THE HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 41 On October 3, l939, we came to- gether for the first time, after spending two years in other high schools, in the new and nearly completed building which was to be known as Plum Township High School. Not long after school began, we held our initial class meeting. Werner Stresky was elected president, Wil- liam Simpson vice president, and lvah Muffley as secretary. Mr. Gage was elected our class adviser. This meeting organized the first graduating class of Plum Twp. High School. We soon became acquainted with our new building, our teachers, and our fel- low classmates. Clubs were organized and many members of our class were elected to various offices. Student Council was organized with the following elected as our first representatives: William Farkas lloter succeeded by John Connl, Heil Truby, and Bet- ty Davidson. Plum High's new basketball team got underway with several of our members an the varsity. We cheered with the rest when Plum High, in its first basketball game, defeated Export by a score of l7-l6. Our class held the first high school skate at the Trocarino on January 25, l94O. This was a great success and we were really proud of ourselves that night. We started the second semester in a nearly complete equipped building. We had our auditorium seats now and teachers' desks, and gym bank boards. March ll, l94O, will be remembered as the day we received the first order of our class rings. We strutted the halls all day with our hands extended displaying those keen class rings of ours. As our first year at Plum High drew to a close, we held our second big skate, on June 3, l94O. This time it was at the National. We certainly did some fancy skating and flops on that eventful eve. Our Class Night was held on June 20, l94O. How we did shudder at the spooky movie that was part of our program! We celebrated that night for the next day was the last day of school. This last day closed our first year at Plum High. After our vacations we were glad to start back to our final year of high school. We were Seniors and how we shouted for joy! At the first class meet- ing of the year we elected Roy Hartzell as president, Frank Zalac as vice president, and Sara Thomas as secretary. Miss Sohn was elected as sponsor, and Mr. McJunkin as faculty treasurer. Our Student Vice President .. Secretary . Faculty Adviser . Faculty Treasurer SENIOR OFFICERS President . ., . . . . , ,. . Roy Hartzell Council representa- tives were John Conn, William Simpson, and Betty Davidson. Later, in December, Student Council was reorgan- ized and our repre- sentatives for the re- mainder of the year were Betty Davidson, Jane Eiler, and John Jameroone. Our first event of the year was a re- cording dance held on September 20, l94O. Then too, the annual staff started its long year's work on Plum High's Criterion, Early last No- vember we come to school dressed in our Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes for that was the day we had our Senior pictures taken. November 22 was a red-letter day for us. We presented the first Senior class play, Parents' Holiday. We puffed out our chests with pride when we heard our audi- torium fill with roars of laughter. The play was truly a big success. We held a skate at the Trocarino on November 27. As true of all our skates, it was o success. We ended i940 by selling basketball schedule pencils. During January we held recording dances after the Friday evening games. These dances were fol- lowed by the Senior Heart Hop on February l2. Angelo Baldi's orchestra furnished the music for our swinging and swaying. On March l7, we held our last big skate at the National. We were a happy crowd that night. On March 27 and 28 we presented the Senior Footlight's Club play, Here Comes Charfie. It was a produc- tion that any Senior class would be proud of. Now, with all these happy events but pleasant memories, we look forward to the Junior-Senior re- ception on Moy 23, which of course, is always one of the highlights of the year in any school. The Senior boys are pondering who they will ask, and the girls are wondering whether the right one will ask them. Then will come the climax of our four years in high school-graduation week! Baccalaureatte on June l, followed by Class Night on June 2, and then finally, June 4 will bring graduation night and our diplomas. How proud we will be while we are wear- ing our purple and gold caps and gowns! After graduation, what then? Some of us will go on to college, others will find jobs, and, of course, there will be marriage for many of the girls. Who knows? America will be honoring some of its greatest citizens and, perhaps among them there may be names of graduates of the first graduating class of Plum Township High, the Class of '4l. --Claude Gould . , Frank Zalac .
