there entered into the halls of Pike thirty-six eager seekers of excitement, new friendships, play, and whatever knowledge happened to be picked up along the way. Of the original thirty-six, only ten have remained. They are: Ellen Brooks, Mary Bernhardt, Etta Marie Burton, Charlotte Hardin, Arline Schooler, Alice Wade, Tom Anderson, and Allen Head. Two of the original ten, Barbara Bugg and Betty Wilson, moved away, but later returned. Our first grade teacher, Mrs. Nellie Smith, and second grade teacher, Miss Marjorie Davis, helped us through the trials and tribulations of our early school career. During these two years Dale Hollingsworth and Jane Engeler, respectively, entered our class. Mrs. Blanche Wagle, our third grade teacher, and the class welcomed a new student, Louise Harvey, who was destined to become a permanent member. Our fourth grade teacher was Miss Jeanette Sandlin, now Mrs. Bush. New enrollments in our class this year were: Judy Dillon, Donna Jo Sloan, Theodore Potter, and Edgar Cottingham. John Snyder was with us for a brief period of two weeks, but later returned when we were freshmen to become our class president for four happy high school years. In our fifth school year with Mrs. Helen Huffer as our teacher, we were joined by Bill Hayden and Joanne Rodibaugh. Miss Evelyn Reed was our sixth year teacher. At this time Marilue Gentry and James Guilfoil became members of our class. During the September of 19145 we embarked upon the second half of our school career wnen we entered the seventh grade with a class of thirty-five. Because of the Wdensityn of our class, we were divided into two groups with Mrs. Beulah Frist and Miss Evelyn Heed as our supervisors. Sue Deugan entered our class at this time to become a permanent member. Mr. Voris Smith, our eighth grade sponsor, with a sigh of relief passed us on to the high school teachers for the last rou d of our twelve year Wtermn. The following September we enrolled in high school. Anita Dowling, Caroline Siemantel, Rosie Towns, John Snyder, and Dwaine Bell joined our ranks. Mr. Everett Daniels was given the task of being our sponsor for three glorious years. Three weeks after school started we became full-fledged high school members after a thorough initiation by the senior class. Later in the year our revenge was complete when our class defeated the seniors in the class tourney consolation game 0 ll
