CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1941, although against the wishes of both the new students and the faculty, a new, very green, bunch of Freshmen entered dear old P. H. S. we were fresh out of grade school, bursting with knowledge. Chl What a jolt we got with the first six weeks tests! What groans of suffering filled the airl Soon we learned to like the High School. C?J At the beginning of our Freshmen year, we were forty-two strong. However, us--Junior Bradley, Theresa'Garvert, Lena Wilma Miller, Wanda Ordway, Marjorie Mae one--Ferne Martin. during the year, seven members left Bedore, Robert Fischer, Lola Gough, Henn, and Carl Wicklund, and gained the year we did practically nothing Ah! Yes, that Sophomore year--that's but study Cwe thoughtl. Of course, some basketball teams, but mostly we thought how grand it would be to be an upper of the boys made the football and classman. 'What fools we mortals bel' We entered the Sophomore year Idth thirty-six members, but during the school year several left the fold, these being Cordelia'and Mary Rose Bedorc, Edgar Dougherty, Mary and Marjory Elliot, Donald Hammond, Richard Hake, Alma Pinon, and Lucille Schrant. Delmar Marston also left us, for the Army. We gained Leo Hamel, Marcelllne Bissett, and LeAnne Stoner. ' In our Junior year we managed to accomplish several things. We had some lettermen on the football and basketball team. We gave a Bang-up Junior play entitled 'Ready Made Family' and a Junior-Senior Banquet 'Moonlight and Roses that old P. H. S. will never forget. We managed to muster twenty-five members at the beginning of the Junior year. We lost from our midst Niland Clements and Mona Salndon and gained Shirley Husted and Theresa Garvert. We left the Junior year with hope in our hearts--only one more year of struggle and back breaking toil--and the end of a long and stony road. At last, we were Seniors, honorable and noble Seniors! C30 we thought.l Now, we could sit back and enjoy life with no more hard studies and no more grinds. Did we get a jolt when we found the teachers thought different--work, work, work, and more work. But finally we made the grade and became 'Alumni of Dear Old P. H. S.' We entered the Senior year with a scant twenty-five members to carry on the grand but somewhat faded records of the class of '45. During the course of the year Lyle Meredith vent to the Navy, James Hrabe and Everett Phllieger to the Army. Ellen Wise and Gwen Markley finished the graduating re- quirements at the end of the first semester. We gained into the fold Eileen Cronk from Covert, and Claude Sprinkle from Alma, Nebraska. After four years of hard work and fun, the remnants of the group who on the way to Commencement Day, have finally reached their goal 'Graduation'. The Senior Class of 1945 hopes that all succeeding classes have as much fun and good times in their four years of High School.

The scene of the play, took place in the dooryard of a Negro's cabin in the Vir- ginia Hills. Rose an orphan, CPat Baumgartnerj, had been brought up by her aristocratic Aunt Hester, KFerne Martini. The love which the little girl craved had been given her by dear old lammy Celie, iTheresa Garvertl.
